Phewee!! Conclusion: I must have a stick!

I just drove home from playing golf (in my M5) and realized I can't settle for any car without a stick. Now that I have finally made that decision, I need to pick my next daily driver. Question for all of you:

What is a realiable daily driver that has room for a set of clubs and a pull cart (folded), can do 5 sec or less 0-60, and has a stick and handles well?

I don't care how many doors it has.
Thanks, Dave.

Ah... ok. Is there enough room in the backseat of a 996TT for the golf clubs? If it is, I don't think you could find anything better.

Re: Phewee!! Conclusion: I must have a stick!

at this point, I can only think of the CTS-V. Perhaps the AMV8.

No many! I think you'll not find one with "all of the above" without compromise somewhere. Cadillac - how does that handle? The Porsche and the Aston V8 are probably too small.

You might like to give the SMG III a fair go before burying it.

Given A and B. You know you like A. B is an unknown. You cannot know that you will enjoy A more than B without data on B. Simple logic.
