yep, when i moved back to belgium i got a 2008 bmw118D company car, RWD 136bhp and about 300nm torque and a fuel card paid by the boss
There was no point in keeping my 88 944S, and pay silly taxes and fuel on it as just a weekend car it felt a little bit rawer as it revved much higher..
But there was nothing the 944S could do that the 118D didn't do better, apart from the Vmax on the autobahn, but that really was the only thing...Handling, the BMW was just as good
And that was just an entry level diesel BMW 1 series
Obviously next boss gave me a Merc FWD A series automatic, which was a boring little chitbox. By then I had bought my house, paid off 9 years and a Porsche was in order
At that point the choice between a 25-30 year old 944S or S2 vs a 10 year old Cayman, at pretty much similar pricepoint was a no brainer, always get the newest one you can afford. and 6 banger is more fun then a 4 banger. song vs noise
