You sound like a version of me with deeper pockets. We have a Volkswagen eUp! as an EV, which is a lot of fun to drive and does all the inner city commute. Then I have a station wagon that I bought for 15000€ in almost new condition, which is used for all longer trips or cases when stuff needs to be transported. Sometimes I drive it on short trips only to not let it sit around for longer than two weeks. I would go for a PHEV, but currently I have other financial priorities.
> My next car is going to be a midlife crisis purchase, and I'm taking a pretty hard look at a manual transmission ICE.
That sounds like a Porsche 911 Carrera T, at least that would be my midlife crisis choice if I had the money.
- lagadu 3y agoGoing completely off-topic here but I have to ask: why spend that much for a Carrera T in a world the Cayman GTS 4.0 exists and is superior in virtually everything that matters for a sports car for significantly less?
- steelframe 3y agoFor me it would be AWD. I live in an area that gets a lot of rain, and I frequently travel through a mountain pass that gets snow in the winter.
- lagadu 3y agoAre you perhaps thinking of the Carrera 4? The T is RWD only.
- jansan 3y agoManual transmission and purism. I am not in the financial position to buy a Porsche, but if I was I would not go for the best power to price ratio, but for the car that gives me most joy.
- lagadu 3y agoI had to double check in case they removed it for MY 2024 but they didn't: the GTS comes stock with a manual, the PDK is an option that costs over 3k€. Regarding the joy, I get it but that's why I asked: the GTS comes with the 4.0 NA engine and incredible balance (though I haven't driven a 992 so I can't speak from experience there).
