I guess some things about a Porsche never change! Ive had Porsches most of my adult life and there‘s always been this list from owners about deep love and a bunch of daily annoyances.
I own both a Porsche and a Prius (don’t ask:) and I can tell you the service I get at the Prius dealership Is head and shoulders above what I get from my Porsche dealership and less all the snobbery that is sometimes part of being part of the Porsche world. Just very down to earth and genuine...
This is like asking which Greek island is better, Mykonos or Santorini. They are BOTH going to be superb and the differences between the 2 cars will seem meaningless over time. Just go for whats available and stop over thinking and over engineering the buying process.

I live in NJ and have been both a Mercedes and Porsche customer for years. My local NJ based mercedes dealership are simply order takers (if this is believable, someone once told me they move 400 cars/month!), so they have zero interest in discounting cars or offering attractive...

I was shopping for a couple cars just before COVID hit and now those dealers are hitting me with a barrage of daily emails and text messages about how much they’re willing to come down in price or offers of...
