Hey Guys, I am also in the market for a 996TT and I am looking into an '01, whats "un-desirable" on this year model?

 

I have an 02 Tip. Stay away from the navigation option. It's a CD based system and you can't buy updated discs anymore.

 

the cup holders were different
the stereo wasn't as nice
there was no glovebox

Supposedly the 996.2 ('02+) cars have more chassis rigidity.

 

djtan, they didn't tell me the 01 yr was a BAD car. They just said that at my budget I should definitely be looking at '02 or newer as they seem to be more in demand.

Thanks for the info on the NAV, didn't really need it so it wasn't a necessity.

The stereo upgrade between yrs sounds like a plus.

Thanks everyone. I'm out today to see a few cars here in S. Fla but have my eye on some units in other states. Might be on a plane Monday.

 

shucks! I just put a deposit down for an '01!

 

There are no cup holders in my '01, "just a shiny dick with two chairs in it"

Correct on the stereo / glovebox - you can put the gloves in the side pocket though.

Chassis rigidity is a myth.

 

nothing wrong with 01 cars at all.

if you cant stand not having another pocket to put something in buy a Honda =)

you can get cupholders that dont break off for 50$ shiney stainless steel that sit on the floor away from harms way

Nav in the 2002 cars sucks too it really sucks allthe way into 997 cars

 

are 02-03 about the same or were there any other changes made for 03
