Yeah that works too, but I don't like driving trucks. I'd rather have a large CUV that drives more like a car, or a minivan.

I'd absolutely prefer a station wagon to a CUV. But those aren't really a thing anymore.

Surely you’re joking? A Toyota Camry has 15.4 cubic feet of cargo space. A Toyota Highlander, a vehicle built on the same platform as the Camry, has 42 cubic feet behind the second row, and when the second row is not carrying passengers you have 84 cubic feet of space.

It's not even close. I think you're not comparing

By "micro CUVs" do you mean like Honda HR-V sized ones? Yeah those aren't extra useful. CR-V sized ones aren't so bad though.

A CR-V for a family of 4 or 5??? Yeah no.... give me a minivan. At a minimum I want a large CUV for that many people.

Packing for a road trip with a single tiny child is a nightmare, I never quite understood exactly how much stuff we needed to bring until I had to do it. Our Camry was absolutely maxed out with just

Interior space. As Ducky said, they’re just really big hatchbacks which make them exceptionally flexible.

If all you need is a vehicle for moving people, and people only, over short distances then yeah, sedans are fine. But even with one kid having that extra interior space makes things so much easier if you’re leaving

1. Well.... SUVs are better family vehicles than sedans. The extra interior space makes many things far easier.

This car is local to me and I’ve had a close look at it. In person it looks fine for the price. The owner has been trying to get rid of it for many months now.

Keep your sexual deviancy to yourself. This is an auto enthusiast site, not a 50 Shades of Grey forum.

Certainly, and that’s what it typically comes down to. I suppose I should have been more specific with my question..... if you drive this car in anger does it have some of the “AMG Black” brutality baked into it?

What’s the point of comparing an apple to an apple? They’re both apples, end of discussion.

I’m coming from the point of view that I enjoy a wide variety of vehicles. I chose the 911 Turbo because they both cost basically the same thing and if I were to go shopping for one I’d go look at the other to see what I’d be

Go away, dickbag.

So why does every conversation comparing cars have to be surrounding two exceedingly similar vehicles? Is there some unwritten rule where you’re only allowed to compare the Mustang GT to other RWD V-8 coupes? Yay, a Camaro vs. Mustang conversation, where we debate the pros and cons of two different vehicles that on

Man, aren’t you an asshole? I'm just a guy here who likes cars who's reading about cars and trying to talk about cars. If you don't like the question, please move along. Taking time out of your day to be a dickhole doesn't do anything for either of us.

Because I like cars? Do I have to actually explain why a car enthusiast is interested in cars?

So this isn't a car for someone who wants a sports car? By "wholly different" is it like the difference between a Toyota Sienna and an Aventador?

I’m not the type of person to purchase either, because I do not make enough money to handle a car of this price along with all my other responsibilities.

My hope was that you might expand upon how this car drives, particularly when compared to another similarly priced luxury product.

But thank you for your advice, but

Ignoring the drop top portion of this, what about how it drives would influence me to purchase this car over a 911 Turbo?

Screw socially acceptable. Drive what you want to drive. If that's an STI, rock it.

The brake actuated “e-diff” trickery isn’t so bad and IMO works surprisingly well. The benefit is that you get some enhanced traction without the drawback of the extra understeer a limited slip can introduce if you get too greedy with the throttle and blow out the tires. With the e-diff if you overwhelm the front
