Just watched this and also read the comments (much more entertaining), its amazing they even ask the question "which would you rather have"
kind of like asking would you rather have $101,000 or $75,000? I am so sick of people comparing cars not even close in bracket. If your budget is a M3 you are NOT cross shopping ANY 911 even the base model and if you say well what if you option the BMW to $95,000 (possible I guess), its still $6,000 cheaper and you haven't put a single option on the Porsche, same options its probably $130,000. Smaller car (less practical, way less practical), much lighter weight (thanks to size) and a purpose built machine vs a high performance version of a mass market car... Now if the point is that you can get comparable performance for a lot less money then I get it, but all the reviews and even people on these forums saying "well a 911 is better" that's like saying a steak is better than a hamburger... Just like when you compare a Mustang to the M4, can it compete, sure, do they drive the same or have the same comfort level, built quality, NO, thats why M4 cost what it does. Best comparison video out there Now you may not agree with his final verdict, but its just an opinion based on what "he likes" while driving and you can tell from all his videos he likes smoother driving eco friendly vs sports cars (always recommends smallest engine), he still gave a very good review of it and a GREAT take on why you would pick one over the other.

If you don't think people aren't cross shopping $85k (which is closer to the real price of a commonly-optioned G8x, let's get real) BMW's with low-$100k Porsches, setting aside the 911 CPO market (which, you know, actually exists?) then you're not paying attention. The G80 is so far down the list of cars I would consider buying today it's not even funny and this is coming from someone who has owned tons of BMWs including a F80. |
