Many Rennlist OCD sphincters puckering at the thought of leaving such a beautiful new car out in the elements!

Even as a tech, I don't see many 991's that I like, let alone pine over, and I am definitely not a fan of the new C4S wheels... This car is PERFECT! Great taste and choice!!!

Very nice. Should be easy to manage the lipstick smudges now. Your photos are amazing! I have never been a fan of the sunroof, until I saw this combination. The silver and glass roof really work well. Do you happen to know if there is any weight difference between the regular sunroof and the glass roof? Cheers.

If you got some 19" winter wheels, you could have some fun with studded Nokian Hakka 7's. Brilliant tire.

Those look hardcore. The snowfall is actually pretty mild in my area. The Michelin Alpin Pa4 are going on tomorrow. I like keeping the stock rims, save some coin ...

Depending upon sizes, the Alpin's may be the better choice. The difference in the cold weather compared to "M+S" or even snowflake tires is night and day. I had them on an '09 C4S and they were great, just not as aggressive as studs!

Anyway, unlike some others (Dunlop?) the Alpin stays reasonably cool when driven on dry roads in warm weather. The same is true for Nokian, which also perform flawlessly under a Mercedes GL. Anyway, there's a lot of fun to be had in a C4S with snow tires ... just remember that stopping distances are better, but still far longer than one might expect ... and it's all governed by the stopping distance of the car (and driver judgement and reaction time) behind you ... : |

ps. I don't think that options list on a new C4S rides the same bus to school as the expression "saving coin"

pps. I should mention the downside to studs is that passersby will alert you to the "terrible noise your car is making!" and the studs can scratch your driveway if your wife tends to make turns with her foot on the brake instead of letting the car roll so the tire releases from the ground ... not that I would accuse anyone of having such a wife, I've just heard that it can happen ...

WOW !! Your car is absolutely GORGEOUS ! It has all the right options and is really a head turner ! I too am considering the Platinum Silver, glass sunroof and sport techno wheels but with Espresso interior. Please post your comments on the driving characteristics and in particular the manual transmission, which I am now seriously considering over the PDK .
