General Comments
Tried ALL known super cars and never had the Porsche on the RADAR. But one short drive was more than enough. Truly an everyday SuperCar. My wife drives it during the week and I have the fun at the weekend. The tiptronic gearbox is amazing, making acceleration feel relentless. The peace of mind that the build quality and comfort factor that you will get to your destination is unmeasurable. NO car can get you from A to B as quickly - ALL weathers as well... Try driving any other exotica at full tilt with the same confidence level that this car gives. But what always amazes me is the day to day acceleration from, say 40, to silly speeds - it is truly effortless. Never thought I would own a SuperCar like this that is so so usable. You've got to experience it at least once. I feel very lucky to have one in my garage.
