Anyone got a 997 Targa?

[craigjm]

I was at my OPC the other day having my CS PDK serviced for the first time and they had a Targa in the showroom. I like the idea of a kind of semi convertible as I would never want a car with a fabric roof. What are they like to live with? did you regret buying it thinking in the end its just a big sunroof? do they shake at all like convertibles? might be interested if they make one in the 991

Ant reason for this (where you park for instance?) as driving you don't notice the fabric roof generating annoying wind noise, they are very solid in fact.

couple of reasons -

I tend to find they don't do the styling justice in many cases

and moe importantly

I had one, and the only faults I would say are the targa takes headroom away from the rear passengers, almost impossible to see out of the rear view mirror with the targa down.

But this is easily offset by the light it lets in, the fact that the roof opens wide, and the 'hatchback' was used every day and proved very very handy.

No scuttle shake at all.

Im not fussed about rear headroom, It looks like Targa's are not that popular in the UK though, i wonder if they will do a Targa in the 991
