The point was: why get a C4 non-S cabrio unless you don't care about sport.

And if so, then that's totally fine. Isn't that what the reviews say about the Targa 4?

Lacks some of the rigidity and higher center of gravity, but fine for the people who aren't fanatical about performance or handling.

 

What you armchair quarterbacks don't realize or can't accept is that most people who can afford cars like this didn't get the means to purchase them by being stupid. Your priorities don't necessarily equal theirs, and they probably have perfectly valid reasons for their decisions. If these cars don't fill a need in the market, they probably wouldn't have a very long production run.

I wouldn't buy a C4 Cab, but won't 2nd guess the purchase rationale of those who do.

 

But...but...if everyone here felt that way it would signal the end of S2KI forums.....

 

Believe it or not, it's quite possible to discuss the pros and cons of a car w/o putting down the people who bought them...

probably thinking about what he should do with the $30K he saved...

 

 

Or wondering how his friend is going to get the R8's top to go down.

 

Great choice, I think that is a brilliant DD, very much a jack-of-all trades-- top down sports car on sunny days, comfortable AWD-stability on crappy days.

 

nice car, don't want silver again, don't want 4 wheel drive but the car is a dream for me, someday i will own another porsche, mean time i have two cars for less than the 911 cost and enjoy them both. guess i would rather have a tl and a s2000 than a 911! things change.
