I’m a big Porsche guy as are my family and friends. For a newbie, I would not recommend an older 911 and generally anything older. Save those for your second or third Porsche. While there are great buys out there, pricing, models, condition can be deceptive. And worse, a service, rebuild or replacement part can be extraordinarily expensive. If you don’t “know a guy” or are personally performing the work, go new, or CPO.
A “comfortable” starter Porsche which will do everything well is a Macan but it must be spec’d at a GTS (sporty) or Turbo and above model to fully scratch the “Porsche itch” - it’s a quick and practical vehicle, more agile and sporty than a Cayenne and far more propane forgiving than a 911.
I do not recommend a 911 and certainly not any other two door variants If lower cars are difficult to enter and exist. Whoever is recommending a Boxster either hasn’t had one or completely missed the Original Post. Generally the boxter and cayman are not daily drivers, these are pure weekend sports cars, with minimal storage space but maximum road feel and experience.
Porsche makes reliable sporty vehicles, I’ve had a few now and they have been a pleasure to drive, very reliable and generally easy to own, especially with annual service. Different from our Lexus which seems to be in for whatever reason 2-3 times a year.
