My experience so far.
I thought I might just discuss some of the things that are on my mind so far as this is my first Porsche and because it is a new model, I thought there might be others that are experiencing the same...
I've noticed a few changes handling wise. On a long sweeping bend, the rear end can sometimes feel a little fidgety, almost like the rear end just wants to swing out. I never noticed it happening so much in the past. My tyres are fine with still plenty of grip and I check the air pressure all the time. It almost feels that the car has gone back to the days of the 993 with even the steering wheel wriggling in my hands. I actually sort of love it, but am a bit concerned that it's going to catch me out one of these days. I guess the other reason I am noticing this is because I'm getting more confident in her and as each day passes, I'm pushing even further. How far exactly can you go in this thing? It's almost though she is begging me push her just that much more.
Regarding the little problems, I've has the bonnet latch changed by the dealership even though I have not had the 'System Fault' message. This was done to resolve a problem with the car alarm which keeps going off. Needless to say, this has not resolved the problem, and the alarm is still going off so I can't park the car on street without having to disable it. Secondly, I had a small rattle in the passenger door (seemed to be the door bin vibrating). My OPC ripped apart the door to resolve it, but in the process have created an even bigger, thumping rattle. They delivered my car back with masses of grease all over the door opening as well which really annoyed me and guess what? In putting the door back together, they failed to connect the door handle mechanism, so I can't open the door from the inside. Utterly shocking really.
One last thing that I have noticed this weekend is that when driving the car hard, my Sports Adaptive seats are sometimes clunking, almost as though they are moving on their rails. I think there was a thread from someone else regarding this - anyone recall? or indeed, is anyone experiencing the same problem?. I'm actually going to hold off telling the dealer because I'm scared they will pull apart the seat and ruin it, so I'll see how bad this gets first..
Anyway, the car goes back tomorrow and I'm pretty sure I won't see her again all week. Anyone else having similar problems that are beggining to show? I must say that despite these little things and moans about my OPC, I love the car. She provides so much entertaiment and joy that none of these problems will detract from my intimate times with her and the excitement I have each morning when I glance at her sexy ass. I've never owned a car where upon getting behind the wheel each morning I loudly and proudly say "Good morning baby. How are you this morning?"
