  1. I have a Britax Roundabout in the back of my 996 C4S now. Works OK but the wife has to put her seat up a lot unless she wants my daughter's feet in her hair. Also, it's hard to secure the seat so that it moves less than 1 inch. I still have about 1.5 to 2 inches of play that I can't get rid of. I tried taking out the bottom seat but doesn't help much. I spent $300 even for the Porsche version of the Ricaro pictured. I have to wait till my daughter is 3.5 – 4 years old before I can use it though (only 6 more months!).
  2. hole in heart now filled by C4S

  3. In defense of dealers. I am not one, btw. I was in the market for a 996 and drove several over two years. Each was from 2000 to 2004 and they all had something wrong. The thought of buying a pig in a poke made me nervous since I don’t know much about Porsches mechanically. I was hesitant to buy any of them because I didn’t want any big surprise repair bills. I found a 2003 C4S at a dealer for about $1500-$2000 more than what I could find it in a private party sale except that mine came with a 2 year new car warranty. Long story short, it’s a good thing I had the warranty. Moral of the story: when buying a 7 year old car, it’s worth it to pay a bit more and get a new car warranty from a Porsche dealer.
  4. I bought a 2003 C4S this week. My first Porsche. Picked up the car last night and took it for a spin after dark. Didn't take long for someone to bow up to me. A new pimped out Mercedes. I guess you get used to that? I am looking forward to joining the Porsche Owners Club in town (Maverick). I feel like there is a lot to learn about the car besides just flooring it on the freeway on-ramp (which is fun, i am not knocking it!) My next challenge is to buy a booster seat for the kiddo. Thanks in advance for all the advice and knowledge sharing here on RennTech.
  5. Perfect information! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
