in my experience with eurocars it is actually more economical and less prone to breaking stuff if you use them on a regular basis rather than let them sit for weeks at a time.
Thanks. This'll be my first Porsche. I prefer buying new, but I'm definitely open to buying a pre-owned very low mileage 981 Cayman S or GTS for the NA flat-6. I haven't really heard much about the new turbo engines on the 982 aside from they're faster.

If it's P50K a year for regular maintenance, I think it's very reasonable for a sports car, let alone a Porsche. Friends have been pushing me to get a Nissan GTR for the same amount of money, but I heard the maintenance is much more stringent (and far more expensive). Also drove it once and I find it way too heavy and large. Straight line performance doesn't equal more fun for me. I actually have the most fun driving my tiny Suzuki Swift, especially on the Ternate-Nasugbu road in Batangas going to Pico De Loro.

Anyone else got input? Or other car suggestions?
