Are you going to Llandudno for the weekend or just Sunday? I want a good look at your wheels.
After much mulling over the pros and cons I decided to trade in my GTS against a 997.2 GT3.
My 14 month old GTS is for sale here, looks lovely doesn’t it.

This is not SOR, I have no financial interest in this but it’s a good car I would recommend to a fellow PH’er

Nice looking car. It’s a shame they can’t list the options properly....they’re not alone in that though. Soft close doors on a 911 ? Lux Pack ?!My 14 month old GTS is for sale here, looks lovely doesn’t it.

Yes I didn't know it had soft close doors... he he.
Tony was a real gent start to finish bit of a character but straight forward and actually went the extra mile on a couple of items.
My report picked up a few bits some I was keen should be done and others were just comments I was less concerned about.
Tony replaced the front discs and pads without me asking.

The GTS was plenty fast enough, comfy and refined but very much a grand tourer.
When we were on hols in Switzerland last year this all came clear to me. My wife asked me if I wanted to be there in the 911 rather than the family wagon. I actually realised that I only wanted to be there in my Boxster Spyder as that would be much more fun.
I have an everyday car and the GTS overlapped with that so much as the perfect daily I really didn't need another one so I thought I have the opportunity to get something more of an event as an occasional toy.
Always wanted a GT3 so then it was which one is the best for me, I decided the gen 2 997 really is the final iteration of the original recipe with a manual so that's the one I settled on. Oh and I wanted to keep the Spyder so a 991.2 manual comfort or Touring was too many £s.

A couple of factors to consider on your viewpoint
You have the cab version which is quite diff the regular 2s is more like a GTS 2 coupe than a cab
And second you chose to buy a GTS in cab spec so your opinion is somewhat suspect to me
If that sounds facetious sorry that’s honestly what I think about cabs when it comes to more sporty cars unless you are looking at carbon monocoques

to say ......his opinion is suspect just because he didn’t choose a Coupe!!! .... I used to be coupe only, with a whole series of tin top Pork including a Turbo & GT3, but modern top end cabriolets are so good dynamically while adding a whole new open air experience, so I too have become a convert. Just taken delivery of a screaming n/a 991.1 GTS Cab, awesome car and despite the soft top it is still a great drivers car on the twisty stuff 
I recently bought my second 981 CGTS (PDK). It is a great car - no doubt, but I think I need a bit more power. Perhaps the old adage of never going back to a specific model, always 'moving up' is correct.
I have always wanted a 911 GTS and think it's now or never. Especially a nasp one.
Does anybody know this car? Assuming it doesn't sell before, I'm taking it out on Friday. It isn't perfect - missing the interior pack and has PDDC. But it's Carmine, doesn't have the pano roof (big plus) and it's a one owner / low mileage car.

After reading every word on this topic and waiting for what seemed to be forever, I finally bought my first Porsche!! I got the exact spec I wanted at an excellent price from Porsche East London. Excellent to deal with.
Some highlights of the spec:
GTS 2
PDK
RWS
PCCB
Bose
GTS interior packages
LED Porsche Dynamic Lighting System
No sunroof!
Multifunction Wheel.
Very much looking forward to getting to know the car after six bmw M cars.

Having read this entire thread before buying mine, a lot has been said about the GTS interior pack being essential but for any newbies it’s worth noting that there are 2 GTS interior packs:
GTS Interior Alcantara pack - gives you the dash, upper door cards and centre console surround in leather plus Alcantara lower dash and extra Alcantara on the door cards - IMO this is essential to the GTS experience and is a must have
GTS interior package - you can only spec this if you also spec the above and it basically just gives you coloured stitching and a coloured rev counter (both either in silver or red) - I would say this is more personal preference and not essential

Any 991.1 manuals around ? these are so rare
Short answer.. noI’ve been watching the market for the last 8 months and only seen 4 advertised..
For me that is the true ‘must have’ option but the majority obviously don’t agree!
