An owner’s view
PETE OSBORNE
Iown a 2010 ‘997.2’ Carrera. I was keen to stick to the narrow body, rear-wheel drive and manual gearbox, and frankly even the ‘base’ 3.6-litre model is more than fast enough, hence me not even looking for the 3.8-litre Carrera S. It took a while to find mine, but having owned it for two years, I’ve clocked up 5000 miles. Apart from the road roar, I love everything about it: the looks, the gearbox, the steering, the seats and seating position, the practicality and most of all the noise.”
