The turbo is a very different car from the C4S, it has quite a bit more charisma and character but also feels slightly less connected and less responsive. Overall though, it's a thrill to own, and feels more special. I thoroughly enjoyed my C2s and C4S as well to be fair but the Turbo manages to feel like an occasion every time. My Carreras never did that for me.

I'm still here I passed on the tip turbo bc I know I'm not the best manual driver but still like it better than any auto. I want a turbo but with my budget I think the cars aren't the cleanest. Rather have a super clean low mileage c4s with all service done than a higher mileage turbo unless I find the right one. I passed on some mostly bc of price. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Cant go wrong with a 4S. Good luck in your search.

I think you can find a clean higher mile one. There is nothing wrong with them and market will appreciate 996TTs in time. It can potentially be a zero depreciation play if you buy right.

Just have to be patient and hang out on 6speed. Post a WTB thread there and see what happens.

Does a tiptronic 4S exist? I've never seen one.
