Cab might very well be the last 996 I would buy. I found the power to be better but not enough better to accept lesser handling and pendulus cornering. The worst of both worlds from my view point.
And at high speeds on the open highway a strong cross wind gave me a very bad feeling I have never gotten with the Boxster. I felt like I had to hold onto the steering wheel tighter. From a engineering perspective its a compromised sports car. you just can't hack the roof off a sports car without watering down the car. Even the pre-07 Ferrari F430 Spyders had this problem when compared to the F430 Coupe.
Aesthetically everyone is different but it just doesn't look right. Someone called it a bathtub with a big butt. The hardtop looks terrible, like a turtle with four wheels.
Get a Targa or stick with Boxster.
just my two cents.
