MK2 Turbo or MK3 GTS

[cinders]

Morning Everyone,

I hope you're all well. So I've 100% decided to buy a Macan over the 911 (I can buy that later... )

Now, I'm having a hard choice trying to decide whether I should go for a MK2 Turbo or MK3 GTS.

I've found some very nice MK2 Turbo's for around £65,000 and some very nice MK3 GTS's for around £75-80,000.

I'm just wondering if the MK3 is really another £10-15,000 better?

TIA,
Cinders.

I've had both. My thoughts are here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11747

The Gen 3 GTS is a better car in my view, in particular the ride and the way it steers - and I much prefer the interior. However both are great cars and that's quite a gap

Two key differences: The GTS suspension is a much sportier suspension and has the latest instrumentation.

If you prefer buttons on the centre console, the ability to manually control the gearbox with the transmission lever (as well as with paddles) as well as a nice leather gaiter on the transmission lever then the Mk2 is for you. Personally, I prefer the exterior look of the Mk2 but then I am biased.

Yeah - the lever thing's better on the Gen 2, that's for sure

Agree and likewise I'm biased.

Mileage, colour, options, number of past owners and condition will all have a bearing on your choice presumably?

Have you considered the Gen2 GTS?

I’d say if you can afford it, go for the Mk3 GTS.

Buy a Turbo.

Put a deposit down on a GTS.

Sorted.

Exactly this. Think the GTS will probably continue to hold its value pretty well. Haven't heard that production capacity will get scaled up, like it is for the 992

And I wouldn't hang around. Have heard they'll stop taking orders relatively soon. All that stuff about having ICE and EV in production seems to have changed. There may be some overlap but not for nearly as long as it was initially implied
