My wife looked at them and preferred the Mercedes GL & ML from a comfort and ergonomic perspective. She said it was more of a Man's SUV... Sounded great...

I've been with the PCA at track events and found them to be very nice. Not bad trunk space up front. Needs a fire extinguisher system for the mid-engine, but I think someone makes them.

I love these. Would be a great car for your wife, or anyone for that matter. What about a Boxster? Or does she not want a convertible?

It is my understanding that the "S" version adds to the fun factor by many times.

Cool car

Takes care

I own a 2009 C4 as my daily driver.........Last week I was given the chance to swap cars with a friend who had a 2009 Cayman. Compared to the C4, the Cayman is confortable, and most of all, very easy on the bottom end. You see, driving in NYC you cannot miss a pot hole if your life depended on it. The car was very responsive, with plenty of room, and I could not believe how soft the suspension was, compared to my car. Like night and day difference...... Personally, I believe it to be a great car.

I bought a 09 Boxster S as a daily driver and really like it. There is a turbo kit out for it that will get it to 485hp. :biggrin

I bought my wife a new Audi TT convertible and she loves it.

Jeeez - can't get anything by you Ralphie. :willy I was hoping to borrow her GT every once and a while by letting her drive "my" next car, (whatever that may end up being).... :biggrin
I sure wish I could swing another GT - :biggrin
Monica say's she really loves you! :bored

It is a car I highly recommend and not just for spouses, provided it is the "S". While its rep is either "girl's Porsche" or "poor man's 911", it is in my opinion not justified. I have the Boxster S which is basically the same car and the cost:fun ratio is off the charts.

I track mine regularly and the true beauty of it is that mere mortals can operate this car near the limit, beating the pants off more exotic cars having much more hp. Great fun. Needless to say, approaching the (albeit much lower) limit of this car is significantly easier than attempting to do so in the GT.

I lowered it slightly and punched the wheels out. John, have you made any engine mods?
