Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I’m hopefully about to buy one of these cars; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2023120846... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2023122250... Both lovely cars, the white 987 is particularly superb and genuinely as new looking Spec highlights for me, 987 has proper paddles, sports seats. 981 has Bose and electric seats I’ve driven both, 987 is sharper, 981 is a bit more grown up and slightly less shuddery. Silver one would need a steering wheel with proper paddles, so another £1k I’m genuinely 50/50 and would be grateful for any input please lol

I get it if sharing a car, but surely once set, for oneself, then are you in dire need to change seat position electronically? That said, though I am a 987boy, I have reservations about that 987 dealer, every car they sell has 'HUGE SPEC' when most of it is standard fittings anyway.

POST 4Original post

The 981 14-way seats have far more adjustment with base tilt and under thigh leg extension. But which car did you prefer when you drove each?

POST 5Original post

What will you use it for? Pottering around day to day stuff? Special occasions 2nd car so fun drives only?

POST 6Original post

981 looks to have been removed from AT - Sold? Even not seeing the advert a 981 would be my choice, the 987 look so dated from the sides (Spyder excluded)

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep - sold :-) Thanks for the opinions, all helped thanks
