Don't be ignoring the Ts ;-) I've driven S, T and E of similar'ish vintage (close enough to be relevant). Honestly now, if money was not a factor (S are 2 to 3x more expensive) the one I'd get for everyday driving is the 2.4T (Ok, not a Euro 68T, I'll admit that's too close to a 912). It's fun most of the time, more torque, no muss no fuss. The S zings in the upper range, but you don't get to "zing" it every day without getting pulled over... in an era of minivans that can trounce those cars, I would take whichever I could afford.. Heck I like 912s most of all despite the earlier joke - 80% of the fun for 20% of the price, as I call them... since those things are no longer the top of the pile anyway, they're plenty sufficient for fun drives....
I see asking prices for S models that make me wanna hug a 912.
