if u want a more refined, modern air cooled car, 993 is your best bet. the turbo and 4S model being very very desirable cars.

they still have power steering, a/c and stuff modern cars should have.. but they are also quite un refined with control layouts.. such as the door handles, climate controls.. and a trademark, the pedals coming out of the floor.

otherwise, finding a well kept clean example, would be a good driver, as these cars are virtually bullet proof if driven every day and well looked after with regular maintenance.

the model before 993, the 964 is not bad. keeps the classic 911 look but with a much more cleaner looking body. they are problem prone however.. and quite costly to fix.

the pre 964 911's arent everyday drivers in today's standards. spartan interiors, manual steering, long throw gear box, and all the sorts of rawness that cars dont offer nowadays. theyre much lighter cars compared to the new cars, and are worlds nimbler and more thrilling to drive. makes owning a 911 feel.. "special" every drive would be a special ocassion. older cars provide feelings and sounds the new watercooled cars can never make.

pre 89' 911s are fine and are quite bullet proof if also well looked after.. some cars went over 500k kms without engine rebuilds.. they do leak some oil however.

if you want a 911, and have one that feels special, and keeps going up in value.. get an aircooled car. a 930 turbo, 911SC , 993 C4S, 993 Turbo are sure bets.
