Now that electric cars that are relatively cheap have such fast acceleration the only reason to buy a car like a Porsche is for exactly this the old school cool feel.
- louthy 3y agoIt’s not the only reason, the driving experience is more than just acceleration. Disclaimer: I’m a biased 911 (992) driver - it’s easily one of the best driving experiences I’ve had in any car.
- rootusrootus 3y agoI've been shopping lately and my eye keeps coming back to a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0. I've always sorta wanted a 911, ever since I was a kid, but I'm just about in love with the 718.
- jacquesm 3y agoIf you don't have kids it's fantastic car. Even the 911 is not really a four seater but until kids are 10 or so it is manageable. Teenagers: not so much. Personal opinion: the 718 handles better than a 911 by a considerable margin.
- cirrus3 3y agoFast acceleration isn't the only reason people buy sports cars, and "old school feel" is a pretty reductive way to describe the other differences between a manual ICE Porsche and EVs.
- rootusrootus 3y agoI love my electric car, and it is stupid fast, but ... a Porsche is different. It makes you tingly and giggly to fling through the twisties. It's the kind of car that can give you an epiphany if you've only ever driven pedestrian cars your life. Like ... so this is what they mean by handling. My model 3 is only comparable in a straight line. It's awful by comparison if you want it to scoot through corners.
