I’ve seen a lot of Porsches in the Car Talk thread. Any recommendations for a newbie?

Now that every model has been suggested, care to give us more input?

Coupe, sedan, suv?

As for getting in/out, air suspension can help some on the lower stuff. The newer ones even have Comfort Entry.

I’ve checked boxes in the 911, Pany and Taycan spaces. If a 911 was in the conversation, I would be willing to sacrifice a lot to have one again. Tried the kid but the wife vetoed.
