Default Deciding between two 991.1TTS coupes

Trying to decide between a 2014 TTS with ~12K miles - black with black/beige interior loaded with Burmester/Adaptive Cruise Control/Sunroof in glass and a 2015 Red TTS with ~5K miles, black interior Burmester/Sunroof in glass but no Adaptive Cruise Control.

I love the black and it is more subtle and has the ACC which I love. But red makes the black bits pop more and it is a year younger. 2014 can be had for low 130's. Haven't tried to negotiate a price on 2015 but assuming low 140s.

Any thoughts? I don't think the 2015 had any changes. I like the red, and want the glass sunroof but don't love the black contrast on the roof. Also wish the 2015 had ACC.

I would probably go with the red 15. Mine is black on black - I don't like the beige interior and might be harder for resale if thats a consideration. I never found the excitement of ACC on a drivers car. Can you get a CPO on either one? Thats worth gold.

The 14s and 15s are the same. Even the 16s I am pretty sure are the same until the .2 model.

CPO available on both. I only use ACC on long drives and imagined with a Turbo is would be a great GT car. It's funny how personal colors are - I like both - you can't lose with all black interior but sometimes the lighter colors are a refreshing change of pace. :-)

Red for sure. I wish I would have the nerve to order mine GR...but Basalt Black it was....but the Guards Red on that car with deep tinted glass is absolute killer.

I love black cars! Most of my cars up until my current S6 have been in black. Black paint with dark window tint is as sexy as it gets, IMHO. My future TT or TTS will most likely be in jet black on black (or carrera white w/black & beige combo). I wish I had the ***** to get a red car but I just don't like the attention; red supercars are absolutely stunning! As for the ACC, my S6 has it and assume it's pretty much the same system as the 911. I like having it but I really don't use it much, if at all. If you take road trips and enjoy using cruise control, ACC can be your friend. I like to mesh the pedal every chance I get so the ACC is useless. I would definitely get it on our next family hauler but not on my future Porsche. Just my .02.

When I was buying my car, ACC was a must.

My must haves on my 2014 were ACC, Burmester, Glass Roof, Keyless Entry and Drive, Backup Camera, sport-design steering wheel, center lock wheels and two-tone interior (preferably red). Plus it had to be CPO.

I held out and found one with all these things.

Red, but what does it matter, all your gone but not forgotten stuff was not very long lived.

Go 2015 and red. On cars, black isn't so much a color as it is a part time job.
CPO for sure.

CPO no brainer, can always wrap the car later too.
