How do you plan to use it? Weekend fun car? DD? Road trip car? If the latter, Panny. Any other app, C4S. Mixed use - C4S...T

What is with your obsession with PDK? Second post about a PDK car. Manuals for the win.


Also, this is a "apples or oranges" type question.

Panamera if you plan on regularly driving around 2 or 3 other people older than 8yrs old. C4S for everything else. One is a sporty sedan, the other is a sports car.

My thought is that if youre cross shopping these two vehicles its Panamera all the way.

The Panamera will give you the Porsche look and feel without the limitations in daily utility.

The 911 is a good choice if you plan to track your car as the rear engine layout is unique and rewarding.

I would not take a brand new panamera if it were left in my driveway at 75% off purchase price. No thanks.

This thread is weird. How are you x-shopping a 4 door barge vs a 2 door sports car. I feel bad looking at a 911 vs a 4C or Evora/Exige as they are pretty different.

Panamera owners seem to be fairly happy with the car. I still think it looks a bit odd, but not entirely terrible.

I think long term you will be more happy with a 9 1 1. It'll be easier to trade if you change your mind anyways.

This should be pretty simple. If you are carrying a lot of people and "stuff" get the Panamera... otherwise get the 911.

I have a few manual cars, and have heard good reviews on the PDK and would like to have one.
