Anyone made this move. Went to look at a 991.1 Targa in the flesh today, lovely looking cars but haven’t driven one yet. It struck me on the way home its just a big sunroof! Does it really give an open air motoring feel?
Thoughts or experiences appreciated.

They’re stunning looking cars but I’ve read in reviews that the wind noise is extremely loud at relatively low speeds. Happy to be corrected on this if I’m wrong.

The great thing about the Cab is it’s relatively comfortable roof down at 80 for long periods and there seems very little disadvantage every day with the roof up either.
Yes Targa looks stunning but is it compromised with the roof open?
Test drive needed.

With the wind deflector up in my cab there’s very little noise even when pushing on. It’ll be interesting to hear how you get on with a test drive in the targa. Keep us posted. They do look the business though!
