After 5000km with my .2GT3 I can honestly say - comfort wise - I could use it every day. Only catch is the car needs some planning ahead as to where you go and park because it is low and it will scrape on steep sleeping policemen, steep inclines and you cannot drive up curbs like you can with your Range Rover. Also take into account with the semislicks in wintertime, with low temps and rain/snow, you will need every ounce of concentration you can muster, because it will try to kill you.
If you get the .2GT3 next to your Range Rover, ditch both the 993TT and 991 targa. Use the money for trackdays and driving lessons, or get a second exotic like a ferrari / mclaren convertible. That will give you LOTS more enjoyment than holding on to cars that give a driving experience that is too similar.

After awhile, you just get tired of the old stuff and just want to drive the new, warranteed, new stuff....

My recommendation: Take your time with this decision and wait until you really can drive your Touring. You need to find out what makes the Touring so special. Then check whether any of your other cars also scores in the same area, but to a lesser degree. From what I read, the 991.2 targa seems to be the car to let go - it does not quite offer the openness of a real roadster (like a Spyder or 981 Boxster would) and cannot match the Touring's performance. And even if you regretted a sale in 2 - 3 years, it would be relatively easy to find another nicely equipped targa. That's much more difficult with the 993 turbo - you might not find another one in the same league..!

I understand issue. Targa is alot of fun to drive. But think you'll want different driving experience of 993 vs. 991 (not that GT3 and Targa are close - but bigger contrast with aircooled car). I'd trade Targa. I'm trading my Irish Green one when my .2Touring comes. Your targa looks great!

My GT3 had 2 services in 15800 miles...1st service, interim service. Both instances I had the car back the same day, had a brand new loaner to drive, and the total cost of both services combined was $1200. I knew the price of my visit before I even arrived to the dealership. The car was just easy to own. I somehow lost the "passion" of constantly maintaining out of warranty cars....taking them in and awaiting THE phone call with a $$$ request for service.
I'm DEFINITELY not stating that the older cars aren't interesting or fun! Just that I'm just too damn lazy nowadays. I seriously fear that I'm just getting bored with the hobby.

Not to mention...when I want to flip the new car, I just list it or trade it and it's gone in a matter of days...the car being under warranty and all, it's just fast and worryless. I just don't have the drive to talk to multiple tire kickers, meet them, test drive with them, bargain with them (ugh!), deal with their transportation, etc. Again, not to naysay the older stuff, just saying that as I get older, my patience has been worn thin.
I'm just lazy...

You know...I think this is where I am heading. I have too many cars...too much to time to wash...move in lane way...up the lift..down the lift...worry about them.....never drive them. Go away for the weekend...use Range Rover....work - Range Rover...want to do a track day with my RS3...don't even want to use the 911. It appears that selling both and pare down to just the GT3 T is a sensible solution and hold pat for a while. Might even take a nice holiday - pay a couple of years tuition for my two kids in university....
