I'd rather take the Cayman thanks...

But then again, not if a battery swap costs £490.

out of sheer fascination i put the reg in ecp.. £300 for an AGM battery (my BM has AGM but it was £200) then i guess you have 'coding'

thats all a turn off for me. odd that i work in tech and while i appreciate a good ECU i dont want anything else computerised on a car. maybe climate

i doubt you'll have any issues, you seem to look after your cars.. sod the warranty

go on, click it.. i dare you

Yes the Porsche pricing for some things is ridiculous. But if you’ve been practically addicted to modding / upgrading your cars ( as in me !) and want something out the box that does it all and better than any modified car I’ve owned , then it seems cheap

I have a memory that yer actual service costs weren't bad. Mind you, that was the 986...

I understand that to change the air filter in a 991, you have to lose the rear bumper, so they've probably gone as stupid as the others. Audi seem to think the Citroen GS was the benchmark for servicing access.

hey sorry to thread jack - I'm a new member so can't seem to DM. Congrats on the new whip. On your s2K, I was wondering where you got the AP brakes and what size of rotor it was? I have the same 17" Rota wheels so might go with the same option.

They were from reyland ... just the kit they do for the S2k . Great brakes at an affordable price considering the quality
