Maybe I should look into getting the sports exhuast then. I mean, when I back the car out of my driveway there's a rattle. When I'm driving at low speeds and there's any imperfection I hear an annoying rattle. Going on the highway it sounds like is especially loud and aggravating with multiple noises coming from everywhere. I just wish I could get in the car and drive it and listen to the engine without constantly thinking about where the rattle is coming from.

My plan right now is get the rattles fixed even if it means making the service department my 2nd home. I've made it clear that the rattles are unacceptable and will continue bringing the car in until they are gone. If the rattles get worse or aren't ever fixed I'd absolutely consider selling it because of them. Right now I have another sports car and I find myself taking it over the 911 so I don't have to fight the rattles the whole trip. If I don't enjoy driving the car what's the point? I'd be open to anything except another Porsche.

 

 

I read that article. It is an interesting comparison but the two cars compete at different price points as the writer pointed out and his verdict was based on perceived value (according to him). If you can easily afford a 911, the article is irrelevant.
Regarding rattles and buzzing, vibrating sounds, my 4 month old 18 C4S, now with winter wheels and tires, has a few. The most noticebale is a buzzing, vibrating sound from the passenger side or behind. Sounds like a loose piece of plastic. With the 20 inch summer tires and the P zeros, the tire roar drowned out all sound except when driving on asphalt when the buzzing sound was evident. It is a sports car with a stiff suspension. In cold weather now, the interior creaks and groans but nothing to fret over. Mechanicals are sound.

 

It hasn't gotten to that point with me yet and I hope it never gets there because I love driving this car.

The rattle/squeak is coming from the front passenger side, probably gas tank related, will let the dealer sort it out if possible.

 

2012.5 C2 with sunroof, no rattles, PASM + HRE’s, X Pipe. Feels tank solid.

 

Mine rattles occasionally, will bring it in, in the Spring and unleash my best weapon upon the poor unsuspecting SA, THE WIFE!

We'll play good cop bad cop and put an end to the rattles.

 

You're lucky, my wife won't go near a Porsche dealership.

Maybe the rattle is PDK related...:

 

LMAOOOOOOO

Tse likes to crank his engine because he doesn't like technology!

 

^^^ What is that, a 2 speed?
