My wife needed something new, and she decided on a Toyota Highlander with all of the bells and whistles. It gets up and goes and I do like the modern gadgets, but I prefer to drive the 986 hands down. Of course, if you were thinking about the 996 Turbo, then it would be a very easy decision, at least for me  I tried to talk her into a Turbo but no luck  |
Yeah, my wife just got a new pilot with all the bells too... I work from home 95 percent. The other 5 is either driving to Tampa or car sits in an airport. I have two kids so back doors and seats are nice but one of them is almost old enough to sit up front now. I want something I can take to a car show but also take to pca events but also park at grocery store. The bimmer is nice though. I figured with manual tranny at least it is a little more sporty...and yes, a 996 turbo........YES please!
