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.

Greetings from another NW region Arctic Silver 996 4S. Always nice to hear some of the good side of owning a 996, especially the C4S. I struggled with buying this car (my second 911 in 30 years) because of some of the negative stories and trying to determine in my own mind what the real percentage rate of catastrophic failures was. In the end the C4S is just too good looking not to own and enjoy. Cheers!
Agreed!

Agreed! To be honest, I'm not actually a huge fan of the 996 styling unless it's a Turbo/C4S. The wide hips and updated headlights really make the car IMO.
That's what I want to hear - proper good news 996 stories. Way too many Eeyore type threads in this section of Rennlist. 996's are great cars and fantastic value - in fact the best values by miles in the Porsche universe!!
