Hello all!
I�m thinking of getting rid of my 99 m3 convertible to get into a 996 turbo. The m3 is going to be tough to let go as it has 28k miles on it and is about as clean as a 20 yr old car can be!
My daily is a 2013 Stage 2 s4 so I have a hardtop already but has anyone driven both and can compare the differences from the coupe to the cab?
Will I lose that much performance and stiffness by going to the cab?
Do the tops become problematic over time?
Thank you!
I've owned a cabriolet and so YES, like many 20 year of convertibles, they'll probably need service and in some cases new tops. Performance between the Porsche and BMW and/or Audi is like apples and oranges. You'll just need to drive one to fully understand. Words can not convey the performance of these cars.
This is of course a very personal decision but I LOVE having a cab! There is nothing like putting the top down and driving on any day. Even when it gets cool I put the seat heaters on windows up and rear wind deflector on the rear seats. I even keep a blanket so she can cover up and stay warm. The top is down as often as possible. There is nothing like hearing the roar of that engine behind you in a cab! As for stiffness, I would never admit that it makes me stiff... ;-}

driving with the sun in my face and hitting my head.
That's why I'm a Coupe with no sunroof, or the sunroof is only open at night, kinda of guy.
If I end up picking up a Boxster, I probably won't ever drive with the top down.
Maybe on a cloudy day I might try it.
