  • Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Purchase Decision

    Hello everyone, I was actually already convinced to order the A6 Kombi as PlugIn Hybrid in the summer of 2020 until I was made aware by a friend of the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. I was yesterday at the test drive with a similar and must say I am simply back and forth from this car concerning processing, driving precision as well as switching transitions. So now I have configured this dream car and am not yet sure for example with the sports exhaust system . Is this worth the extra charge? What about the massage function has someone tried before? My dealer told me that he almost never sold the massage function… My configuration (Austria) is the following: WS94TC I am very grateful for any hints and tips, since I have not yet been in the Porsche world.

  • 996 Purchase in/around Munich

    Hello, bear me with the idea to buy me a 996 (after the Mopf) preferably in/around Munich. Are there sources here outside the PZ (free Porsche dealer or similar), from which one can get such a car with warranty seriously? Thank you Greetings Harlelujah

  • Now that the PDK is there with launch control, will ‘drivers’ soon die out?

    as they are almost already with F430 and Gallardo, discuss…

  • Quality Cayenne

    Moin. I’ve got so much trouble with my Volvo XC 90 that I’m thinking about getting rid of it and getting a Porsche Cayenne. What are the experiences of the Cayenne drivers here in MT? Are there many defects or is this a reliable car? As far as the coolness or customer friendliness of Porsche is concerned, I had to get together with them 6 years ago (then a boxer) and then I returned this boxer too… I just want to be in such trouble. I’m gonna go back to it, Greetings, Björn.

  • Porsche 944 or Saab 900 turbo16s

    Hello, I am planning a new purchase and am looking for a nice youngtimer, which is also suitable for everyday use and can still keep up with the acceleration on the road and on the motorway. In search of it, I noticed the Porsche 944 and the Saab 900turbo16s, which I like both visually, from the performance and also from the interior equipment. However, I am not quite sure which of the two I finally decide for The Porsche is often described as extremely reliable and durable, but the reperatures should go into the money properly, even if you try to make as much as possible yourself, is that true? Are the parts really so expensive? The Saab should also be very reliable, but you can hardly find specimens with less than 150,000km. As for spare parts and reperatures, the Saab should not be cheap either. The technology at the Saab is also not anz so simple, just because of the idiosyncratic motor/gear unit, which is often called not exactly screw-friendly. What tips can you give me to make the decision easier?

  • Searched for summer tire tips

    Now that winter is coming, I’m thinking about buying summer tyres (does it make sense, or ? ).What I need: – 225/40/18 92Y ZR front – 295/30/18 98Y ZR rear – top speed lt. car bill 305 km/h Up to now, three types are on my checklist: – Pirelli Zero Rosso – Bridgestone Potenza S-02A – Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 I’ve already researched the fact that the latter is VERY good. I wasn’t happy with the now disposed Pirelli Asimmetrico GAR. I don’t know anything about the bridgestone yet, but it is a recommendation of a VLN participant who is not named here. Alternatives ? – Continental SC I don’t want to have (bad experience) – Hankook does not give me wg. topspeed. Too bad, by the way, because the S1-Evo is REALLY good. With the normal Carrera it works perfectly AND is inexpensive! en: – *insertmotorpublicationtitlehere* test reports I don’t really trust about the way, so please don’t quote. – Put great value on good driving behaviour in wet weather, because here with us DAS weather prevails unfortunately. – However, if he creates the balancing act and offers reasonable grip on dry road (no racer), that’s all the better. – Abrasion, volume are not so important, but nevertheless of interest. I am now very grateful for all the experiences (!) of brand colleagues. With now winter Wheeled Greetings

  • Call CTR3

    Interesting article about the new call CTR3:http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/…/porsche_cayman.html The last sentence is particularly interesting, if only a rumor!!! Not content with the standard car’s performance, German firm RUF has created this modified model with 700bhp that can do 220mph. Called the CTR3, it follows in the tracks of the 911-based CTR and CTR2 models, and has a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine beneath its bespoke aluminum and carbon fiber body. The car costs £200,000 an d was launched at RUF’s factory in Bahrain. Rumour suggests the firm is considering leaving Germany completely to escape EU emissions laws – and that Porsche could follow suit! ******************************** Gruss, Mathis

  • CONSTRUCTION FEELINGS at the SITTING OF 997

    I am very angry about a design error at the seat of my 997: if you fold the backrest forward to reach the rear, the belt lock presses into the leather of the sidewall of the backrest. The leather is already damaged with both seats. It also does not help to drive the seat forward, because then the headrests hit on the roof. I have now pointed out at least 20 Porsche drivers to this error, all had already damaged seats, this but not It depends of course on how often the seats go back, but does not change the fact of the faulty construction. Of course I have claimed this annoying lack with Porsche (my car is year 02.2008 ) and got the following answer, literally: ” There are things about an automobile – so to speak between heaven and earth – which must not be changed, even if it comes to such unpleasant appearances as at the seats of your 911 Carrera. ” You really can’t deal with your customers any more arrogantly and unscathed. So: Porsche – Carrera 997 and 998 ( has the same mistake ) Driver: look up and complain to Porsche when the seat is damaged. Only this is the only way to move. The seat is manufactured by LEAR-corporation.

  • My new Carrera 996 4S

    Hello, of course I didn’t want to deprive you of the pictures of my new car. As I mentioned elsewhere, I have a lot on the highway and had such a good reason to convince my wife of the purchase of a Carrera 4S… The car is a dream, after many years of driving Audi I like Allrad anyway, even if the hardliners will scream out among the 911 drivers. I’m happy! Here are a few more technical data: 996 Carrera 4S Coupé EZ 1 1/002 indish red 59200 km 345 hp with factory performance increase 6-speed transmission with switching path reduction Xenon, sliding roof PCM, PSM with Navi and telephone, 6-speed CD changer full leather black, sports seats interior aluminum design sports exhaust system greetings

  • 911 4S Cabrio or Coupe?

    Hello, I’m just about to order my 911 and even after a long and multiple ride with both of them it’s hard to decide between convertible and Coupe. I think of the following: Advantage Cabrio: -does a lot of fun to open the roof quickly. That’s even worth it for short distances. -Laden is easier with an open roof – looks chic. I just like better than the Coupe. Restriction: If it’s really hot, I don’t like to drive open, even with long s The advantage Coupe (with sliding roof) – much more clearly (to the rear and sloping back): – quieter on the highway and in tunnels and in rain – more storage space – installation of ski carriers possible – claps less, looks more solid. – is probably also safer (there are experiences?) The Targa is not in question, by the way, since no ski carrier mounting is possible here and you can’t use the dop in the rear view mirror when the roof is open. So it looks a bit like a choice between reason and fun. I would be glad if there are people here who tell me their experiences and opinions. Thank you in advance and love greetings S4fun
