Originally looking for a coupe but found a suitably overpriced cab with low miles. Though I still prefer the look of the coupe I have to say I love the cab.
Nothing like driving on a nice twisty road in the summer with the top down.

Yes
It is my first preference in a sunny weekend

I will ask the other 3 members of my family to squeeze into it😝 If they want to go out

I thought I might want a cab until I test drove one, and realized it just wasn't for me. I can't quite explain it. The amazing rigidity and looks of the coupe are part of it. The cab is surprisingly rigid, too, but the coupe is just incredibly stiff. No squeaks or rattles, etc.

I'd take the cab over the coupe every day - the coupe looks sharper but I like the top down and my DD has a fixed roof already
Additionally, I'm quite sure the limits of a 996tt cab are farther out than mine...

I actually sold my convertible BMW Z3 M Roadster to make room in the garage for the 996TT coupe. Having had the ragtop for 6 years after giving up motorcycles, it didn't do for me what I thought it would. I always had that worry about someone slicing through the top, or the top malfunctioning. It was more headache than it was worth (for me).

I believe I read the Porsche designs the cab first, they don't think they make a cab out of a coupe. If the cab is rigid, the coupe is more so. I own a 2004 996tt cab. It's mint with a new top and hardtop. Tops are a small price to pay and not that big of a deal to me. I've also owned a triple black 930 and a triple black 911S so I have some familiarity with Porsche coupes.

I truly love the lines on the coupe, it's gorgeous and it's probably quieter. That being said, a coupe is a car, a cab is a convertible/motorcycle/experience. I had a convertible SL600 and rarely put the top down but for some reason the cab's top comes down every time it can. Makes up for not having a motorcycle right now and non-Porschephiles like a cab better, it looks cooler. Cabs are not for everyone though.

I don't track it. I've owned several actual race cars and have no interest in driving one on the street. It may never see the track and the million other people who don't track are often the ones you won't hear from because they don't get on forums.

I use my cab as an open air GT daily driver. If you read the 2004 996tt press release, Porsche themselves advertised it as a GT as well as a sports car. My $.02 worth.

I don't really know what order Porsche designs models in...cabs are always later in the model introduction. I also came from a '78 930 and a '80 911SC Cab. The '04 996TT was the perfect combination for me. To each his own, so to speak. Oh to the OP, cab prices often depend on location and time of year...

Once spring fever bites people, the cabs go up in value and desire. There's nothing like dropping the top on those first warm days.
​​​​​​​Thats why I pulled mine off the market over the winter and will be advertising it soon. 80° today in California, and the rest of the country is soon to follow.
