Question guys...please give me your opinion.996tt or Cayenne T

i know i am comaring with apple and orange..if you have time to read my situation.give me some of ur opinion...then i will say"thanks alot" to you

i will considering purchase 2 cars after 3 months total about $90kwhen i come back from my vacation..
first thought combo...
2004 Cayenne S+ something..then 2 cars will be 50/50 each cost about $45k.(maybe an used 996 again!)

then i thought about.
2004 Cayenne Turbo.about $65k 20kmiles.black or white.+$25k mini
(i may not take this combo becuase i dont need a SUV with that much SUV,and the look of S or T with no much different.)

i chosed Cayenne because i need to pickup parents twice a year with my gf from airport.(with 2 big luggage.).parents only stay here for less than 1month each year.so i think SUV will be better for a 4door.

today i am start thinking if i just need a suv a few times. be honest with you guys.i dont really like the look of almost any SUV.i never thought about buying a SUV.

my girlfriend and i both like the look of 996tt or such sports car.sure ..more attention...i dont drive crazy ..the loking drag me to TT.

2002 996tt 20k miles...yellow or white about $70k...+$20k with a used SUV such as RX300...or something else..

before i was just stuck with Cayenne S or T...now..just came up 996TT..i almost cant go back to cayenne...
all advice will be welcome......
\
i posted 2 the same threads here and cayenne..dont know they aloow me or not..

996TT. More reliable, more sporty, more power (w/ mods), the best all around car (AWD). So many things, so little time.

Easy. If you want a SUV, get the Cayenne. If you want a sportscar, get the TT.

I say the same thing. People who see my turbo ALWAYS compliment the cool headlights before anything else.

you certainly dont need a turbo cayenne total waste of money for transporting parents. Get a used cayenne or cayS and if performance isnt an issue get a 996, really good deals now that the 997 is out. that way you have both.

I had the same decision to make before I bought my car. It was between a 2005 Cayenne Turbo and 2001 996TT. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, and what he told me was that I would regret getting the Cayenne if the 996TT was what I really wanted. Based on that conversation, I went ahead and bought the 996TT. It was the best decision I've ever made and I'm loving every second of it!!

The cayenne turbo is a monster suv. very nimble to drive considering its girth and weight disadvantages. Just as tuneable as any other turbo vehicle, but in the end its still a big SUV - but makes an awesome 'practical' daily driver. The 996TT is in another world and its basically the best 'driveable' daily supercar on the market. The choice is up to you.

i think 996TT for a dailly drive is so strange,.no one vote for CAYENNE ..thanks,,.
why no one say 996GT3 over 996TT..?which one resale better,or will have less depreciation(lets say 3 years 12k per year)...

I would not get a gt3 if you do not track it. Overkill of a car and you'll sacrifice a plusher ride and other necessity like a good stereo.

Consider a 06 RAV4 also. New car that is easy on gas.

if you don't need a SUV for everyday drive, why you want to spend most of your buget on it? Even you compare a Cayenne TT and 996TT, they both were Porsche with 2 turbo, but the fun factor is in different level. Get a smaller SUV or a wagon. I have a A4 Avant with my 996TT, It can carry luggages from airport or 4 people with 4 set of golf club. Im never a fan of driving SUV, I prefer somthing lower, smaller and easier on gas.

btw, if you hang around here with your 996TT, you will end up calling Taxi when your parents come, the reason is you will burn that 20K in mod. fast
