…even for our grand-girls, ages 9 and 6, it's a little difficult for them getting in the rear bench, but once in there is plenty of room and they seem quite cozy.
I love both my P-cars, but the 911, non-turbo, is still a rocket !

For what it's worth my next daily will likely be a 997.2 (2009) coupe, preferably a C4S.

I'm not much of a BMW guy, they're nice cars though. I'd look at the new Mercedes C-Class (W205) if you're still interested in a sedan - they're pretty slick.

Of your choices, I'd go with the 911.

Big BMW fan, I've owned 6 over the last 15 years. They are very fun to drive, easy to maintain and work on - which I do myself. The BMW seems like more of a mobile office that I can alway depend on and the Porsche seems like more of a weekend toy. I really think an M3 is the best of both worlds. (running for cover)

Trimer, I'm still pissed at myself for not buying that 993 we spoke about over the phone. If it wasn't the twin of what I already have I would not of thought twice....

Why buy an Air Cooled 911?

BTW.....I hear Johnny Danger is seriously considering this example:
