fwiw The dealer totaled my friends Cayman S, both the techs were hospitalized. Is that also what you are paying for when you get a Porsche? It doesn't matter what brand of car you buy, some dealers have immature people working there
Whoa. Please give more details, pictures?

If it doesn't have 3 pedals, then it's nowhere close to having the "human factor".

, though it looks like they fixed my primary complaint, which was the lack of fun factor for such a fast, competent car.

A friend of mine had a new GT-R for a few months recently. He had all kinds of problems from the ECU stranding him the first week to GPS issues that the dealer/Nissan couldn't solve. They bought it back from him.

I never left my Porsche dealer feeling too great about my experience. They were competent, but pricing was borderline rape. My BMW dealer's service dept. provides a much better experience, even when I pay for between-cycle oil changes.

I'd rather have an M3, or a Z06. Or a 911.

No, you would rather have some very very very used cars that are way way way out of warranty, say like some '80s supercars.

Why buy new underwear when used ones are still good and much cheaper?!
