looking for a 944 s2

There's nothing wrong with white.
I had a white Lux. Brilliant colour, didn't look dirty untill you washed it and then you realised how dirty it was.
Hides any little dents a treat. Mine had a dent in the front wing that I didn't even notice for a week.
Is easy to see, so less likely to have someone pull out in front of you - unless it's snowing when you wouldn't want to be out in the car any way.
At the end of the day, picking a car by colour is a girly thing to do. Go for the best one you can find for the money, ignor the colour - unless it's pink of course and then leave well alone. [

Sorry - first time post and i've already upset someone.
Fully agree its a girly thing to go on but its not every day i spend this kind of cash. I dont even think the white bothers me its the dark blue interior. Obviously quality will have the final say but if i can find one with different interior it would be a bonus.

There's nothing wrong with blue interiors.
I have a blue interior in my cab. Brilliant colour, doesn't look dirty untill you clean it and then you realise how dirty it was.
Hides any little marks a treat. Mine had a chocolate squish on the seat that I didn't even notice for a week.
Is easy to live with, and less oppressive than plain black - unless it's scruffy when you wouldn't want to buy the car any way.

Don't you worry about that. We all take this very light heartedly. I'm sorry I didn't welcome you to the forum and congratulate you on your first post.
I agree with you totaly on having the right interior colour, although I quite like the blue. My white Lux actually had a black interior which made the car dark and claustrophobic. My black Turbot is beige inside and makes the car a much nicer place to be. It seems more "expensive", although it is difficult to keep clean. I think cloth seats are more comfortable, and you stay where you put yourself, but I would still like leather as, again, it seems more opulent.
Whilst the outside has little bearing on anything, the inside is where you will be and I agree that it is important that you like the inside.

Doug myself a girly grave with my colour preferance.
I'm looking at another white next week. Apparently its the muts nuts for condition inside and out and its had all the major jobs doing that you guys have said to look out for. If it is as good as i've been told no doubt i'll ditch the girly views on what colour it is.
Thanks for turning me into a true porsche MAN. []

Well done Fen, LMARO as Rick would say.
I said this was a light hearted Forum.
I think interior colour has much greater bearing than exterior, would steer clear of burgundy and, having had black, would prefer not to go there again.
It is a difficult one to call though. If a realy good car came up with, say, a burgundy interior would you pass it over for another colour. You can always change an interior if it anoys you enough.
Yes, welcome along Alex, sorry for taking the mick, but I couldn't resist it.
I agree that the interior is very important, although I really do like blue. Depending on what you want to spend you will be looking at black, blue, burgundy or linen (very light beige / grey) on an earlier S2. Later ones could have black, cobalt (slightly lighter) blue or grey interior. You will also have the choice of cloth in velour pinstripe, 'logo' or 'studio (tartan) flavours in those colours or leather. Note that a car with cloth centres and 'leather' bolsters is the basic no-options spec and the bolsters will be vinyl. Full cloth was an option as was leather.
My first 944 was white as well.It isn't that bad (but it's 8 years agonow and it was more popular then) but it wouldn't be my choice either and I agree that you should get the car you want - there will be one out there for you if you have a realistic bugdet.

Easy now[]
I've got a burgundy interior, an actually like it a lot[]
It goes really well with the silver exterior, and makes it look a little different. It also looks a bit more up to date, like the Carrera GT, silver with brown interior, and a lot of boxters are silver with boxster red interiors. I was like most people before I got the car, when I found out it had burgundy interior I was a little dissapointed as I thought it was my least favorite colour, then I went to see it and was surprised how much I liked it.
I'd take a bit of on open mind on colours untill you go and see the car.[]

At the risk of starting an interior colour squabble - my first 944 had a burgundy interior so I know exactly what they are like. While it isn't exactly offensive it isn't to my taste.
Someone originally chose your car with burgundy when black or even blue would have gone just as well with silver, therefore it was a preference. It wouldn't have been mine (I'd have gone for blue, but Alex doesn't like that), and mine wasn't theirs - nobody's right or wrong, just different.
Edited to say: No that's rubbish - I'm right and you're all wrong if you don't agree with me. There that's that sorted []
