993 turbo owner.

As a fan of quality old Mercs are still top of the line from my point of view but Porsches are also pretty well-built cars. Still way too much money for a car. There's nothing that burns money like cars do - especially a) expensive premium cars and b) cars that are either manufactured in England or Italy 😎 or c) even worse: both like Lambo or Jaguar for example. If you can afford driving those you better be rich so that you can afford the maintenance without having to make too much compromises at the expense of the more important things in life. Still cool cars though. Would have always wished to own a Countach one day but that's pretty far away, considering that you better take it to a mechanic every time before and after a ride and not to mention the regular super expensive maintenance that has to be done. Porsche probably is a very good compromise between quality, affordability, fun, value and style.

Yes. Since 1965.

Bang & Olufsen, Porsche, and Rimowa.

All good investments, although some models are certainly better than others.

for Germans who are so renowned for their brilliant efficiency the 911 has always seemed a conundrum to me

the engine's in the back where the luggage belongs , so at the front ? the spare tyre !!!??

I recommend this Porsche

Oh man, that Austrian accent is just absolutely beautiful! Love it!

To add to the conversation, I was really pondering getting a 944 (the only one I could really afford or motivate bar the ugly 924) although the dream car would be a Carrera 4S but time went by and now I have a one year old son and a 15 year old Volvo... I guess that's life. Perhaps in twenty years I'll get back to the Porsche idea. The Volvo is excellent btw, swallows any amount of stuff and runs like new, wouldn't trade it for a 2(ish)-seater at this stage.
