Porsche Cayenne VS GT86 - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

You're 18, not sure whether or not this happens in Saudi Arabia, but if I saw an 18yo driving around in a Porsche Cayenne I'd immediately think he's a rich, spoilt little boy with everything laid out for him in his life.. but that's just how it works in my society.

REGARDLESS, at the age of 18, I'd really think that you'd want a sports car more than a luxury SUV right?

ya you are right. BTW most 18 year olds hear drive those kinds of cars. like BMW 7 series, porsche cayenne turbo and stuff like that, but not like them i actually want to enjoy driving.

OP clearly the GT86.

And Saudi Arabia because... well I'm going to stereo type here since I do it to @Guff all the time. Probably owns oil. 50k USD. POCKET CHANGE. :P

Jokes aside. Pick up the 86. Have fun in YOUR car. If some guy pulls up with his chromed out ferrari just start doing circles around him. lol

hahahahahaaha

86.
it's fun as hell... and (I'm not sure if this would happen in SA) it turns heads. Usually if I see the porsche I don't look twice, an 86 however I stare quite a bit (even at my own). But hey that's just me.

and the whole "practicality" argument is crap. if your friends REALLY want a ride (and believe me they will) they'll suck it up and squeeze the back... it's not impossible to sit back there. It is absurdly uncomfortable though...

I swung down to babies r us to pick up a friends baby shower gift, a stroller.. The box didn't fit in the car, and it wasn't all that big.. Yeah practicality lol

Hmmm, one of the best handling sports cars in decades or a [s]Porsche SUV[/s] Volkswagen platform with a VW engine with a Porsche badge slapped on the rump?

Tough call here

ahhh, whoops. that reminds me... when I went to GReddy to pick up my intake the box BARELY fit in the car hahahaha.

I guess for what it is though (comparing it to other sports cars) it's pretty particle. I mean at least those seats are there if needed. I have a friend who has driven people in very odd ways in his Saturn Sky.

Cayenne is a better daily driver? Why on earth would you want to be stuck driving some giant heavy SUV unless you absolutely had to? Call me crazy, but I wouldn't call anything that large a pleasant daily driver and the cash you'll be dropping at both the gas station and the Porsche dealer for maintenance would have me picking the GT-86 in a heart beat.

Even though, I'm going for the gt86 (for sure now). GAS IS SO CHEAP HERE. I filled the porsche cayenne yesterday for $13. I fill my toyota corolla from empty to full for $6.50, and i always use the best kind of gas (there is a cheaper one)

Everyone in the world who has complained that gas prices in the USA are much lower, please see this guy's post.

Please don't drift it, you'll thank me later. Main reason is that if too many people drift the 86 in Saudi Arabia it will quickly get a bad name and anyone who drives it will be thought of as a drifter. Not to mention the graphic crashes.

lool i won't. I live in Eastern part of Saudi Arabia, which is close to Bahrain (30-45minutes away). They have open track days on a Formula 1 track
