Default 15 Turbo S v. 17 Turbo

Generally speaking, for roughly the same money, would you go for:

1) 2015 Turbo S. Under 9K miles. Black with Black/Red interior. Only really minus is no heated wheel. I know I'm soft... but I love it in the winter.

2) 2017 Turbo - barely used. White with same interior Black/Red. No PDCC but has heated wheel, and updated PCM, steering wheel and other .2 updates.. No PCCB.

I'm a bit torn...

Assuming both are CPO'd, the '17 but only due to longer warranty.

By all means go with the 2017 991.2 TT. Definately the 991.2 TT over a 991.1 TTS

No PDDC is a deal killer for me.

The wheel is an easy retrofit. I really can't answer otherwise... I'd probably go with the Turbo unless you plan to track it a lot (and maybe even then).

I have PDCC on my 17 TTS and did not have it on my 14 TT.
On the street it's hardly notice it at all. Definitely not a deal breaker IMO, unless you are a track rat.
But the PCCB brakes are MUCH nicer than the BIG Red steels in lots of ways.

That said and for the same money I'd definitely go for the newer technology offered in the '17 TT.
The heated steering wheel is very nice! Ya... I'm soft as well!

Thanks guys. Couple thoughts/comments:

1) Both are CPO

2) I had a 13 C4S and a 14 Turbo with PDCC and now have a 17 C4S without plus took out a Turbo last Saturday w/o PDCC for a nice hard ride. This is not a deal breaker for me. Some part of me likes the natural feeling of the lean but certainly understand the performance improvement. Again, not a must.

3) While I can add the .2 wheel to the .1 I don't believe I can add heat.

4) I have the new PCM in my 17 and not a major factor for me. I could do either way.

It really comes down to

- PCCB v No PCCB - love these brakes.

- Status of an "S" badge

- Heated wheel... or let my fingers freeze in the winter for a few minutes.

Tough call...

I'd personally pick the 2015 TTS because of both the PCCBs and PDCC. Seems off to me to have a 911 at this level without both options (could probably do without just one of them otherwise).

The status of the S badge would also be a factor for me--1) there are more TTS than TT out there and 2) being in CA, I drive by a different TTS on what seems to be a weekly basis (and might get "S envy") but have only come across one TT (also a 2017).

After driving '17 TTS for 2.5K, I can say go for 2017. They improved so much - steering, suspension, AWD operation, etc. Most improvements are subtle, but the sum of parts is way bigger than I anticipated. You will not miss the power or PCCB of TTS. PDCC is more important but also not necessary. IMO, the .1 to .2 improvements do way more than these options.

2017 all the way. Newer better and faster than a 15 S.

Depends on specs. I bought a Turbo S because the following were critical for me:
PDCC
PCCB
Premium Package Plus (keyless go, and other good stuff).
Burmester
18 way seats
Glass Roof
Extended leather with stitching on the dash and doors.

It's virtually impossible to find a TT spec'd like this, and when you do it's too expensive relative to a TTS.
