Opinions please
« on: 02 October 2009, 03:30:10 »

Guys, I'd like to have your opinion please.

As some of you already know, I have a 2006 (actually it's the 2007 model) E93 330 beemer. I now kind of fancy something else (specially after TB's comments about rag top although this is a hard top convertible and the beemer being meant for hairdressers and gays  :D :P ). Anyway, I'm now considering to get a Porsche, and I think the 2009 Cayman S looks interesting. What do you say? Do I keep the beemer or do I go the Porsche way?  :-/

It's a real dilemma ... there are so many choices for sports cars around that I now do not know what to do. There's now a newish Aston Martin DB7 (2002 - 15K kilometers on the clock) for sale!  :D

Would an Aston be able to handle the desert??? I thought they were a bit shoddy to be honest, by far the best looking motor you've mentioned so far though!!!!!

The Porsche Gayman?

I think the name says it all really.

But seriously, a chap at work bought one brand new, had it 6 months, hated it, flogged it back to the dealers for a 4k loss, and now drives a 1990 944S2 with 135k on the clock and loves it!

I've got to be honest, I have driven both of his Porsches, and I do prefer the 944.
The Gayman leaves you feeling cold, and paranoid that it would be damaged by some little oik.
The 944 feels a lot more solid and durable.

Plus more stable and sure footed when giving it some stick.

Get a 911 Carerra4S!

Can't fault that in any way whatsoever.

(apart from the fact I cant afford one) :'(

I think they do get along well here in Bahrain though as i've seen quite a few of them in the middle east. But, be it Aston Martin or Porsche, they'll essentially be used for the week end only and then again, when there are no sand storms  ;)

I cant afford one too ... there's too big a difference in the price  :'( I'll try to get a second hand 911 Turbo, maybe from a totally different era  ::) :D :P

Which Porsche would you say Zulu? The new Cayman S or the 911 Turbo from an old generation (maybe 2000 / 2001)?  :-/

I would be into the Cayman as - to me -  it's more of a practical everyday ride.

The more exotic fare such as the 911, whilst up to the job, doesn't strike me as something you would want to use on an everyday/regular basis.
