    Deciding against 997 Cab in favour of 997S

    I have been waiting for the Cab to be announced so that I can order a tip version. But now (maybe because the weather is getting cooler with the advent of autumn/fall) I am leaning towards a 997S.
    My reasoning is :
    a) Driving a stick is more fun than tip
    b) Cab can be a pain - extra maintenance, cleaning, road noise
    c) Coupe has better lines - more elegant
    d) I want Forest Green, and that would look weird with a black or blue soft top
    e) Coupe is enjoyable all year round, not just summer days. Soft top can be cold.
    f) Can crank up the A/C on a hot day in the coupe.
    g) Cab won't age as well as a coupe.
    h) The $10K saved on the cab pays for lots of leather etc. (Although I suspect PCCB at $8K is not worth it ?)
    g) More room in the back seats in a coupe ?

    Any strong opinions in favour of the cab, before I call my dealer to order the coupe ?

    Thanks !

    FASTER DELIVERY.

    Don't take too long deciding! I think you will find a rapidly expanding waiting list for the 997S. I just got mine last Friday but am told the current wait is close to six months from order. Not so with the non-S but you are making the right choice to go with the S and with stick, IMHO. Unless you will track it, I think the main advantage of PCCB is lack of brake dust!

    PS: Unless your kids are under 10, or your close friends midgets, the back seats won't be of much use either way, frankly.

    But I agree with all your points otherwise. What a wonderful car.

    go 997s ,its a toy , you will enjoy sporty driving much more than the cab ,and with the price difference, fill it with options!

    If you want an open top Porsche, buy a Boxster
