Had a Gen 1 Turbo and have a Gen 2 C4S. For me, the latter is a much nicer car to drive. For some, saying they have a Turbo is a big plus, but unless you plan on turning it into a weapon, you have to live with a dull engine note.

I also think the C4S is a better looking car than the Turbo; the same body but without the fussy addenda.



As i'm not a long standing 'Porsche person', i liked the 4WD for the initial front end bite. It is a very nicely balanced car and it is no surprise it is faster than the 2S on track in the wet AND dry.

Goregeous and gorgeous!

Personally I'd go for the 2WD Carerra S, that ought to keep you on your toes in the wet biggrin

Its not as bad as it sounds, I hardly noticed the difference on the turbo.

For longer trips a roof-box does the job.

He must be. I've seen plenty at around £50k that definitely weren't CatD!

I love this picture. Here's my one in the same colour, with the same beautiful ass (in my view).

The Porsche car is a Turbo!

It makes me quite suspicious when people write that a Cat D car had "very minor" damage. Insurance companies write off £80k cars with very minor damage and sell them to the owner, do they? I genuinely don't know, but sounds unlikely.

+ 6 997.1tt mt I did it a few weeks ago and can't believe it, is amazing !!!! In fact have to wind the windows down under acceleration to hear the sound better, sound could be louder at lower revs, but is kinda nice being able to drive down some roads low key
