What to check on this generation

These are the points brand specialists agree on for the generation. They are not observations about any particular car below — only an inspection can tell you that. MODEL KNOWLEDGE

No IMS, no significant bore scoring: the family's usual engine checks no longer apply in the same way.
PDK servicing: gearbox fluid on schedule, often skipped.
Optional ceramic brakes: check replacement cost before being seduced by the spec.
Electromechanical steering: a purist debating point, with no reliability consequence.
GTS, GT4 and Spyder: genuine rarity and premium, to be confirmed by the original options sheet.

The rest is inside.
