Only thing you have to watch out for is the unending stream of hot women clawing your completely awesome car

Seriously though....nothing particular problems with the 07's that I'm aware of. There was a TSB on the VTG's (lubrication issue) which was or should have been quickly taken care of, esp if CPO'd.

I have 14,000 miles and zero problems. (hope i didn't jinx myself!) BTW, made the step up from an 06 C4S and never looked back, this car is lots of fun!

My 2007 Turbo has been absolutely bullet-proof - best car I've ever owned.

I just turned 16k miles on mine with no problems. It's going to champion next week for some upgrades and can not hardly stand the wait!

You want the sport chrono option. A little more boost at the press of a switch. Otherwise bullet proof.

Sounds like a very nice car! I wouldn't worry about the LSD, it's nice on the track but not necessary on the street. It's one of those fairly inexpensive options to order, but hard to retrofit.

gasman what does the lock do to the existing AWD and stability management because doesnt it lock in the rear wheels? i thought it was to gain traction when your back wheels are bouncing off the ground during a corner.

Looks like a great color combo...my must haves when shopping in July were:

CPO
6MT
<16k mls
Sport Chrono
Adaptive Sport Seats...heavy but nice
Rear axle lock (LSD)
Park Assist
Would have loved PCCB's and carbon bits but not deal breakers by any means.
