After many many years with my 993, I am very tempted to consider trading up to a 996 Turbo... Are there any handy tips and/or advice that anyone could pass on to me please? I have seen a few at www.autobahn.co.uk but i dont really have a clue if there is any potential problem (i doubt it, as long as the car has been properly maintained?) Thanks for any input!

I had exactly the same thought about 6 months ago - spent a lot of time looking for the right car (there's no shortage but a lot of variety). The only thing was, in the end I couldn't actually part with my 993 for several reasons: - it just looks nicer - it sounds nicer - it feels better built - there are relatively few about - I know where I stand with depreciation and servicing The turbo is a great everyday car but in terms of character its not a patch on the 993. I finished up trading my audi for the turbo instead and its been great - refined, usable, reliable, air conditioning that works over 25 degrees, etc. with the added benefit/problem that you don't really have to put much effort in to go quickly. I haven't had any problems with it (but I did buy from an OPC just in case) and it even hits 30mpg on a motorway cruise. Its a great car and one that anyone can get into and drive but I don't look forward to a trip the same way I do with the 993. Charlie
Thanks Charlie! I also replied on the Turbo forum.
