Got a go with 964 carrera 4
I never thoguht I would get my hands on such a, old car but it happened.
It looks really cool. You fell like some bad boy in that car.
First, the steering. I've never driven a car with such a heavy steering. I think there's no assistance at all. It's just you and the machine. It was really hard to turn. Compared to the 987, the boxster is a city car.
Then the pedals. My god there so hard to push. Ther are not like in recent cars. Both the break pedal and clutch are attached on the floor. On a more modern car, they are attached from above, under the dash. (I hope you understand) Makes a really weird drive because of that. I have small feet, and I had to get my foot up to brake correctly. If you don't, you're pushing the pedal way too low and the car doesn't brake at all. Really hard to explain in english. Sorry.
You basically have to push the pedal down, to the floor, instead of pushing it back like on an ordinary car. I had never seen anything like that.
The clutch was as difficult as the brake pedal. I actually wasn't very good with it. I don't how it's supposed to be used. All I know is that I had a burning smell wich wasn't good. I think, when you go into first, you must release the clutch fully instead of keeping it half pushed while you do your first few meters. I don't know. Maybe the clutch was already old. Who knows.
My legs hurt when I got out of the car. These are really heavy hardcore pedals. Actually, it's ust an old school 911 wich is too hardcore for my taste.
The RS4 I had later that day had a soft clutch compare to that one, and was going a lot faster.
Not a friendly car for rookies.
As for the handling, the car felt hearvier than a boxster. Rock solid but haevy. I don't know how muany ponnies this one had, but it didn't go that fast. IMO, a porsche should feel nimble and light. This one did not. So it was hard to have any fun with it. Making its @ss move a bit was impossible. Under heavy acceleration, the boxster will slide nd the rear wheels will spin. 964c4 was stable as a train.
Conclusion: too slow, too heavy, pedals too hard, not city friendly and the hadlind was not so good.
A boxster is ten times better.
Hope my review made any sense to you guys.
