I'm looking to replace my X5M and have quite a few fun cars i'm interested in. Just curious how you guys would rank these cars as a semi-daily driver. Would love to hear your reasoning as well. Thanks
As a daily driver 2014 pano turbo has impressed me
Started in 2015 with a Targa4S as a daily and fun car between parking blocks and standing out in the hospital parking lot and losing that special feeling as well as lack of car play targa retired to great drives
will take it to work or short schedule nice day where the top comes off and a nice long run home.
since then daily has been
AudiRS7 fast but lousy seats
bmw m5 C powerful but 2 lane road handling left something to desire
X5M wow that was something but you can’t drive an suv like a sports car
macan turbo. That was close but guess I’m not an suv guy
financially things changed so was looking for a less costly daily
looked at the pano turbo
found a well maintained low mileage one amazing depreciation
for a full size sedan it’s amazing and still behaves like the Porsches we have had.
always thought it was an ugly car but the view from the drivers seat is great
lots of compliments from people who know nothing about. Cars as well as those who do
excellent seats quiet a luxurious ride
piece of mind with a strong extended warranty.
Serves its role as a daily driver on Pirelli all seasons needed here in the Ozarks
Good storage to take to Costco
would consider a newer GTS with rear axle steering with burmester sound.
other strong contender BMW Alpina B7 or B8
also show significant depreciation. Original vs present style pano of a friend
I've had a 991.1 GTS and a 991.1 TTS, which my husband took over when I got my GTC, so we still have it.
Porsche's are amazing cars in every way. Solid build quality and reliability. The GTS sounded great and I added Borla exhaust which took it to another level. The GTS obviously isn't as fast as the TTS, but the rear wheel drive and sound gave it more soul that the TTS. The TTS is a more serious car. Super quick. Rear wheel steer is nice, if you like that kinda thing. Comfortable car for longer trips. Sound isn't as good for obvious reasons and we added the Sharkwerks to it which does help a bit.
The GTC is a totally different car. More raw than either of them. The sound is incredible. I feel more of a sense of occasion when I take the GTC out. Interior build quality definitely not as good. You've got the rear seats in the 911's for more storage. But the hatch area in the GTC is very large.
You cannot go wrong with a 911 or a GT. You just need to consider how you'll be using them. The 911 is easier to live with on a day to day basis, I think. None have been my daily.
Yeh, I love the GTC. But unfortunately, it doesn't have rear seats. And with three kids...seems kinda crazy for me to buy a car with no rear seats. Anyone have the new amg gt? Any thoughts on how it compares with these others?

Sorry about that! I clearly missed that you had to have rear seats. Makes sense. Although the rear seats in the 911 are almost useless 🤣

Ha "almost" is the key...you can get some little kids back there. And I think that's the same for the new two door GT.[/QUOTE]
You could....for a bit. I'm 5'2" and my head hits the roof if I sit back there. My husband is 6'3" and he has to have his seat all the way back to where it touches the rear seat behind. Zero leg room behind him.

Yes, I've had two 911's (991.2 and 992) so pretty familiar with those. Just more curious about the newer amg gt55/63 with rear seats. Anyone have one and can share their thoughts?
