Do you have experience with Pcars? They are driver's cars. Let her drive yours while she researches it longer. I wouldn't get involved. Either way sounds she'll go for lots of Life Insurance these days
.
I don't think she needs one, wants one and I would have recommended a sedan and with Panamera still can keeping you in the marquee. That car is like an SUV next to a group of Caymans.

Oh BTW if you take her to the track to spectate chances are she will see some situations first hand. The cars albeit would be caged but there she can see more and not base it on marketing hype. She'll draw conclusions following her initial perusals.
The development of the 911 folows a long lineage, and much of it has been based on data collected on the track including racing.
All that said, will she settle for more assurances, the 997 has several passenger airbags.
Good luck.
