The new models are extremely reliable and drivable but they have their place and you should consider that when deciding what to do. I would argue that they are not so much better than M cars in daily driver situations, in fact they may be inferior in most cases if your driving is in local traffic on local roads. While you can drive a base 911 or S/T/GTS anywhere, youre not gonna want to take it to the mall or grocery store or even a restaurant with valet parking as id never want someone else in my 911. However with a bmw, even Ms, you can take them and leave them anywhere without any thoughts and that is the difference from my point of view that should be considered. A 911 is a car you drive but not a car you park and leave on the street, whereas you can leave any bmw, whether my former M6 or recent M3 and not worry about. If you want a second car to drive and enjoy purely for driving, get a 911, if its gonna be your all around car, you'll probably be disappointed. Good luck

Thanks for your insight. Where do you park your Porsche then? I tip valets and they let me park it myself. Even with my M3.
But I have an M3CS as a daily. Porsche would be a weekend car. I'd still want to take it to the mall and take it around shopping and other stuff. I live in Texas so it'd be easy to open it up on the highways. There isn't much traffic in Austin during the hours I drive so I'm not worried about that.
