What car would you rather buy? E63s or 911 4s
« on: February 08, 2019, 06:36:47 pm »
Hi everyone,

Which of the following would you choose? 2017 Mercedes E63s 4matic+ or a Porsche 911 Carerra 4S model 991 (let's say the 2014) PDK.

What would you choose and why?

I would be driving each car in the winter (yes, with the best winter tires), my only concern is the Porsche could cause me headaches since it only first 1 other person, while I don't like the excessive depreciation of Mercedes (especially at that price range, it's even worse)

I really like the safety features of the Mercedes, including autonomous breaking and the Mercedes ME connectivity

Would really like to hear what your thoughts are! Thanks and have a great day!

Porsche.

Best combination of sport car perfection coupled with daily driver useability.
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Why not a nice used Porsche Panamera Turbo? You get the space and speed of the E63, the worst of the depreciation is done, and it's built like a Porsche.

Porsche because manual.  :skid:
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Merc, because you can get it as a wagon.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

Even though this was another spam post the answer comes down to what you value more. A sports car or a functional very spotty car. I'm in the later category.

Did not see that...oh well, a Porsche with a slushbox is still a better car than pretty well anything else on the road  ;D

The Porsche is significantly lighter than the MB IIRC....

Panamera wagon isn't bad looking IMO..

E63s is 0.2 to 100km than the Panamera.
