Questions for 991 Targa Owners

Any regrets?

I read a review that mentioned a "balloon squeak" from the rear, has this been a problem for you?

I am thinking of putting in an order for one of these, but I need to know if there are "1.0 glitches" outstanding.

Thanks!

I did read in a recent article that there was noise where the top met the car (can't remember front and/or back) and that Porsche was working on a fix.

Thanks guys. It can be tough to capture its presence in a picture. I am a firm believer the targa looks better in person than pictures.
So far I have really enjoyed it. We have two children that fit well in the back seats, so it has seen a lot more use than my gt3 it replaced. I installed a cargraphic valved x-pipe and fabspeed mufflers, so it really is a car that offers everything. 4 seats, open air top, still good looking, sporty, and classy with the roof closed, all wheel drive for the wet and sometimes cold Seattle area winter, an exhaust system that can be very quiet or sound like a straight pipe race car in the upper rpms if I am on it, a transmission that shifts in the blink of an eye, yet all easy enough to drive that my senior citizen mom can drive it. All a pretty amazing combination.

Off topic... How do u compare the rear seat space between the E and cayenne?


I am struggling to replace my p4s with targa... The rear seats are just too useful..really curious the difference between 911 and p4s in performance and fun to justify the switch..
