Seems to be a lot of Porsche 911 guys on here. I've been considering one, but IDK, they're pretty expensive and then you have to park them half the year. I've had so many summer cars over the years that I just kinda get annoyed with storing them. Time flies so fast now, that it feels like you're always either pulling it out of storage or getting ready to put it into storage. If I had a three-car garage I wouldn't mind, but my wife and I like to park in the double heated garage in the winter, so that necessitates me storing my summer car elsewhere. Kills the fun a bit.
When my kids move out within the next couple years I will be getting a fun car since their two cars will be gone from in front of my house and I can park my truck there without looking like a junky house with too many cars. I've been thinking hard on the RS3 lately. I came close to buying an S3 a couple years ago - they're really comfortable for tall people. An RS3 seems that much more special and fun. I really don't see them around, though. I know there are always going to be the RWD or RWD-bias-or-die crowd, but that's not me.
What do you guys think of the RS3? Expensive car, but relative to a Porsche? Peanuts. Also flies under the radar to non-car people, which I like. Super annoyed they don't have cooled seats, but I could live with that. Also wouldn't need to store it for the winter...my F-150 will be my winter DD in bad weather, but we get such long mild stretches that I'd want to use the RS3 in the winter, too, versus a parked Porsche.
Obviously the 911 is more capable, but I just can't imagine being let down with the performance of the RS3. Or is a Porsche just that fkn special that I'd be denying myself by not getting it?
