Welcome to Porsche ownership.

... or they were already sanctimonious douchebags, and this just happens to be the perfect brand to self identify around.

Cripes at least it has SOME sort of personality. It’s refreshing to see the option for color at all.

This. For example, I’m pretty sure military spending isn’t being reduced by 33%

Thank you for cutting that “is it a targa” argument off before it began 😑

Fantastic descriptive writing! I think it might be good to do two reviews: one TLDR what are the specs, how does it perform for the 1% of the time I’ll actually use it like that, and then this: a personal and subjective account of what it’s like when a real person lives with it in their actual life.

I heard that he got this one piece at a time, and it didn’t cost him a dime.

I’m saddened that an article like this is even relevant in 2017 😑

Alternate theory: yes.

Yeah this sounds like everyone involved was an asshole.

I think the first guy is saying “it’s boring on the street”, and you’re saying “you’re wrong it’s exciting on the track”.

It’s actually a hair slower in a straight line. But yeah we REALLY need to start talking power to weight. These hp stats are useless without weight to compare it to.

Oh come on man. If you want to play the armchair stats game, The 230i has:

You and me both. I’m waiting for the 30-40k Featherweight segment to appear again. Stuff like the s2k and Elise... or a beefed up Miata. That dream’s been dead for a decade in the US. Shame too because with current tech it would make for some fantastic cars.

Well, we’d get it, and then we’d complain it’s not bigger, and that it’s too noisy, and that it’s not powerful enough for the money, and then we’d all go out and buy 2 ton v8 Mustangs like we always fucking do.

I commute every day in a convertible manual in LA because it makes the dridgery of commute fun and engaging.

Pretty sure they realize this, and that they also realize that an enthusiast looking for an manual is also categorically NOT looking in the direction of middling cuvs.

Finally, the perfect car for Henry’s sixteenth birthday. He’s worked so hard at the Montessori school and deserves a nice starter car for driving to his sailing club practices.

Oh god all new cars are like a 1% derivation from a CRV 😑

I mean most serial killers start with cats, but this works too I guess.
