Hey all,

New car in the household - 997 Carrera 4 Cabriolet in GT Silver / Cocoa leather interior.

We previously had a 996 Carrera, which was a great car, but this is just SUCH a better car, in every aspect!!

Cheers,
Daniel

How is the tiptronic?

I was looking at these last week and the dealer said they now sell more manual than tip.

Thanks for the comments guys!!

Mantronic - Tiptronic is better than on the 996, but its still tiptronic

(if it was up to me, it would have been a manual) I havent driven it yet, but as a passenger u can tell that there is a delay when changes are made...im taking it for a spin later in the week when i have some time off work, so will let u know how it goes. Difference to the 996 is that u can override with tiptronic without actually putting it into tiptronic mode...

Sergio - Parents arent big on spoiling us...mum wanted me to have a safe car, but nothing to get me into too much trouble...thats what i got, and im happy with it.....for now

Manga + Tazza - yeh weather isnt great down here, but bar the rain, u can still get away with the top down....even when its cold out, u can have the roof down, windows up, wind deflector up and the heater on...u wouldnt even know its cold outside!! Plus when summer hits, itll be awesome!!

Cheers,
Daniel
