“I wanna buy that car” - my 2 year old. She’s so advanced for her age.

A resounding agreement that it’s truly craptacular. A part of me was hoping that hidden behind the normal auto mode was the ability to self regulate gears with normal DCT quickness and self choice.

I guess I wasn’t sure if the most recent gen had them readily available yet. But yeah, a hard top is a solution.

Rather than STI, I’d say just WRX. You get a much newer, lower mileage car in that price range and only give up a small fraction of the driving experience.

Except that he said he’s been shopping caymans and not boxsters. So I’m guessing he’s not much for convertibles. Some people just don’t like a soft top.

He said he doesn’t care about speed, so why pay for extra for the turbo. He could get two really well sorted NA 944s for under budget and then have one to drive if the other is in the shop. Genius!

Jon should Doug Demuro this situation and get the Cayman with some type of warranty.

I haven’t gotten a chance to drive the ford system, but let’s say you put it in manual mode(I’m assuming there is one), can you have enough control to be happy?

Yeah, they are just about there. Probably better getting one from a first caring owner than from the second owner who has a similar mentality.

There are three fixes for this dog pooping look, the first is lowering the rear of the car slightly, the second seems to be running 18" wheels in the back instead of the 19s, finally the srt spoiler helps. I don’t own one but I swore to myself I would do those three things if I ever felt compelled to own one.

I bought a similarly despondent 535i as my first car to work on, and paid similar amounts but for a car with about 90k less miles. The suspension replacements aren’t that hard, the oil leaks can be a real pain(I have curbed but not stopped mine). The interior stuff would be a heck of a lot easier, except my car is the…

I’ve driven so few cars and many of them not modern that this may not be that helpful but let me try, a manual allows you to:

That looks like a headache, this is true beauty.

Great tip! It isn’t even that expensive, I’ll order and my other can become my backup.

When I started driving my 84 944 everyday, I expected to be riding my bike more often. Happily, today was my first day resorting to such measures involuntarily. Damn fuel pump relay(I hope).

I see lots of comments on why people don’t like sales or dealerships but not many people trying to figure out why it’s changing lately?

My two year old seems to have a bit of love hate relationship already with my 944. The front seats encroach slightly on her toes, my manual skills leave a little something to be desired, and when we went to take it on our first road trip, it didn’t start and she was not happy, “daddy’s new car is broken?” However, she…

A purple hatchback would make my wife throw up a little in her mouth. Pictured: wife’s car.

The Audi TT has always been its own little sports car(fwd based, early DSG adoption, tiny but 2+2). And I appreciate that, and I haven’t driven one but would like to. I have a hard time pegging down why I’d get one though. For way less money you could get a Golf R and a tune and be damn close in speed, and you get a…
