if you have a date who hasn’t seen either car before the 992 will get more appreciation than a 991

Or are you talking specifically about materials used? Like the leather isnt as nice as it used to be things like that?

I have owned 997s and although the interior on those is quite dated at this point and there was a plethora of painted plastics, it was a bit quirky and had a certain special sports car feel. I feel the GT4/Spyder still has some of that. The 992 is nice but so is a fully loaded Kia. Maybe the interior being quirky and slightly dysfunctional kind of made it feel special?

The leather also does seem a bit more plasticy. Everything is clean and orderly and a little boring. My wife was the one telling me that having a two-seater sports car makes no sense with two small kids which is why we were there in the first place. After our visit she said that there is no way I could trade my car for one of those, my car was special and the 992 was nice but not even close. She was convinced that I did that exercise on purpose to convince her that I should keep my Spyder. I honestly felt the same way she did but it was good to hear the same review from a non-car person. By the way, the Carrera was also Shark Blue so the exterior color had no bearing on her opinion.

This is a big reason why 991.2 GT3 tourings are worth nearly much as 992 tourings which had a much higher base prices and much higher dealer ADMs.

992 jumped the shark with an almost completely digital dash, silly cupholders, and they come either with a razor shifter or a manual design that is clearly an afterthought and looks an after
aftermarket just glued onto the central console as it doesn’t match the rest of the interior design.

And the customizable “accent” strip along the center of dash is cheesy and looks like it belongs in a BMW, not a six figure Porsche 911 variant. The tachometer is the only part of a 992 that is analog. I have zero interest in a 992 variant of any kind.

I’m very glad I’m getting a Spyder RS this year before all Porsches become just a big screen.

As they said in the road and track review, the Spyder RS/GT4RS is “peak cockpit”!

behind the wheel and that annoying shaver adorned by piano black trim.

The GTS hybrid is interesting - perhaps Porsche should have gone with a 718 hybrid as well prior to full EV adoption. T-hybrids won't get a manual though since the motor is sandwiched into the PDK.
