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.
MK2 Turbo or MK3 GTS

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.On-Track wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:10 am Two key differences: The GTS suspension is a much sportier suspension and has the latest instrumentation.

Mileage, colour, options, number of past owners and condition will all have a bearing on your choice presumably?
Have you considered the Gen2 GTS?

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
