Default 2011 C4S

im now at the end of my first month with my new to me C4S with PDK. This car is AMAZING. I’ve already rolled up about 2500 of the most enjoyable miles I’ve ever driven.

‘’I see the oil change interval is around 10k miles (15000 km). That seems a bit long to me?

the car came with about 15000 miles and had all the 6 year work done. It also has a CPO warranty etc.

‘’Anything to pay attention to?

Enjoy!

I would continue to pay attention to the speed limit!

Congrats on the car. Sounds like minimal worries, maximal enjoyment. How old are the tires?

Oil changes every 5K miles.

Tire life is dependent on alignment unless you don't drive much and they age out (do not drive on aged out tires).

Beyond that, get out and drive.

And post some pics.

I’m definitely going to do more oil changes than recommended. 5k miles is about 8k km.

This is really good advice and so easy to err on with a car that does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. I feel way more comfortable speeding in my Prius 20%+ over the limit and without a radar detector than I do going 5% over in the Porsche with the latest/greatest Uniden.

A few speeding tickets either way and insurance becomes a real mess.

Excellent. Sounds and looks like you got an ace car. Drive it like you stole it!
