Talking 2002 c4s--my favorite daily driver EVER! not only is the c4s fast and unflappable but

it is also very comfortable and easy to drive in rush hour even with a 6 speed. it's great to be able to slow occasionally to 45 mph in 6th gear and then just pull away!

the bose stereo is great. i even like the new cupholders and glovebox!

the utility of the sunroof should not be underrated--comfortable even at 100mph!

best of all is the way this puppy corners! i often go for weeks without lighting up the psm light, but it is very helpful under those rare circumstances.

at 5200 mi my p0assyms show only moderate wear maybe because of lots of freeway driving. i get 25-26 mpg on highway--16-18 mpg in town. oil still appears pristine on dipstick.

my only regret is i didn't come back into the 911 fold earlier!

i am a happy camper!! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

You lucky dog you!! I'm living vicariously through you...and my next door neighbor. He just bought a White/Black C4S and I salivate everytime I see it parked next to my Arctic Silver/Black C2.

One thing ignacio: are your rims brushed aluminum. I thought most C4S's have a Turbo-type shine (kinda light white), but his are definitely a darker more brushed look. Very sexy indeed. Just curious to know if this is standard.

Hope you have many happy miles more.

Regards.

Don't you hate it when people equivocate?


I concur with Ignacio, of course.

thanks for the info.
I plan to use mine as a daily driver, too (some rush hour traffic). So your post is encouraging.

She's in the States on a truck to finally meet me soon!

o-6

you are paying the price of getting a car to your exact specs. i'll bet you could get a c4s earlier if you take someone's cancelled order.

i had a '79 911 guards/full black leather -- GREAT color combo-- i missed that car since i sold it in 1983(bad move) until NOW. <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
