I had a 997.2 GTS all picked out a few years back to replace my 335, and then we got pregnant with our second, so I had to go for the F80. Was incredibly surprised at not just how good it was overall, but how good the DCT performed. It's no PDK, but it did an admirable job, and was super fun to play with.
Got my wife into a Macan GTS, which is sublime. I don't know that I believe Porsches are "BMWs for grown ups", as the common sentiment goes, but I will say they are a notch above in almost every regard, save for engine and drivetrain design and performance.
The G8x is I'm sure a fine alternative to a 911 - 911 4S, just as my F80 was, but everyone should at least get to try out a PDK or manual 911. Perfect Porsche balance is no myth. It feels incredible imho
