Question HELP! 996 vs. 993

At the suggestion of other members, I'm posting this message on the 996 page too. I need some advice and opinions. I have previously owned a 964 and 996. Don't ask me why, but for some insane reason I sold them. I really miss driving a Porsche and again I am shopping for one. I currently drive an Audi TT quattro coupe. I am trying to decide between a 993 and 996. I liked my 996 when I had it, but it felt big and not as nimble as my 964. I love the lines of the 993. The car would be my daily driver. Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott

Based on what you've said, you may like the 993. It is a lot closer to the 964 than it is to the 996. At least, in terms of being nimble. However, with some suspension tweeking, you can make the 996 just as nimble or nimbler than the others.
