I totally agree! Spend quality time with your kids. The time zips by, and then you blink, and they are heading off to college! I did sell my 993 way back then when my kids were young (although now I wish I would have kept it! 😢 ). I did buy a manual R8 years later to scratch my itch, and I still have it.

Turbo S is Porsche’s way of M5 or M3. Its not supposed to be “special”. Thats what a speedster or gt3rs is for. I think you bought the wrong car.

3 pedals hates the TTS

Depends how you spec your TTS and modify it

I would never want a 3RS. Zero practical and I do not road course. Too obnoxious for the street IMO.

Modified TTS is a beast on car rally’s. Not many can keep up…

Respectfully disagree. Had an M5 Comp. It was a great car but my 992 TTS feels way more special than that car, like in another league. The TTS is a supercar that is also a dependable daily, which is pretty rare. GT3 or Speedster wouldn't be bad as a track car, but as a daily can be pretty rough and missing some features like Burmester tunes, memory seats, etc that make a daily nice. I love the luxury of the TTS combined with OMG speed. Working to get a GT3 for my second bay to take to Sebring. Cheers.

Everyone has different baseline of “speacialness”. The whole point of TTS is its ease of use, function, comfort. Usually those attributes and “special” are mutually exclusive. I’d consider an SF90 special or 812 or F12 special. I’d consider a ZR1 special. I wouldnt consider a GTS/Targa/S/TTS special. I own a $300k msrp heritage TTS and I daily drive it. I also own two GT3RSs and in the process of acquiring a spyder rs and 812. I’d consider those cars special. What makes all those cars special also make them unpractical which is again opposite of TTS mission statement.

As you could turn a suburban into a lowered, body kit, turbo charged monster, yes you could make TTS a 1000 hp car with tune, catless exhaust, cup tires but thats not its intended use case where the definition of “intended use case” is really defined by the product team in Stuttgart working for PAG.

Of course if you have limited means and must have 1 car, I’d take TTS over any GT car.

"Special" is subjective. I find the 992 TTS to be quite special, like an Olympic Gold Medal decathlete.

Fair enough but the OP is complaining about connection and all, those again go against the mission statement (comfort, ease of use, etc) of this car.

I feel very connected to my 992 TTS, the athleticism wows me and I feel like I'm driving it, it's not driving itself. My E93 M3 is a lot more comfortable than the 992 TTS, I don't think of the TTS as even remotely being any sort of luxury car.

elvisdoc

agreed. everyone has different definitions of special. TTS feels pretty special when I am driving it.

My 993TT has way more visceral feedback than my 997TT which has more than my 992TTS. That being said the 992TTS on a sharp sweeper has such insane grip with the RWS that makes it waaay more special than the other two even if they're on Hoosiers. Its not going to be evident as a daily driver. The 992TTS is 23s a lap faster than a 997.1 TT at VIR. You just haven't discovered how its special yet.....

I recently did a long test drive of a 997.2 TT cab, pushing the car as hard as I wanted to. I was hoping that it would complement my 992 TTS couple, since the 997 is a smaller car with hydraulic steering and a more analog cockpit. But what I found was that the 997 just felt obsolete compared to the 992 - AWD not as seamless, much more turbo lag, much less grip, etc. I think the 992 TTS is much more enjoyable to drive.

Saw your car sitting in the adjacent room while I was looking at a SRS.

Curious what they gave you for it if you don't mind me asking, can PM me?

Do you miss it now? Did you put it back to stock before the trade in?

People change. Your kids and your startup are now your babies. It’s not really the car, cars have just become irrelevant at this point in your life.

Had the same happen to me with watches tbh.

This is one of several reasons why these cars become garage queens.
