Carrera 4S Cabriolet (997) Open Car

Dream car. Capable and looks the business in black.

Had a Boxster before and those are highly capable cars, this was a BIG jump up in power. And NOISE!

If you are going to buy, and if you have the means I'd highly recommend you do, then make sure you get these options:

+ Porsche Sports Exhaust, expensive to fit afterwards
+ Manual is becoming rare these days but is a delight to drive
+ PDK is great, but doesn't feel as connected to the car for me. If you do get it, then make sure you get sports chrono (not needed in the manual version). Plus, the flappy paddles are much better than the buttons.

I went for the 'Gen 1' version, never had any problems and personally prefer the looks over the Gen 2. Providing you let the engine warm up, treat them right, service and get oil changes then this will keep going like a rocket for you!
