Im not an impulse buyer, i looked at porsche boxster, the 3 and 5 series bmw's , jag sedan and ske, rx8, 300's even a turbo 944 and i always wanted a 928, actually Passed on the xfr early on because of some consumer reiviews of a "harsh ride" and "not good for long trips" posts. UNTIL i drove one....wow for the used car market at least, for the features, handling, performance, price...style and usually very low mileage for the year, i just cant say enough about this car. My wife whom i almost bought a pristine 944s2 cabriolet, till we drove it (had a bad wobble), said she was amazed how smooth it was. Happy xfr owner.."ahem" ...."cough" right up until i need tires
