Re: 997S Coupe vs Cab - Opinions please!
I have only had cabs for the past 30 years, mercedes sl, porsche993 cab and targa, Beemers, and now my new 997. I have had a few coupes in those years, jags, mercedes, cadillac, but nothing nothing nothing nothing is better than roof down, and 50 degrees with heated seats.
Re: 997S Coupe vs Cab - Opinions please!
Have had 997S coupe and now 997S cab.
Absolutely love both of them but probably prefer cab.
- stiffness is only slightly less.
- soft top roof watertight and superb when up. It is triple layered.
- although the coupe does look better as a shape overall, when the roof is down on cab and you have the wind deflector covering the rear seats etc that look a million dollars.

An opionion from someone who's had BOTH. Right on about the wind deflector
So many people have been surprised that my 997 S cab is a 4 seater. With the deflector in place it hides the rear seats and makes the car look like a 2 seat roadster! The cab. has so many different looks, it's like a few cars in one. I love the roof lines of the coupe better then the cab.'s when the top is up but when the top is down the cab looks so much cooler then the coupe.
As for handling I don't notice any less rigidity from my 996 Turbo. If I was on a track- maybe.
I won't go back to a coupe now after having experienced a Porsche convertible. The way a Porsche convertible feels vs the coupe when you're carving up a country road on a nice day is hard to explain in words.
