Do you remember how bad the roads got in Princeton a couple winters back? low profile wheels would be awful if that were to repeat itself. Have a 911 for the good parts of the year imo. Also, my butt gets sore in the 911 after about an hour and a half. But, i have the tartan cloth seats which are less comfortable than the normal leather ones.

I'm assuming you mean the Pepita (or houndstooth) seats, Grunty? Or do you have a retrofit of Porsche's many tartan plaid cloth seats from the sixties/seventies? If so I'd love to see pics!

6,000 miles since new, in about 3.5 months.

Not a single car issue. Great mileage. Tires still look newish.

Butt does get a little sore after a while. Also driver side left seat bolster seems like wearing faster than it should. Lastly, front of driver side door pocket pretty scuffed from my shoes touching it when I get in/out.

Teanbell - We didn't get much snow in Philly this winter. The two storms we did get I took the car out and with the Alpines mounted on the wheels and the C4 all wheel drive it was completely uneventful. No issues at all - car felt great. Only issue would be if the snow got too deep for the low front bumper. Im up to 23K miles - so 20,000 miles since last June. Its an awesome daily driver and I'm still doing 3 hours per day.
