He quite likes the idea of the 993tt but is not sure about living with a lhd car for everyday use, and the potential running costs of the tt.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I'd get your mate to drive two identical cars (within reason) that are LHD and RHD. I drove 993 C4 in both flavours and personally i much prefer the driving experience proferred by the LHD car which is why i bought the left hook 993 C4S i now have. Steering and pedals are completely different. Other than that, choosing between a C4S and a TT is a tough one. Either way he's on to a winner! Good luck! VS

POST 2Original post

Hi VS....are you still potentially selling your fine machine ? How did things work out Turbo or USA ?

POST 3Original post

CS, Not sure, but i will know about USA by mid April. New financial year and all that. If i go to the US then i will sell the C4S in about May i guess, then when i get to the US i will buy a yank tank SUV or pickup (commuting, airport car-parks) and a 993TT (weekends). If i stay in the UK there may be a Ruf in my future... VS

POST 4Original post

All sounds good whatever the outcome mate....hope to catch up at a VW meet soon,,,all the best.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A friend of mine is looking to get back into Porsche ownership – he has owned several Porches in the past, including more recently a rhd 964 rs. Currently he owns a BMW e46 M3 convertible and a BMW e30 M3 cecotto for fun, both of which he is looking to sell. He has approx mid 30k to spend and wants a car for everyday use and the occasional track day, and is presently leaning towards a rhd 993 c4s. I suggested that he should also consider a lhd 993 tt. He quite likes the idea of the 993tt but is not sure about living with a lhd car for everyday use, and the potential running costs of the tt. Any other options, or thoughts would be much appreciated.
