Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Just received my 996 C4S as my DD and couldn't be happier! I am a 993 owner too and I don't understand why this car doesn't get all the love that it deserved from our other fellow Porsche drivers.
I guess it is better for us, prices are still low and I don't think you can get a better car for the money nowadays. Just pure joy and such an amazing driving experience. One very happy new 996 owner here 😁😁
Congrats and welcome!
It doesn�t hurt that you have the best looking of the 996 models, in my opinion. Not to mention one of the best color combinations.
Saying the 996 is the worst 911 is like saying one is married to the ugliest Victoria Secret model.
I remember when the 911 SC and 3.2 Carreras were �not that special� and we�re pretty cheap. I know because I bought one. And it was like a lot of 911s I test drove at the time. They were all great. Still are today. And will be tomorrow.
I couldn't agree more - The C4S is truly one of the best 911's IMHO - I fell in love with mine from the moment I first seen it, fast forward 15 years and I love it just as much - Zero issues, Great Handling, AWD, What's not to love.
Nice pick up! I love everything about that car, well done. I'm a lil under a year w/ mine and I still smile every time i think about it, enjoy! Oh, and post up a pick of the 996 & 993 together some time
The more I read current/recent reviews or tests about the 996, it's mostly from people who DIDN'T want to like it when it was new and therefore didn't give it much credence as a 'real' 911 and therefore this myth that it's somehow not as good as the rest of the lineup was built. Only now are people seeing it for what it really is- a true and great 911! Total911 did a test vs. a 993 not too long ago and preferred the 996. Coming from such a 'manual+air cooled FOR LYFE' rag, that's quite surprising.
Not only that, it's the first 911 I fell in love with. Never cared for the 964 (except in Turbo guise) nor the 993 (really in any guise except maybe GT2 in speed yellow) so I'm happy to have one.
