This week I was able to drive a co-workers Carrera S. It was pretty nice. he is a timid driver so I took it easy. In general I noticed how small the interior is. So much so that I wonder if I could really own one with a growing child who would have to sit in the rear seat. I have seen kids jammed in the back and they look miserable.
Other than that, the drive was nice. I compare it to my R32. the R32 is way stiffer than the Porsche even when set to "sport" mode. But the Porsche did not exibit bad behavior during mid-corner bumps that my R32 would. Part of the R32 issue is that the shocks are due to be replaced though. The Carrera S was quick, but not really quick. I was not able to drive it in anger though so it remains to be seen how well it goes and stops etc. It did feel like it would be confidence inspiring though.
One main concern is that there are SOOO many on the road. I like having my 1 of 400 black leather 2004 R32. I never see another really and when I do it is a quick thumbs up from the other driver. And for the cost, my R32 really feels like a match. It is not a GTI. It is not a tin feeling rickety small vw. They built it alongside the Pheaton and it is very solid, sounds great, and over built.
