All current Porsche engines, other than the flat fours and sixes are rehashes of Volkswagen engines. Nothing wrong with that at all, and certainly a GTI Golf engine is nothing less than a Touareg V6 engine.

Economy is not a deciding factor for me, so another £2.5k for a V6 S model with a slightly better base spec seemed to make more sense. Can’t be arsed waiting forever for the GTS so an S it will probably be.
I’ll be spending no more than £52k as the 2L is identical spec apart from the engine! The only things I feel I need are:
Sports Seats (which give you some free leather!)
20” Wheels
PASM
Metallic paint (probably)
Auto dim
Heated Seats

There really is nothing more I need than this as it now comes with LED’s and Nav as standard! Also it’s not so much the economy for me but the front end weight, which definitely helps make for a more pointy car. I know some may say it can’t make much difference but 70kg is a hell of a weight and I’ve already read reviews (and felt for myself) suggesting the lighter lump gives a better steer!!
Suggest that you also add:
Heated steering wheel
£ 189.00
Smoking package
£ 38.00
Ah yes heated steering wheel... always swore I'd never pay for one of those but it is rather nice as I have one included in a package on my current car! Depends if it adds another button to the centre console to remove one more of those horrible blanks!? :lol:

You'll have to find a different source for buttons! Possibly a 991.

Nozydog - If you want to get rid of some of the blank switches see my post:-

PS....not sure if switches have changed with facelift but same principle should work.
