In a pickle... 991 Carrera S vs 997.2 Turbo
Discussion
When I was going through the same dilemma I very nearly pulled the trigger on this:

In amazing condition and really went rather well!

I've just pulled the trigger on a 2012 997 Turbo S.
It will be my daily driver.
Picking it up after Christmas.
My previous car was a 2007 997 Turbo Tip which i managed to clock up 26K in two years ownership.
You could say i am impressed by the Turbo's ability to deal with London traffic,M25 commutes and weekend fun with an auto box and i think PDK is going to be brilliant.

I'm a good few hundred miles in, and I'm very impressed. It feels tight, agile and the cabin is such a nicer place to be than the older turbos I looked at IMO. I've still got the 911 itch to scratch, so, I'll be aiming for a GT3 next year if all goes well.
I know it's not the right section, but here's a couple of pictures anyway

I have had my 2012 Turbo S since this spring and in that time it has been nothing short of a revelation and exceeded all my expectations- scary quick on any surface and in any gear, practical, efficient when you need it to be, bonkers when you want it to be (I'm still amazed at the performance 3000 miles in!),...perfect weekend car or daily driver.
Thanks Chad.
I'm pretty excited about it as every review,test and opinion on here seems to indicate the Gen 2 PDK is a huge step forward from the Gen 1 Tip.
I've never really been interested in a manual due to the varied driving and mileage i do on the commute.
My Gen 1 has been a wonderful car.I have arrived at work every day for two years with a huge smile on my face,and the same when i arrive home.Definately worth the outlay,i am looking forward to more of the same but better!
