Over the years we've had a 993 cab, 996 cab, a couple of 996 Turbo Coupes, and currently have both a 997.1 C2S cab and 996 C4S. I sold my 993 to get the 996 Turbo, and although the turbo was an amazing car the cost of ownership compared to the 993 was massively higher and started to become frustrating. In hindsight I would have preferred to have kept my 993. Moving on to the 997 which dad has loned me for the past year, I love it and prefer this more than any of the other Porsche's we've had. The 996 C4S is a very close second, it is almost everything the Turbo was without the little voice in the back of ones mind waiting for the next expensive repair or service bill.
