Porsches. Would you consider one?

**midinite** · January 29th, 2007 10:50 AM

Okay. So we saw how people reacted to the Ferrari question. Now here is the question. Sure the Italian beauty is pretty high maintenance. What about the Teutonic pride - the Porsche. They are reportedly practical and reliable sportscars that make good daily drivers. But are they worth it because it has been also reported that they are expensive to maintain.

If you had the resources would you consider one? And why? or why not?

**nicolodeon** · January 29th, 2007 10:59 AM

IMO, unless a person has the moolah, any sports car could be hard to maintain.

If I had the resources, nope. I'm a practical kind of person. Besides, where in Metro Manila can one test the pure power of these beauties anyway? The NLEX and SLEX pretty much can't allow a speedster to go pedal to the metal due to traffic. However, I do agree that the "WOW!" "OHHH!" factors are present when driving this car. Pogi points baga. Even if you're not pogi, the car could make you one.

Yes I would, I'd get the 911 Turbo (if I had the money). Why? I love the lines, the fat tires, and oh yes the engine.

again I look forward to the day when I start complaining "Hay naku.. mahal ng piyesa ng porche, 2 pa naman binili ko tsk tsk tsk " hehehe

**ts1n1ta** · January 29th, 2007 11:26 AM

of course!!

**red_wagen** · January 29th, 2007 12:13 PM

Most definitely!

Although I can see it being very expensive to maintain back there. And the traffic...

Kung may money to burn.

The best IMHO.

**four-rings** · January 22nd, 2011 04:31 PM

yes but if im the President, i'd wait til my term is over before copping one.

**my_BMW** · February 17th, 2011 01:08 AM

Just to be realistic in the Phils doble ang price ng luxury cars so for me Porsche Cayman S ok na or kahit 911 non-turbo version. I will use it Fri-Sat-Sun then my BMW on Mon-Thurs sarap non. It would be perfect. Hopefully in 5 years time.

Even a Boxster will do for me....for my wife pala

**rome** · February 17th, 2011 02:40 PM

I never wanted to own one. That is until a superdeal came my way. It's starting to grow on me. The ride is just purely amazing.

The 911 Carrera has always been my dream car.

What general tips can you give to a first time buyer.

I want a 993. If i can find one at a decent price. But for a first porsche, am willing to try anything reasonable.

Maybe the closest i can get to a singer is buying one of their watches.
