Not going to succumb to dealer heat. Feels very pressured.
There are a lot of 2014 PTTs out there. See if they will discount it more to get the deal done but get the one that feels right to you.

This is the time to "make a deal", especially with in-stock inventory... end of the month. See these tips.

No PDDC on my GTS. It's fine. Trust me, get the turbo. Another league. Lower that bad boy and you will be very happy.

Pdcc

These cars are big and heavy but still among the best handling of all the cars this range. PDCC improves this dynamic as it helps manage the weight transitions. My recommendation is to get the PDCC if possible. I'd obviously opt for the turbo as well. Both are great though. They are great cars, enjoy!

I'm a vote for the GTS.....I just think its a more rare, unique car. Sure, the Turbo has redonculous power, but how fast can one really drive on public roads? Plus, I think the PDCC on these is a borderline "must have." Lastly, that red leather may get old.


Obviously...both great cars, and we are all lucky we can afford.

Keep us posted

The GTS for sure. You can get a number of faster 4-seaters than the PTT. Can't get a better handling or sounding 4-seater than the GTS.

I hear you. I love the GTS but the discount on the PTT was too much to pass up. I went PTT. Maybe I'm in minority but black/carrera red interior with carbon package rocks!

The steering surprised me...much lighter than I thought it would be. And sport exhaust is a must.

And it only turned out to be a $5k difference in price of the PTT vs. GTS.

I thought you said it didn't have entry and drive. That would have been a big issue for me.

So congratulations! I think you made a good decision.

Apparently it's standard now. It's weird, still getting used to it.

Congratulations. Great choice! I love mine. 960 miles on my PTTS, I can't wait until I can go part 4200 RPM. It's killing me.
