Default Talk me out of doing it.....
Love my 07 TT, was in the dealership yesterday getting whiper blades and i sat in a new 2103 4S. Kinda liked the interior - was temped to take it out for a drive .
Has anyone wiith a TT compared their car to a new 4s? Power aside, is it an improvement?

I am just NOT a fan of the new 991s. Love the 997.1 turbo.

I Had an 07 turbo and bought a 991S. Had both for awhile and sold the turbo. I think the 991 is a better car. Handles better, mor comfortable and almost as fast. Having said that I am getting a 991 turbo.

I'm in a similar boat... But I'm about to sell my 07 Turbo (11k miles) for a R8 5.2 Spyder with manual trans!

I would only move to a 991ttt or a 991 gt3, the 4s is the same money.

Having just gone through this decision, I felt that a CPO TT would meet my driving needs (and more). Visually I prefer the 997 to the 991, and the sound of the turbos winding up with the scenery flying by at a rapid pace is too much to give up for me.

Now about that Carrera White 991 GT3 shown this week at Geneva Auto Show...

Interesting the 991s feels as fast as the turbo. Did you like the 7 speed manual or did you have a PDK?

Remember they're not making real deal turbos anymore, the 991s/boxsters/whatever all have the same basic engines.
