just picked up a 2016 GTS last week, quite impressed with the interior worksmanship, along with the feedback from air suspension.

the PCM screen resolution is a bit dated IMO, and i'm coming from a 2011 BMW F10 535..

apparently the front side markers are different for the 2016, so my dealer wasn't able to order them yet...

I am sure you could just add a resistor, so the computer doesn't think the light is out. I did this to my fake engine sound speaker on my eHybrid (plays an engine noise under the hood). When I disconnected it, I got an error msg, but I added a 10 ohm / 20watt resistor and all is good. $5 fix.

You would have to check the resistance of the bulb to see which resistor would be needed.

I agree. The one in the dash, the round screen. I noticed this in my first test drive. I think the new 911 has an updated one. I'll have to live with it for 3 years not too bad. Only thing that bugs me about the car. Minor issue

Thoughts on the GTS are appreciated. I like the torque increase over the prior GTS'.... clearly doesn't sound as good.
I didn't get the GTS because here in MN I wanted to be more on the snow compatible side. I did add Air Susp, PTV, PDCC to my S. I kept the 19" tires.
I think it will out handle most GTS's without those options. I love it, been driving it to work instead of my 997. Don't get me wrong I'm keeping the 911 too.

Nice pic.

So went to the LA auto show and now they have a gloss black option for the front air scoops on the bumper and the horizontal grills in front . They also have the rear letters Porsche cayenne GTS in gloss black. It looked really good. Especially since all the rage is now gloss black vs Matte black.

have to agree with jdsmoke...i have a 2014 GTS and switch into sport mode and it feels way closer to my C2S than anything i've ever driven in over 20+ years.

I've had the 2016 GTS since April '15 - 6,000 miles on the clock including a (pushbike) towing run into upper Michigan and a week-long return trip from Chicago to southern Florida. Overall the GTS is a great GT - you can pull 800 mile (shared driving) days and feel fresh when you get to your destination. I switched from a 2013 Panny GTS and REALLY miss the NA V8 soundtrack, but would really recommend both the PDLS and ACC - I've used both extensively and they work a treat....

I didn't have GTS but mine is S with PSE and PDCC.

You can improve the sound by installing cat by pass pipe.

I've had some seat time in both the RRSSC and GTS. We built exhaust components for and tuned the RRSSC, and once you add extra power it's a really impressive machine. That said, the handling of the GTS is really crisp. Porsche did a great job. Head to the dealership and drive them back to back!
