Test drove the GTR again today and it was a blast. But tonight for ****s and giggles I started looking st Tourings and wouldn’t you know found 3 great specs all with sofas. And now I’m mentally justifying to myself that the price is only a few grand more but in the long run it will retain value much better.

Im all over the place. I’m a freaking idiot.

My primary issue with using the GT3T as a daily is not seat-related, it is engine-related. For me, driving around in bumper to bumper traffic in LA is not where the GT3 shines. It took me close to an hour to go 10 miles this evening. Left my office in BH at 6 and got to the beach at 7. In my PDK GTS, no biggie. If I had been in my GT3T, I would have gone nuts, sitting in traffic, putzing along at 5-10 mph in first gear, worried about getting rear-ended by the pot smoking and texting driver behind me. For me, anyway, at the end of the day, the Touring shines no matter what seat. Just get the seat that works best for your situation. The car is such a beast that it all comes down to personal preference with the seats, you really can't go wrong either way.

Both are really great options.

Buy what you like - the cost difference will fade away after a few weeks. the major discussion point vs the two are manual or dual clutch.. For a daily.

I'd agree with sofas for a daily.

Good luck and enjoy the Pista!
