Awesome machine. Only 2 issues:

1) With summer tyres on, not that great in the snow - especially on hills
2) Drinks fuel like nobody's business. 17mpg (UK) is on a good day. If you go to the local shops and don't exceed 30mph then you are looking at about 9 mpg!

I am thinking of changing to a 2011 Cayenne Turbo next year.

F150 or Mercedes ML, prior to those I had old Mercedes 300D that was a beast, but 0-60 mph in about a hour.

2010 Audi A8 L. Good car, but underpowered and windows don't keep out the wind noise like they should.

997TT wherever practically possible. Whilst ive other cars to drive I figure who am I saving the TT up for?..the next guy? Time goes so fast before you know it you find yourself trading up to the next one so why waste it by leaving it sit in the garage and driving a less sharper tool.

My 997TT, it's close to 56k Miles now, so since last July i've treated gently when i got an Audi S4, problem is, since i kept it in the garage and started using the Audi, I've been getting all kind of alerts, Low oil level, Cooler alert, breaks, airbags etc.

It's true when you use a sedan and get back to the Porsche you feel the comfort difference, but with the 997TT, It's a monster on wheels.

fellas, enjoy your rides as a DD, unless it's a Lamborghini, you don't want to mess up that clutch

997S Cab in fair weather (and it IS the Bay Area, CA). Almost always with the top down.
Prius if I need the HOV lane and/or I'm headed in to SF (or some other risky parking situation).

I'd say it's 2/3-1/3 Porsche to Prius.
