This is a pretty solid list that I can’t really disagree with, and I learned a thing or two about the many differences in models before the 1980s. Nice writeup!

Judging by the options I can see right away - Premium Package & 20" wheels, this car would’ve been at least $95k+ when new - I don’t think the price is too far out of line. It’s actually on the low end for Taycans currently on the market. However for the buyer this car would be catering to, there are better deals to…

Thanks a million! The car’s currently in the shop awaiting belt service - can’t wait to drive it confidently again.

With that mileage, the seller’s price is just under what a comparable Taycan from a dealer, with CPO coverage, would be. It’s not excessive, but if you’re prepared to spend $80k on a used car, I think spending a little extra for that protection is worth it.

It’s snug back there, but headroom is actually a bigger issue than legroom. 

My mom is fully committed to electric cars and is done with her Tesla. I work with Porsche and I’d love to get her in a Taycan, but the Cadillac Lyriq seems more her speed. Her favorite car she’s ever owned was a Mercedes-Benz 300TD Wagon, so that would be a nice pick for nostalgia’s sake. Knowing my mom, she’d be…

Is this going to be sold outside Utah? I'm just wondering how many people with the means to drop $165k on a car would also actually road trip with it. 

The convertible looks better than the coupe, mostly because it resembles a little speedboat from the side view. 

thanks so much!

I guess it sounds cooler than “front engined Porsches.” I think the logic is that mid and rear engined cars would implicitly have a transaxle due to its layout.

You must be new here. This is COTD-worthy

The best thing about it is also the most intimidating thing about it. The Porsche 968 was only built from 1992 - 1995, making them fairly rare and thus difficult to source parts and reliable service for. Working for a Porsche dealership, and being well-connected with the enthusiast community behind transaxle Porsches…

That certainly is a car

The 365 GTC/4 of the early 70s is just dull, and I think that’s the worst thing an exotic car can be.

Good call. I know light-bars are all the rage again, but this has to be the clumsiest implementation I’ve seen. 

I’ve heard so many strange descriptions for what this thing might look like. 

Driving a Porsche Taycan completely shifted my perspective on how enjoyable electric cars could be. My previous experiences with them came from driving Nissan Leafs and Tesla Model Ss. The Leaf was interesting as it was my first time in an EV that wasn’t a go-kart, but its limited range and Versa bones kept it from…

Translation: “The 911 is a fantastic, attractive, charismatic, and enjoyable car, and if it was a person, it would likely have lots of sex.” 

I’m sure it does, but there are some out there who still prefer three pedals, and that stubborn preference will trump any other metric that the Accord excels in for those buyers.
