Re: OFFICIAL: 911 R (2016)
Nick, you should try a lower powered car, maybe even one with a manual gearbox. You say these cars are too fast to really enjoy on the road...so cars that have a core competency of speed like a TT-S are not really going to help your situation. I can tell the joy of driving has been lost a bit for you. Maybe too much focus on performance? Though if you never want to go to the right environment, like a mountain road, maybe you are just done with sports cars.
If not, you need something light and involving to enjoy at lower speeds. If you can stomach the yoga required to get into an Alfa 4C and the attention it draws, I say give it a test drive. You will have fun at 50mph. Like a mini version of Ben's old Stradale. Or something front engined and lots of torque (AMG GTS).
Anyway, once you have tasted the best cars, maybe it is hard to step backwards into something less objectively capable. But I think that's exactly what you should do.
