My dad just bought a Porsche about a month ago. It's an 06, since its the end of the year they gave him a great deal on it. He told me that Porsche makes some of the most reliable cars on the road and his gets 25mpg! You cant beat that.

I went out to his house a few weeks ago and took it for a spin, wow! Now I know what kind of car I want after I buy my house! His is just the standard Carrera convertible six speed. I really loved 2nd and 3rd gear. That thing just takes off and the handling is phenomenal! I also really liked the cockpit, it's a lot roomier than I imagined. I'm a big guy and have never really felt comfortable in midsized cars, my legs always feel like they're in the dash. And my shoulders always feel like they're against the door or right next to the passenger. I didn't get that feeling at all in the Porsche and you can fit your golf clubs in the backseat!

Those BMW 6 series are nice but imo these are two different types of cars. I'm not completely sold on the body style of those and I'm not sure about the gas mileage. BMW obviously makes a nice car but I'd go with the Porsche given the opportunity.
