Default 2015 991.1 GTS Gremlins

Sorry folks, there are NONE. In 15,000 miles you will wish it on me. None,None,None!

OK, you wish a Gremlin. My right rear tire has taken a bolt/nail in the outside of the tire x2. I had to replace each tire before 3000 miles.

That is my worst crime.

I enjoy the hell out of my 991 GTS.

I hope you do as well.

GTS has crisp steering ... You should be able to avoid those nails, unless you have the softy power steering plus.

Rattles at first and took multiple visits to the dealer to address, all good for now.

Need warmer weather to unleash the Rumble.
LOOOOVE the handling and PSE.
6000 happy s(miles) and counting.
The car is addictive, that's one gremlin that ain't going away any time soon.
Personal Time Off has become Porsche Time Off.

Zero problems with my '13 S with Powerkit after 16,500 miles.

My 2012.5 991S did have a few problems, all fixed under warranty. The last 18 months I owned it were trouble free though. My 2012.5 had rattles too - my 2013 does not.

9500 miles of pure enjoyment. I am keeping mine forever! No need for Apple Play and new steering wheel. Forget about Turbos!

Loving my 2016 GTS cab as well. Have had a couple issues, though: The tubing to the windshield sprayers fractured. I "fixed" it by placing tubing over the two ends (will get it fixed properly under warranty at a later date). Second, have recently had the gas lid pop open spontaneously. It just opens a little, not all the way out. Third, after going on an extended spirited drive last Thursday (through a twisting mountain pass in So Cal and on a stretch with straightaways where I was hitting up to 115), the car handled the ride with amazing aplomb - until Monday morning. Driving to work for surgery at 6 am and voila, the low oil warning light comes on: "Do not drive on." Holy you-know-what. I thought I was going to destroy my epic flat six NA in one fell swoop. I stopped at a gas station, poured in one bottle of oil and the warning went off. I then checked the oil level and it showed that it was almost at the top (the green bars were almost at the top). Hard to believe that one bottle of oil made the level almost full.... No leaks that I can see. Anyway, my recent issues aside, I plan on buying the car at the end of the lease and driving it until its - or my - wheels fall off, whichever comes first.

I also needed a full bottle of oil and currently at 6k miles. Same result, after pouring it in, I'm 1 tick away from the max level, which supposedly is the optimum place to be.
