Here’s the deal. 911’s don’t impress on test drives. They just don’t. It took me a couple of months to love my 997. The rear engine makes you nervous to push and find the limits of the car, because you’re never quite sure the point at which the dynamics will cause the car to bite back. There’s also a lightness to the steering feel, especially when accelerating out of a corner which can be unnerving. |
This post is a lot of red flags, IMO.
If you don't love the car after driving it, why are you buying it? For an enthusiast, it should be pretty obvious if the car excites you or not. This doesn't seem like the kind of thing I should have to talk myself into. Also, I shouldn't feel nervous to push the car. Shouldn't it instill confidence and have approachable performance? This is the inherent issue with RR vehicles -- they are tricky to drive at the limit.
Every car I've owned has left me with a smile at the end of the test drive.
