some thoughts for comparison

my 2002 c2 was a wonderful car - loved the PSE -the technic pkg. -the carbon pkg. -the flared rockers - park asist - it waqs a super car - great service.

The difference though is enormous with the new 997S - i had been avoiding driving a new one and actually bought this one without ever driving a 997 of any year or model.

my advice stay away or you will be hooked. the whole car is a massive upgrade -suspension -pasm -steering -engine 3.8 - drives very differently ..and that is before you look at the interior changes.

loved my 996 - getting to know the new one. enjoy and have fun with the cars.

did your 2002 squeak and rattle somewhat over rough city roads? how does the cabin noise level compare?
