If having your wife and kids ride in your car is important to you, then your Spyder vs 911 decision is made. T vs GTS is personal preference, though the GTS is stiffer so the wife may not like that. Actually, you may want to take her on test drives before you make decisions since it seems she weighs heavy on the decision. Find people from here or your local PCA chapter who have a T and a GTS and ask for a favor.
Yes and no. My six-year-old loves the Spyder. She helped me design it, pick the colors etc. She loves when I pick her up and drop her off in it and insists on the roof always being down, even in the winter. It is her and papa's special thing.
Perhaps because of this, my wife doesn't see it as her car and my two-year-old is broken hearted when I take off with her sister. My wife literally rode in it once in over a year. My wife doesn't have the bandwidth not the interest to select cars. Even her SUV was designed and ordered by me.
So, I can keep the Spyder amd make my six-year-old happy or get a Carrera and have everyone slightly unhappy but at least be able to all ride in the "special car".
FYI, I am fairly confident that we have recently gone through this and in this very thread. That is the current price with destination included. No price increase, yet…

Well, if you're interested in a stranger's/outsider's perspective, if I had a wife who won't step foot in my car and two little daughters, one of whom is attached to my car, there is nothing to think about. Either you trade the Spyder for a 911, or you keep the Spyder and buy a 911 and I would involve my wife and my six year old in the process. Your wife may not care, but you do care that she's willing to ride in it.
My dad was in town and just turned 79; took him out for his first drive in the T, on a sunrise run up Lookout Mountain. Perfect timing to hit this road, not a car (or cyclist) in sight!

If getting a T make sure family only refers to it as a ‘club sport’ and that they respect it’s origins.

So they changed how they show pricing on the configurator, which now includes the transport fee in the top of the page vs bottom of the page. Whatever?

Base MSRP has always been at the top of the configurator. Total MSRP with destination is at the bottom and would also depict options if I had selected any for the second screenshot. The total has always been towards the bottom of the page as well. Nothing new… I have spent a significant amount of time on the configurator for the past six plus months.

hahah I was trying to reply to Barkat03. But once you get access to 93 you can never go back..
93 AKI is about 95 RON, which is "super" in Europe (we used to get 91 RON too, as regular, but not anymore).
We also have acces to 100-102 RON (~95 AKI) or Super Plus 98 RON.
At least in Germany, due to how a refinery will provide fuel for many gas station chains/franchises, even if a gas station only offers 98 RON (Jet, etc), in reality, the gasoline has at least 100 RON because it makes no sense to mix the MOGAS pool at 98 instead of 100 RON, just because a few gas stations only offer 98 RON.
Thus, even if you can't find ARAL, Shell, Total, etc...stations that offer 100-102 RON gasoline, just fill up with "no name" 98 RON and you are golden. It will be, in most cases, premium brand 100 RON.
Still debating between the T and the GTS TBH and even asking myself if I am willing to give up my Spyder for either. Main reason is the back seats and to get my wife to actually ride in the car with me. I would love to hear your thoughts. There are no Ts around me to test drive or sit in so it makes it harder to make a decision.
You want to have your cake and eat it, go with the T. You will get a nice "driver" 911, you can drive it hard, without ending up in jail. And get a manual one (if possible).
The GTS is a mini Turbo. Makes no sense to get one with manual gearbox (turbo lag, too much torque), for full experience go for a GTS4, PDK. If you want an open top, to compensate the loss of the Spyder, go for the GTS cabrio, PDK. Thus you can get everything
