Selling my 996 C2 to get an CSL

GregorJP · 17-10-2012, 12:57 PM

Sold my 997 C2S (which constantly broke down) and replaced it with my CSL. No comparison, CSL is much better all round. Still have a hankering for a GT3 but cannot bring myself to sell the CSL.

The rear seats is a big issue with both the Porsche and the CSL; the Porsche doesn't have any to speak of, whereas the CSL does.

However in and outing to access the rear seats of the CSL can present more problems, the interior trim; rear seat bolsters front seat backs ares coated with what can be best described as 'Plastisol' not very forgiving catch it an you mark it. Dropping the rears seats also causes scuffs and tares which then can develop into scabs where the coating begins to lift.

Conclusion: Both cars are useless for nipping to B&Q and as for passengers; one you can't have, the other you don't want. The rear of mine has never been sat in, nor is it likely to be. (three children 2, 5, 11)
There not playing with my toys!

I'm rather less militant than you Neil - although I do make the kids (8 & 10 now) take their shoes off for longer journeys.

For me a big attraction of the CSL is that you can fit stuff in the back with the seats down, and it's very viable for ferrying the kids around occasionally. You do have to be a bit careful with the cheapo plastic bits and CF centre console, but if you're not going to use the rear seats or boot, why not get a GT3 instead ?
