We have a '05 Carrera. And have extended coverage until '11 and was just informed that I can increase it to at least 2013.
Big dilemma: Could I be wasting $$$$ since I haven't used the coverage to date.
Sort of complaining about no problems?
My son drives it more than I do, so I guess it's more like his car, especially when I said that he could do exhaust, wheels, etc. to it.
My opinion: Imagine an Elise on steroids. With the PSM on you can feel every bump in the road and the car has an aggresive feel.
Off: A tennis player. ON: A lineman who plays tennis, and is wearing full football pads and a helmet. Hard to describe, but it just feels heftier.
Don't forget some ZDDP, in the oil after the change.
SAFETY: I was rear ended in one of my previous ones, I saw it before it happened, woman in a wagon was turned around hollering at her kids. I was dead stopped and she hit me at about 25-30 with no braking. Wow! As a result of that, I feel safer in heavy, crazy traffic, as far as it being able to take a nastier crunch than the Elise.
It was over 30 years ago that I got my first one, that pretty much says it all. You'll love it...good luck!
