I have been kind of quiet on here lately but wanted to check in as my 2013 991 C4S just rolled 10,000 miles. Here are a few observations after 10,000 miles / 18 months of ownership:

1) Car has been flawless in terms of reliability. Couple little items easily handled by service on first try.

2) Car is a pleasure to drive daily (PDK) for my 17 mile commute from Northern NJ to lower NYC everyday.

3) Right out of the box it's a very capable track car. Recently went to NJMP and did approx 40 laps around NJMP Thunderbolt. Car was great. Far better than I was (first time on this track). Only mod was high temp brake fluid.

4) Can honestly say this has eclipsed the 2003 E39 M5 I had as my all time favorite car.

5) Contrary to recent posts which I refrained from posting, the connection to this car is quite remarkable. Porsche did an amazing job and in terms of "value" I am happy customer. Is it expensive, Yes. Is it worth is, Hell Yes.

6) Favorite options: PDCC, SC, PSE and of course PDK. PDK just because of my commute. If this was a weekend car, might seriously do the 7 MT. BTW PDK was amazing on the track.

That's it. Need to get to work. Just wanted to share my experience.

 

congrats on 10K and the trouble free experience, nice writeup

 

Thank you much for the great write-up... great to know. It may take me a while to get to 10k but nice to know someone else has had a great experience getting there! I hope to experience the same.

 

I agree. Just hit the magic mark on last week. Wanted to change the oil, but had to fly to Ireland.

The MT and the AWE exhaust are my favorite. Can't wait to get home and get the newCup tires mounted!

 

Great update! I just broke 9,000....hope to break 10,000 before winter sets in!

 

I have over 13K on my 2013 C2 Cab and have only cosmetic issues which my dealer has taken care of. The stitching on my top was coming undone; top replaced. The rear lights seemed to be coming apart on the lower seam with the red laminate separating; both replaced. Then the updates, exhaust hose etc. Took too long to get my dream car, and now that I have it, I drive it whenever I can.

 

Drive your cars fellas. Whether you have 5000 miles or 25000 miles, these cars depreciate. Don't save it for the next guy. Despite what people might think, they do drive in the rain and below 40 degrees.

 

wow .. I'm going to have to play catch up - I only have 5k on my '13 C4S .. and I got to think hard about #4 .. my '03 M5 was a hoot

 

I babied my previous Corvette - 1 of 3 cars we had, mass transit for commuting and (not by design) picked it up two weeks before we found out we were expecting our first child. Two more kids later and I wound up only putting 16k miles on it over 8 1/2 years.

Never again. I am determined to drive the heck out of my Carrera S! (And take good care of it, of course, but I do not wish to save it for the next owner!)

 

That's the spirit!!
