993 Porsche 1998

Agreed. I drove a 1995 993 for a couple of years. If you drive constantly on open highways, it's a dream car. If you have to commute like the rest of us working stiffs, it will eat itself. The car is engineered to run fast for long distances. Stop and go traffic eats up the brakes, rotors and clutch, not to mention never getting beyond 3rd or 4th gear. Unless you have a good buddy who is a Porsche mechanic, repairs are absurdly expensive, and no, you can't do them yourself.

The car's cabin is MUCH noisier than the Z, and uncomfortable for the passenger. My wife hated everything about it.

That said, it was a pretty freakin' awesome machine to drive, but only under the right conditions. If you have a lot of $$$, and this can be a second or third car to drive occasionally, go for it. It's just not reliable daily transportation.
