Borrowed my dealers C4 convertible today whilst my C4S is being serviced. Hugely underwhelmed with the noise. Is that it? PSE on, roof down, windows down and ... silence (relatively speaking). Total anticlimax. I cant help thinking the mags have played down the loss of character with the swap to Turbos. At one point all I could hear was whistle with a bit of boom. I felt like I was driving a transit van! The push is nice, but it doesn't make up for the loss of warmth and character. It also did some weird whoosing that sounded like air being dumped. Not a nice thing to list to after a 3.8!
I was also surprised at how much of the new PCM screen acreage is actually just bezel. PCM seems nice enough though and I like having both stereo controls and proper paddles on the wheel, but the paddles themselves seem to now have rounded shoulders which don't fit my fingers as well.
I expected to want one. My actual response was "Meh"... took a mate out who has a Jag F-Type R (he already thinks my C4s sounds a bit lame after his fire breathing monster). We just sat there looking bemused at the near silence even with everything turned up to max. Odd.
