Minor, but what grinds my gears...
-how cheap the e-brake sounds when pulling it
-the stock seats
-stock engine bay isn't very flattering
-cup holder blows
-arm rests on doors (storage cover) is amazingly uncomfortable on the elbows.

Peeling leather dash and tail light cracks
Most of my other gripes have already been taken care of for good.

That is a fantastic question and one I have had to ponder since selling the car. Everyone buys cars for their own reasons and has different expectations based upon that. I bought mine when I got out of racing and was tracking cars that I could drive to the track. My 996 TT was built for that and was what I would call a stage 2 build so nothing crazy but good enough to be much better than stock. My 997TT is built similar but has the stock suspension.
I honestly find the 997TT a nicer car to take to dinner and generally to be in. But it feels far more exotic and gets a lot more looks and many of them judging me. My 996TT was really an image of me and was a much rawer car. I worked on it as often as I could. My 997TT is much much more refined and is less special to drive. I think the world makes 996 owners question their cars because of their looks, water cooled b/s, etc. but in the end it is an amazing car. And the prices are just stupidly low.

The items that come up for me:
First Gen PCCB not holding up to advertisement... dishonest marketing...
Coolant fittings vs what they use on their Motorsports program
Cheap LSD that really don't last.

As I said, it depends what you are looking for. I do miss my 6T a lot but the 7T is great as well. Just different. Fortunately, I have my Viper for the track/special drives and that car is in another league.

1) rear spoiler going bad (replaced under warranty thankfully)
2) crappy wood interior pieces warping
3) headlight clear coat peeling off/looks hazy
4) oil sending unit/pullies /O2 sensors going bad
5) rearview mirror going bad (how does that happen, lol?!)
I still love her though!

When I spec my car, I asked my friend who wrench on these cars about ordering some carbon interior pieces....no advised NOT to as they will not hold up. Unless its a garage queen.
