In Canada, Porsche’s are hard to come by, I waited almost a year for my manual C2, and from what I have seen they hold value better than most, my dealer offered, when I ordered the T ,to get me out of my 2018 lease without me paying, although I would have lost the year in payments.
The T in Canada is about $125000, close to the S in price, I paid $117000 for mine so this is no base car!
Looks like I will have a good 7 months to decide.
As a lot of you daily drive the T how is the ride and ground clearance with the 10 mm further drop, and with the manual are you shifting more?
I have lots of city driving to think about.
thanks for your input
You already have the T on order so there's nothing you can do. Neither are suitable DDs for Ontario. Which dealer are you working with?
Mine finally arrived today!!!! Happy to now being an active member of the T club!
I've posted a more detailed review that I will be updating, but in short, this is an EXTRAORDINARY vehicle! Now I understand why so many who have received one say that it feels "special". It sure does! I've driven my fair share of base, S and GTS 911's, but this one feels somewhat different. Can't put my finger on what it is, but it is outstanding.
And regarding the interior, having ordered mine (as most of us) sight unseen, I was a little worried about the cloth part of the seats. After seeing it live, the full leather with the T package is incredible. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful 911 interiors I've seen.
Here are a couple of exterior and interior pics:
For me, I will just say it in four words: Best car purchase ever!

i have an suv for winter driving, but I have snows for the C2 for the clear road days, I live in the southern part of Ontario so it’s not too bad, and the worst months I spend down south.
leased it through Porsche Oakville
That one and the one on the glove box door (see pic #3, wink, wink) are original Porsche parts. Ordered them thru the dealer.
P.S. Next mod: Shifter boot in deviated stitching!!!
Alex, your car is beautiful and unique with that badging, I currently have the GT silver and have the T in the same colour on order ( although it’s far from locked in)
Mine just arrived too & it's a month early! I'll be picking it up Monday. I was surprised to see that the front lip is installed after delivery.

Great news, Michael! Yours is the Racing Yellow one?

Alex_c, welcome aboard. Love the red pinstripes! Given that you've got more experience than certainly I do.. Do you find this car noisier than driving C's, C2's, GTS's? (I realize so much of the noise factor is dependent on the condition of the road surface - and, maybe the tires get quieter. Sometimes I feel I could hear a pin-drop. Other times it is just downright loud.)

What kind of SUV? Neither C2 nor T will hold value well so might as well buy T and lease C2. Keep T in south and C2 in ON.
Yes, you are crazy. But apparently so am I. I've got a deal in place to sell my '17 base manual and signed the agreement to get a T this week. If all goes well the car will be here late this Summer. I've lost my mind.
Wait, what? You bit the bullet? Well done! Did you share the spec?
