Cons included low drive height. My car was lowered which made speed bumps and snow a real drag. Summer tires hydroplaned like crazy in the rain. HVAC was a bear in summer. Great fun experience nonetheless but I haven't looked back since I replaced that particular ride with a 4.2 S4 Avant.

are you stating that the a/c efficiency wasn't up to summer temps? was the system up to date and charged well? just curious as i'm looking at making the switch from my 997S to a 993 here in TX. a/c MUST work well. would appreciate any insight.

also had a B6 nogaro S4 avant. cool car.

Above 90, the AC still does the job, but the fan speed needs to be on 3 (of 4), which can be a bit noisy. I can't tell you much about how it does with temps over 100 (thankfully

) Wonderful car -- I've had mine 13 years.
