I don't know what happened to my previous post, but whatever.
Listen, you like your 8. You make good money. How much are you really going to get for your 8 that you bought used anyway. Keep the 8.
Look for a nice 1980's 911. An SC or Carrera. Maybe a Targa for that semi convertable feel. It will cost you less than $16000 if you take your time and find the right one. They hold their value. Insurance through Hagerty is around $300 a year with no deductible . If you need a back seat, take the 8. When you don't, drive the 911. Bored with one, take the other. I swap back and forth between my 1980 911SC targa and my Acura CL-Type S. Never a dull moment.
Just a thought.

I went through this for a while as well. Thought I had to have the E46 M3 ( tested drove, found it lifeless), Elise (not as wild as I expected), STi (other than sharper turn in, didn't feel all that different to me). Finally I decided to just keep the car and do the mods I had wanted all along but didn't cause I thought I wouldn't keep it that long. I also like not having car payments and personally nothing I looked at was as practical and as fun to drive. <shrug>

Given the cited needs/constraints, I stand by my suggestion. I would agree that it is actually FWD, which provides AWD on conditions-demand. Again, great bang for the buck (pricing/value).
The MS6 is a lead sled, way to heavy for what it is plus it's AWD is a joke. The car is really a FWD. I'd take the Legacy GT over it any day. The LGT will out perform a MS6 in just about every way. The only area the MS6 had was pricing. I also heard the MS6 had quality issues but do not have hard numbers on this so take it as hear-say.
