Is it worse when cold?
Well its tighter than a Glaswegian accountant when its cold so I dont do much shifting and just stick to 1st and 3rd.However there is as still some no man's land going down from 4th to 3rd. I didn't expect a fluid change to help with this.
On a more positive note. I fitted the 987 Cayman seats yesterday and these are amazing. So much better. Best thing I have ever done to a car. I am sitting much lower. I can barely even see the bonnet. I have more room for my knees below the wheel. It almost feels like the steering wheel is too far away now. But because I didnt connect up the wiring to the rake adjustment I will have to keep it like this. I'm thinking Momo next and centre console delete. It now feels like a sports car. It didn't before.

Yes
And also further back.
So you sit In the seat more than On the seat.
That was a big selling point over the S2000 I was looking at before I got my 987 last year. Although had I known quite how high and fast S2K prices would rise in the last 18 months I might have put up with the teetering perches in it.And also further back.

Yup, agreed. It highlights one of the reasons Ive alays hung around this thread, yet I didnt buy an old 996 after selling my Boxster. That £22k 911 looks scruffier and tattier than my 140k miles Boxster that I sold for £2700. I just can't make the maths work in my head.
Particularly with that car, I think it wil be down to the 'trendy' spoiler and Fuchs wheels.

Sold in 2018. It had one year old suspension EVERYTHING. It was a bit cheaper than some, but for a private sale not a total loss. I was happy with the amount. If it was a 3.2 I might have kept it longer. I've had 3 more sportscars since then though. I'd love to keep them longer but theres just so much I want to try.
This >< close to a 996 a few times since but I've stuck with the small 2 seater jobbies.

Currently loving my new 986. Trying not to use it constantly so it still feels special. Have you driven any 996's?Sold in 2018. It had one year old suspension EVERYTHING.
