Go M6 GC or preowned 991 C4S?

krautmeister · 12-22-2017, 03:00 PM

So I have loved my F10 and even with a tune and the great sedan utility.... I can't seem scratch the itch for a sports car performance and my need for a baby hauler.

Would you go with a one car fits all or a sports car and a more modest daily?

I'd go for the one car that fits all. Between the two options, I'd go for the M6 any day.

Get a sports car. Meaning 911. Would not buy the GC in M form. a 640d may be.

Get a Panerama and you are set!

I was in same situation before purchasing F10 550i
With three small children F10 was best fit for me and my needs.
I couldn't be happier With my 550i

M6 GC wouldn’t fit well for a baby hauler. I put a car seat in the back of a 650i GC and it’s not practical.

I second the Panamera idea. Beats the 6 in every way!

Definitely on my shortlist.

Here's my issue. I like to mod cars and I really really want a car with an exhaust that makes me feel alive! BUT, recently I sorta ran into an embarrassing situation where I picked up my Chairman from the airport and my exhaust was a bit drony... and this guy even with all of the hundreds of millions he owns, is not a car guy! He just didn't understand why I liked it and I felt childish ?

A Panamera with the sport exhaust or any other car with active exhaust may not be "enough" so that's why I was entertaining 2 cars.... although I'm up to 5 cars in a city house as it is!

GC 6 if you have kids, 911 C4s if no kids!
I am thinking of switching to CG6 instead replacing my F10 with the new 5 series. when down to driving my 1st choice is my C4s.

There aren't many baby haulers that are going to scratch the sports car itch. I'm in favor of the 2 car solution.

I have my sights set on a C4S as well. I'm past the baby hauler stage, but I need a grownup car for work and winters. The 911 will be my summer indulgence to compliment to my F10.

Definitely 2 cars. Get a daily and a toy/fun/track car. Absolutely!
