Hi there. We're contemplating buying a used 2025 Q4 etron with the Sport Package. I was able to test drive the standard Q4 and thought the suspension was good overall, though the car leaned a fair bit in cornering. Unfortunately, there is no Q4 with sport package near me to test drive. Can anyone with the sport package comment on how the car is with it? Stiffer suspension and 21 inch wheels makes me think it would be too firm, especially for our pot-hole-ridden roads. Thanks!

First, I cannot fit in the Miata so please don't recommend that. I wish I could, but I can't.

So I'm 6'6" (2 m) and looking to spend at most $50,000 and hopefully a lot less on a fun weekend sports car that I can also occasionally take to the track. Would love it to be a convertible and to have a manual transmission. I live in a rural, hilly area in the US north with lots of great driving roads. So far, the following are on my list, probably in descending order of my interest:

- 996 or 997 Porsche 911 cabriolet

- 981Porsche Boxster (if I can fit)

- BMW m850i convertible

- Jaguar F Type R (if I can fit)

- newer Camaro SS 1LE or even non 1LE convertible

- Mustang GT Mach 1

- older BMW M3 convertible

- C6 Corvette (if I can fit)

- newer GR86 or BRZ

- Elantra N

Thoughts?

Hi there. I caught the Porsche bug when I drove some Porsches on track. I drove a 991 GT3 RS in Vegas on a tiny track and then a 992 GT3 at Spa Francorchamps. I also rode along in a 991 Turbo at the Nordschleife (and drove a Hyundai there, ha!). I've always bought BMWs (and before that Mazdas), but now that I'm better situated financially, I'm eager to get a Porsche as a second, fun summer car. I live in the US near the border with Canada, and there are basically no Porsches near me to try out. I've watched way too many YouTube videos and was hoping for some more personal opinions. What I would like is a convertible, manual Porsche I can fit somewhat comfortably in for preferably less than $50k that wont grenade itself when pushed hard (especially since I hope to track it occasionally). I've looked at 996, 997, 987, and 981 as the main suspects. As a proportional 6'6" fellow, I feel pretty pretty good about fitting in the 911s but not so good about the Boxsters---- though I think the 981 is really good looking. Thoughts? And is there such a thing as hiring someone to find the exact car to buy? I feel like I don't know what I'm looking out for outside of IMS and bore scoring... Thank you!

2026 EV9 Land here. I’ve noticed that the volume seems to be too loud on the radio. Like I have it set at 2 and that is enough most of the time. If I wanted to listen loud it would be like a 7 or something, but the max volume setting is much much higher than that (like at least 30 and probably 50). Is this normal? Sometimes I feel like the 1 setting is not low enough when baby is sleeping.

We're transferring out of our BMW i4 m50 lease because the car is too impractical for us, and we're considering the 2025 mach e GT Rally specifically because of the magna ride and tires that make sense for us up here in Vermont. How have people's experiences been with it? Car reviewers seem to love it.
