What Porsche model should I get?

This decision also lies with what you’d like to prioritize in a car, the style you’re going for, and the budget you have. But if you’re really not sure where to start, it’s always good to consider checking the classic models to get a feel for the brand and what features it can offer.

Is this brand really worth the money?

Of course, the immediate answer depends on your circumstances and how long you’re planning to use the same car.
