Had my 996 C4 Cab for a week now, here are my first impressions:
Why do people buy Porsche to pose in? They are SPORTS CARS!
Handling is AMAZING!
Every journey is an adventure.
Low speed performance is disappointing, high speed performance is licence - losing!
Tip in auto is crap, Tip in switchable is great.
Fuel consumption is 20mpg, but very small fuel tank!
Roof is fab, up or down.
Interior build quality is laughable!!!
I WILL have a sports exhaust! (but which one?)

I'm in

Good to see you're enjoying the car. Concentrating on the negatives, I've got to agree on the petrol tank being too small. I think RHD tanks are 20 litres smaller than those fitted to LHD 996.

Yes, but also makes RHD cars lighter than their LHD equivalent (which can matter on track)

Interior build quality VERY questionable.
Its alive I tell you, it all moves and rattles (maybe its because its a cab?)
