Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet S (2016) vs Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018): which should you buy?
The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet S (2016) is far superior for Filipino buyers seeking premium performance and luxury, priced at ₱13,500,000. Its 420 PS output and 7-speed PDK transmission make it the only vehicle here with rear-wheel-drive dynamics and a convertible body style, ideal for discerning owners valuing driving pleasure. The Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (₱4,258,000) serves as a practical alternative for families or those prioritizing space, offering 640 Nm torque and 4WD capability in a 2+3+3 seating configuration, though it lacks Porsche’s power and exclusivity. Given the discontinued status of the Porsche and the Expedition’s practicality, the Porsche is the better choice for enthusiasts, while the Ford remains ideal for daily utility.
