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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm thinking of changing my 1 owner 981 Spyder for a 2016 low mileage 1 owner 991.2 Carrera 4S. Ideally, I'd like to have both but realistically this wouldn't be sensible. I only cover 3-4k miles a year in the Spyder during high days and holidays and European trips (it's SORN'd during winter) and the 4S would be used similarly as well as perhaps a bit more usage as a 2nd car. I feel I have done everything I want to with the Spyder and fancy a change. But never having driven a 991.2 4S before (although I did own and love a 997C2S) would it be a sensible move from a driving enjoyment and financial viewpoint compared to the Spyder?

POST 2Original post

I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing… I have a 2016 Spyder and was thinking about combining it and my daily BMW X3M into a 991.2 C4S but ultimately came to the conclusion that I’d really miss the Spyder for those sunny day blasts when it feels so special. I came from a 992.2 C4S and while I loved it the Spyder is in another league for driving enjoyment and I didn’t miss it. In an idea world I’d have a daily C4S and a high day Spyder! I looked at the grey manual C4S in Fulham which did look very tempting… and fwiw also a manual 991.2 T. PS - I asked exactly this question on this forum a few months ago: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... Edited by Billy_Whizzzz on Saturday 5th August 05:50
