I just thought the driving away shot was appropriate :p

Go for the 09 - they went to direct injection and also corrected an issue with the intermediate shaft (whatever that is) that can result in catastrophic engine failure. Every Porsche from the late 90s - 08 has this design.

Yep - I have an 08. No problems but it's one of those without warning engine go boom problems. No one knows how many are affected (well maybe Porsche does) but it appears to be a design flaw and if you search Porsche IMS failure you'll find plenty of stories.
