Thanks for the replies - it's very difficult. Others I've spoken to have said you should have a 911 at some point but interestingly these are people who've never had one themselves. If I was comparing my old D2 S8 the choice would have been a lot easier but the D3 one hell of a formidable car. I regularly have a two hour cross-country journey and the Porsche would be great fun but as you've said I'm not sure how I would cope with the ride, noise and relative discomfort when not being driven enthusiastically.
The "Q car" status of the S8 also seems to be both it's greatest strength and weakness. Pretty much everyone rates the Porsche but only a select few (generally A/S owners) appreciate the car's qualities.
