Default Which 911 to drive?

I have a 2014 CTT. Looking to buy another vehicle mainly for fun. Haven’t decided 4 vs 2 seater. Last weekend I drove a 2013 Panamera GTS with PDCC, PTV. It was so much fun with flat cornering, the exhaust sound, instant throttle response and fast. This week I am planning to try out few 911s. I don’t want something extreme with metal cage, big wings etc. Which one would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

2015/2016 991 GTS if you decide on a two door, which i'd recommend since you already have a CTT.
Similar sound, handling and throttle response as the Panamera you drove.

I found a few good examples with CPO listed between 110k and 118k (midwest dealers).
Almost pulled the trigger but opted to order a 2018 GTS.

I had a similar CTT as you. They are pretty amazing considering how big and heavy they are.

GT cars are the best to drive. GT3 in particular.

Whichever one you have

I think the old ones are a lot of fun too. If you've never had an air cooled you might want to try one out!

Don't exclude a drop top Boxster from your considerations.

Amen. Especially a Boxster Spyder.
