Default What a car!

Every time I drive this thing I'm absolutely amazed with this car. My first ever Porsche and words can't describe how this thing handles. The power is absolutely stunning and I've only spent most of the miles in Sport mode only! For a Cab this thing is also amazingly quiet and rattle free. Incredible build quality. Drop the top and engage the wind screen and it's amazing how quiet with no wind inside the car. Does the "giddiness" ever go away, I sure hope not!

The giddiness stayed with me regarding my S cab for 2 solid years right up until I traded for the TTS, and then increased by a factor of ten. So be prepared to be grinning from now on.

Still giddy at 10 months and 6,300 miles. (Also Sport and Automated Manual mode only, of course!).

It's funny, I've never had feelings for a car like this. I'm glad I'm not alone. More fun today taking a sport bike at a red light! I drive it to work and look for reasons to go out any other time!

I've been driving my 01TT for many years now and the giddiness has never gone away. I can only imagine how awesome the new TT with PDK must be.
