Worst $24k ever spent / 991 lease 2yr review
#91
Saw them at a Cars and Coffee on a black C4S from NJ. Looks stock....just better (Think of it as a 10mm spacer) The gentleman raved about the smoother and quieter ride.
We didn't have our car so I couldn't do a side-by-side.

I like the Z4. But it's not a Porsche.
Me personally, I wouldn't take a Z4 at a 50% discount.
I really thought I'd miss the 911 and regret this move, but I don't. I really wanted to like that car, it just never happened.
Bite your tongue! Mine has a proper transmission and all three pedals.
But I don't really care for the Boxster, so it never became a consideration. Maybe down the road when the 981s get some age on them, I'll pick up a used one. Those suckers really depreciate badly.
So, if I had to recap my experience with my 991 C2S after a year like the OP did, I would say:
- fit and finish on the car was excellent
- performance just got better as the car got more miles on it
- I did experience the surging issue that some have reported, but it seemed to have gotten better over time
- I wish there was an option to get all-season tires from the factory, because I am not a fan of those Pirelli summer tires
- I would have preferred the old 6-speed transmission
- I missed the more direct, hydraulic steering of the older cars
- the 14-way seats fit me just fine and worked well for me
- no electrical gremlins and only one brief PCM issue (reboot fixed)
- I received lots of compliments on the car (Amaranth Red)
- I choose my interior colors poorly (Agate Grey/Pebble Grey dual leather)
- I wish the exhaust sounded better without having to buy PSE
I had other issues that had to do with me, not the car, that I won't list here, that motivated me to sell it.
