Which Porsche? 2014 Carrera 4 or 2007 Turbo?
my wife won't argue with me over getting a new(er) car of my choice so long as it is all wheel drive, can seat 4, and is an automatic (in the event that she drives it). So with those criteria I settled on getting a 911.
I found the following cars:
2014 Carrera 4 with the PDK for $70,000 (factory warranty)
2007 Turbo with the tiptronic for $67,000 (no warranty)
my gut tells me I would be an idiot for not getting the turbo, but I've heard the tiptronic sucks. I used to drive a 1979 corvette with a 3 speed automatic (TH-350 tranny) and I had no complaints with that tranny so I'd imagine that an automatic made by Porsche that is nearly 30 years newer has to be better than that. Or is the 7 year newer Porsche that much better on most aspects )other than engine) that I should skip on the 2007 turbo?
