Update on the test drive. They now have the car in the front window and tell me that if I want to drive it I will have to make a pledge to buy it. This is typical of the first models to hit the showroom. They act like it the only TT in the world. That's okay.. I understand car dealers..
I will be patient and wait until more cars are in the market.. Then they will change their tune a little.. It's just a car and I'm not exactly slumming in mine.. And Speed you are probably right. Just because I don't like (parts of) the TT now doesn't mean I won't change my mind down the road... My comments sure created a great thread though! And, as I mentioned earlier on there were a few things about the new car I'd hoped were a little better visually such as that front valance but I can tell you after driving that TTS, it was very very sharp in all the right areas, dynamically some big improvements… very impressive and satisfying to drive I found. Anyway always best to keep an open mind because depreciation will kick hard as it always does. ;)

I always loved the looks of the 991tt since it came out. I was a bit disappointed in the c2s I test drove as it felt too comfy for me even on sport mode.
Funny thing is yesterday I left a deposit at my local P dealer for a brand new Cayenne GTS......both my P cars combined would have gotten me into 991tt with enough money left for mods but I need the third car in my garage now :banghead: Unlike the 991c2s, the Cayenne GTS had me smile the whole time I test drove it. By the time I came back from the test drive I was ready to sign :bowdown: |

This is the best thread ever!!! You have no idea how much I laugh when you call speed asshole lmao! Which I agree with you he is an smartass but I like his style a lot! I just like stray shooters! I hate fake people.... Even he agree with you!!! Lol I'm an asshole too!!! Lmao About the dealer..... I don't know how they are expecting to sell cars if they keep doing that crap! They did the same **** to me in the dodge dealer last week, when I went to see the new Viper. |

^^ I felt the v6 diesel was nice but def not worth the price tag. It felt soooo laggy that I dont think I could live with it even with the 30k less price tag. Also the engine rattles and vibrations were quickly noticeable on test drive.
I can't speak for v8ds as it is not available in the states. Not sure people would be too interested in v8 diesel. Aside from engine type, the GTS is the only model that was aesthetically appealing to me. |

Aside from engine type, the GTS is the only model that was aesthetically appealing to me. …would also agree GTS is packaged nicely out of the box with only a few ticks required as extras. It seems in US the 991TT is also pretty basic out of the box and you need to tick quite a few to get it to an acceptable standard? Here that car is full leather standard with nav, bose etc. |
From what I have seen you are right Paul.. They have another black one at my dealer and the interior is bare bones just like the white one was..
That's disappointing but I guess the 997 was no different.. It's just that bare bones at $167k kinda bugs me.. My car was fully loaded with every option (except deviated stitching) and the sticker was $144.. So that means if you loaded the base 991 TT with the same options it would be in the $180+ range.. There I go talking about money again...:surr: |
Its all about money when it comes to porsches. The 997tt at my p dealer was well up in the 190s

At our prices it's terrible getting over the hurdle. At 500 it will really bug you. |
I agree completely Paul..Doesn't a loaded Camry come with full leather?:corn:
500k That is just crazy... |
Still talking about how expensive it is to own a Porsche in any other country??????:o :crying: We get it!!!

We are fortunate here in the US compared to Asia, Europe etc. I was not aware of the prohibitive tax in AUS until I heard about it here. If I lived there I would seriously have to step up my game in order to afford what I want to drive! |
