Default Moved up in weight class 2015 Targa


I am on my 3rd Porsche first was a 2008 Cayman S manual, then fell in love with a 2014 Cayman S PDK, then without any notice or warning this Targa showed up in my life and I fell in lust. I saw it as I drove by the local dealer and it was a trade-in from a someone in town that took amazing care of it. More miles than I would have cared for but it is mint, 45,000 miles and I purchased winter wheels/tires from the buyer as well. Only regret I have is I should have sold my Cayman S myself as I never trade cars in but I took the easy way out. Due to the mileage, I leaned in and purchased 2 additional years off warranty. Upgrades that this car has are full leather, 18-way seats, and as you can see Ceramics. At this point I am only showing off this stud but have 2 quick questions: I bought this with very little research purely on emotion, any watch outs? Anything I need to know? Also stupid question how do you clean the darn back window on the inside?

Sweet looking targa. As for cleaning the inside of rear window, use the rear lid retractor button on the drivers side door sill to move rear section to it furthest position to the rear. Then lean in from the side of the car and practice your best contortionist moves.

^^^^ This...I also bought this window cleaning wand (made for autos) to get into the nooks...you still have to get pretty bendy & flexible though...and inevitably, you will finish, close everything up, and see a streak you missed.

I bought something similar to this...don't remember where...the only difference is that mine is all plastic...and the handle doesn't telescope (I don't know if that is good or bad as I have never needed anything longer than what I have).

Beauiful Targa! I have had mine now for about 21 months and loved it every time diving it (about 16K miles). Mine only had 700 miles on it when I bought it, but it is now getting proper use! In my mind the best looking 991 and a blast to drive - you will love it! Yes, the back window is a pain to clean and if you have heated/cooled seats, they are as well with the dust etc. that will get into the car (same for convertibles).

Luckily my wife has long arms so my rear window is spotless & streak free. But getting in the back seat with one knee on the center console and reaching back allows her to get every square inch, with me directing from outside.

Not much to see, sorry, and she needs help getting in but once in she does not slide around while cleaning:

Dark body with silver targa bar and silver wheels is the best color combo! Well done!
