Pros/Cons:

Option 1:

No 18 way seats, no PDCC, center locks (pro or con?), yellow accents cool

Option 2:

Lowest discount, would have to add paddles. Great build. Would I get sick of all the red?

Option 3:

Turbo S....... (I think most will stop here), no entry and drive, great discount, just a little more than others per month, no burmester, no CL's


All options are within $100 per month. Each deal a little different but financials not the focus. Really like the 2015 build. Not sure about the Red interior but it's different and cool. 2014 Turbo S.... well it's a Turbo S with No CL's. Think I prefer no CL's. Seem like a potential problem.

So, I'm asking for opinions..... thx.

Well one last question is this a lease or a buy. I ask because I would say somethings may be more negotiable to me. It would also make sense to lease the 15's if they have a better residual? I leased last time around but bought the TT.

Option 1: I am not big on the Center locks or the PCCB for reasons of maintenance, and aftermarket options. They look good though. You really cannot go wrong with a black on black 911 when clean. The problem is being a slave to black. The car is a nice build with some personal touches like the yellow gauges. The glass roof is one of my favorite options. The standard 14 way seats are fine. I had them in my last 991. I prefer the 18 way seats in the new turbo but it would not be a deal breaker.

Option 2: This would probably be my top color combo. I love Agate Gray and the red/black interior especially with the Carbon fiber interior. I think this combo is just the right amount of red. No Glass roof here but it does have the Sport Design Mirrors which solve that annoying issue of the lower mirror not being painted. I enjoyed the functionality of my multifunction steering wheel in the previous car but after a couple off weeks with the Sport Design wheel feel the MF wheel would look out of place in the Turbo. The Black PDLS would look sharp as well. The PDCC is great but even after driving one with it this would not be a deciding factor for a DD.


Option 3: It is Turbo S.....so the extra 40 hp and standard options have to count for something. I do not have the entry and drive on this TT and was pissed someone did not tick the box for a matter of a grand on my build. Again after a few weeks it really is not that big of a deal. At this price point should have had it. The center locks again are not a deal breaker for me. The Burmeister I did not feel strongly towards either. It sounds better than the Bose but most of the cars I looked at did not have it and I am not a die hard audiophile.

I would probably go with option 2 if it is the best deal and they can add the Sport Design wheel. It is a 15 and that Agate Gray on red with Sport design mirror with the Carbon interior is just sexy.

If all three are within 100 bucks on your monthly budget I would get the TTS simply due to all of the included standard options. You will have less hassle with the 5lug wheels which are great looking in my opinion.
Taking my own preference out and being as neutral as possible, all three cars would be awesome and you would honestly love each one. So you just have to decide what color you want!!!!!

Thx so far. No bad options.

Tommy - it's a lease so 14 v 15 not huge but I prob won't make it to the end so it might play.

Oh god, option three no questions.

Then if it is a lease and only 100 bucks difference I am with Doc on the TTS.

If it were me buying I would take option 2 simply bc of the color combo and deal. No bad options there especially to only have it for a couple of years.

3 is the Only Option
 

At price parity, a Blk/blk Turbo S trumps the other two well-optioned Turbos. Since you are not a stereo-phile, then do not worry about the Burmester option. PDCC is rarely noticed although is nice to have. IMHO although LED headlights are unnecessary, they sure look way better than the Xenon lights. Also I think you would find the sunroof in glass a really great comfort option. Good luck and may the force(d air) be with you.

My rank would be 3, then 1 and then 2 especially if you do not need to change those center-lock wheels for cooler weather driving with the appropriate tires.

If you are partial to certain color options then the dilemma may increase b/c I agree with the above comments about interior/exterior color choices.

I think I am taking option 1 off the table. Since I will be driving this car all year, I really don't want to deal with CL wheels. Also, although not a deal breaker, PDCC is nice to have.

A little eye candy

Options aside, IMHO the 2nd will look far superior to the standard black/black. Easier to maintain the appearance as well. 18-way seats are nice as well.

Price not being an issue, I would opt for the TTS. Best color combo is 2 (I have the same interior - it is stunning). Not a fan of black/black - too hard to keep clean and too boring on the inside.

I don't think you could go wrong with either 2 or 3.

No question #2 is the one, with one small modification. Go with black carpeting - it turns down the volume of the red perfectly. I've seen a few like this and it looks amazing...

My car came with black mats. I think it is the standard color mat with the garnet/black combo.

Mine came with black mats too.

I would do the TTS.

For all the cash money these Turbos command, I'd option up something to my exacting tastes.

Musts for me are the Turbo S, aerokit (if there is one), PCCB, LED lights, darkened headlight front and rear lenses, sport seats, crest in headrest, full CF interior bits, gloss black wheels, and the other suspension doodads. I'm sure I'm missing some not knowing what comes standard on the S models, but these options are money for me. No sunroof. Keep it lightweight up top.

Darkest gray available with red seats.

Good luck!
