Supra is a nice peace of kit but after owning one for 1.5 years now I'm thinking of smthng different for a change.
I must admit that speed & power is not everything....however still don't really want to downgrade in terms of power...but want something more luxury. Supra is nice car but we must admit it is 1993 technology and styling. However I'm not planning to sell Supe and already convienced my missus (fingers crossed) to have it instead of her coupe.
After carefull consideration the choice has been limited to 3 cars (well 4 cars but 3 marks):
- Merc SL55 AMG (black)
- Porsche 996 Turbo (coupe, tiptronic, black)
- Ferrari 360 F1 Modena (rosso corsa) or Ferrari 360 F1 Spider (grigio alloy)
Pros & cons:
Merc pros: cabrio but not fabric roof, price - can be picked up under £40k at the moment, reliability, power;
Cons: quite common, 2 seater only, Merc is not really a "drivers car"; maybe not really suitable for someone who is just 26 years old:d
996 Pros: maybe the quickest out of all 3 - deffo quicker than my TT under any circumstances , 4wd, practical (4 seater);
Cons: coupe - not convertable (cabrio looks terrible), very very common in my area especially bearing in mind very small difference between 25k ordinary 996 and 45k Turbo
360 Pros: it is Ferrari so you should own one once in the lifetime , imho one of the best exterior looking car in history, sound, presence, attention from public;
Cons: even good setup TT Supra could be quicker , running costs especially if smthg goes wrong, italian - so realibility could be poor, price, low nose for every day car in London
So what would be you thoughts, guys? What would you choose? I'm not doing more than 10k miles per annum including long trips abroad but will be using it as everyday car.
