Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Now that these seem to be looking more reasonable financially I would be grateful for some feedback on living with one as a daily/semi-daily. Many get through owners rapidly-is this because there are plenty of people who just want to tick the box and move on (and were able to do so when values were very strong), or is it because many find them simply too fast/not enough fun on UK roads? Would welcome some views from owners and also if the front lift is a definite requirement as quite a few seem to do without? Currently in 992 base model so looking to go from one end of the range to the other..... All views/info welcome.

POST 2Original post

Do not need lift. You can buy with your eyes closed great cars and mind bendingly fast.

POST 3Original post

Epic cars all things considered. Compared to a base/S 992: - engine a little less fizzy and the limiter is set 500rpm earlier - but monstrous torque about 2500rpm, obvs. - steering nicer than base 992. A little weightier, perhaps because of the larger tyres. - you get RWS and PDCC which you may or may not have on your existing 992. - can feel a bit heavy in certain conditions - it’s a full 150kg more after all. - the brakes have epic power but can feel a little soft at the top of the travel. I think this comes from the 10-piston calipers as all the 6-pot ones i’ve used feel similar. Edited by arcamalpha on Wednesday 13th September 20:24

POST 4Original post

I've just gone from a 992 C4S to a 992 Turbo S cab, and I love it. I daily it, driven gently it is like a slumbering beast, but get your foot down and it becomes an angry beast. In gear acceleration and off the line is unbelievably quick, it never seems to lack power anywhere. Sounds better than my old one did, and is just a really nice place to be. I love it, wont be getting rid for a long while.
