900 miles on my Targa and its in the shop for a small creek or rattle when the stop is down. This is the second time its in for the same problem.......I hope they find it because I LOVE this model car....I have never driven it with the top on....always down!!!!!

2000 miles and no creaks for me. Also attended my first autoX last weekend and I found the targa to be surprisingly nimble and capable, but again my first event so take that with a grain of salt. Love this beast though, its a beauty in my eyes =)
Best,
Tom

My friend and his wife regularly AutoCross his 991 Targa. They are usually in the top 3 for their respective class. Just saying.

Personally, I think that the Targa is the most beautiful of the 991 range -- with exception on the regular GT3. Perfect car for daily driving, coupe and convertible rolled into 1. However, the silver hoop needs to be contested by a darker paint color to make it pop!

I was made aware of "noise" issue concerning the Targa reading the internet. I just sold my 991GT3 and had an interest in the Targa. I have owned many convertibles and coupes and the Targa was on my bucket list.
I went to my dealer and the salesman handed me keys to a new 2016 Targa and said bring it back with some gas in it. I was gone for more than an hour. I drove it with the top up and top down listening for noise. There was highway driving and stop and go driving. Not once did I hear noise related to the top.
I found the Targa a blast to drive. It isn't a GT3 but few cars are. But I enjoyed the driving as much as the GT3. I like the half top feel and without a doubt at least to me the best looking 911 on the market today. As far as attention, I got more in the Targa than the GT3.
When I returned the car, I ordered a 2017 Targa with an early August delivery.

A Targa is in my future for sure. And I am envious of those 911 drivers that have them - just not when on track
