The only more over-engineered than the Targa mechanism on a Porsche 911 is probably the cupholders.

I suggest riding in a Targa with the top “down” before you buy one. The wind buffeting, especially at higher speeds, which most think is worse than in a cab, bothers some people.

I heard this was a concern as well. Only 200 miles in to my ownership but hasn’t been a problem and haven’t noticed. Had the wife and kids in the car today. She has long hair, it was tied up but didn’t mention a word about it being too windy. I compare this to the RS with windows down which was very noticeable. I’m very impressed with the targa. Really is a fun car.

My wife has never complained about this....her closet would indicate on the "higher maintenance" side of the scale....
But yeah top down has more noise than top up.

Agree whole-heartedly about the smart top module.
I have a cab, its a wonderful mod, So cool and easy

I have had both the Cab and now the Targa. Hands down the Targa is the bomb. Driving with the top down is better than any session with a therapist LOL.
Agree the SmartTop is a no-brainer. One of the easiest mods.

Try adjusting the air deflector if you haven't already done so.

I felt this until I realized I could raise the buffeting bar. Once I did that there was no buffeting.

I also had the headliner tensioning cord break as reported in post #13 above. Car was 4.5 years old at the time with ~19K miles. Dealer took care of it under “goodwill” as I was out of warranty. I sold the car shortly thereafter, but it had nothing to do with the tensioning cord.

I will add that I never had any problems with the mechanical part of the targa operation. I think it’s over- engineered and that the Germans are proud of it. I mean, who else would paint the mechanicals to match the exterior color of the car if they weren’t confident in their work?
