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.

If you can stretch to it, I'd go for the facelift car. It was better built inside, with a nice alcantara headlining (as have all 2001+m y cars), and the 3.6 has both more power and better economy (and sounds a bit fruitier too IMO). Possibly less susceptible to the dreaded RMS, but one gets conflicting reports. And of course the 3.6 has cupholders (LOL) What bodystyle/variant do you fancy? Migration info. Legacy thread was 32712
And it looks a bit less like a Boxster :wink: Migration info. Legacy thread was 32724

From the advice I got when i was looking, i would say definitely get a 3.6 over 3.4 if you can. I didn't drive a 3.4 but was told the 3.6 is more driveable and better built even if no performance advantage due to the extra weight. I think they are equally susceptible to RMS though unfortunately. IMHO the facelift looks a lot better and for re-sale it will probably be the better choice too. AND it has the glove box as well as cup holders :wink: Migration info. Legacy thread was 32786
Thanks, I was originally looking for a cab but I think I will definately go for the facelift which will probably mean that the cab will be out of my price range. Did see a good targa though and would consider, however, this was top price in a dealer. dave Migration info. Legacy thread was 32804
