I'm toying with a 993 (whilst the kids are still young enough to fit in the back).

I have narrowed it down to either a 993 c4s or a TT. Although I expect that the servicing and running costs of a TT will put this option out of the window. Any advice there is appreciated.

I think the wide body look is superb but have no experience in this market. If anybody is in the Oxfordshire area and wouldn't mind a quick 10min chat and look round I would be most grateful.

All the best,

Mark.

The prices of the 4s and TT are not disimilar as time goes on, so you could potentially get either.

I don't know the running costs of the 4s, but the turbo shouldn't be leagues different, apart from increased fuel consumption.

Looks wise its personal taste, some (like me) love the be-winged look of the turbo, though the 4s is seen as the purer shape by many....with no fixed wings and turbo body.

Regards the driving experience it is down to personal preference and taste, the turbo is a total monster though the 4s may (?) give a more rewarding drive from reading tests. Best to drive both.

Cannot help on the nose around, maybe someone else could help?

Faced same dilemma earlier in year and now have a smart 993 C4S and live in South Oxon.

Email me off line and we can arrange something.

Don't know what you call enormous running costs but my TT does 18mpg around town, 25 mpg on A / M road commute. 29mpg on a 70mph cruise and 35mpg on a 60mph cruise (way back from the track for example).

Doesn't eat tyres, brakes or anything else and I have been trying! Infact, it's like running a fresh air car compared to my old 964!

Oh, and with a will, you'll get a TT for the same money as a 4S. I got my car last september for £40K from a dealer!

Thanks all. I must admit to being a tad confused price wise. You are quite right that you can find c4s and TT's at the same price.

Ian YHM, thanks.
