Ultimately the 996 is a great, world class supercar that can be bought now for pennies on the dollar. I don't fault anyone for wanting one. It is a bit more of a cruiser/straight line car than the Box but only you know your driving habits and desires.

As for bringing the kids in those rear seats? The only "kids" I know that ride back there comfortably are Yorkies and Poodles. Make sure you bring your girls to a test drive and really ask yourself if getting them in and out of the back seats is realistic. Someone once said the only reason Porsche added those faux rear seats was to qualify for lower insurance rates in Europe. I don't know if it is true. I only know my grandkids don't fit in em.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
