'13 gts

Just got a CPO'd '13 GTS with color and options nearly identical to those I would have ordered, which was a very pleasant surprise to me. Might have gotten lower price if I bought privately, but very probably would not have a 4.5 year/100,000 mile Porsche warranty. It was the best optioned GTS in the country when I did my search and the dealer is 10 miles from my house. Very happy with the car after just a few days. First time I have bought a pre-owned car in 30 years, but with a longer warrant the relatively low mileage '13 made sense. Plan to keep it until the next model Panamera GTS is introduced. The '14-'15 restyled GTS is very nice and a definite improvement, but the '13 deal was just too attractive to pass up. Other car is a '15 991 TTS, which also has the 18 way seats of my GTS that are the best seats available on any vehicle, IMO. The alcantera seating surfaces are excellent, as it the alcantera sport steering wheel.

The GTS is a very satisfying car to drive and has sufficient power for my needs. What is also impressive and convenient is the similarity of the controls and PCM on both the '13 GTS and the '15 991 TTS.

Definitely a well balanced beast. It does not have the insane, teleporting turbo thrust of my 991 TTS, but it is an extremely satisfying car to drive.

Love driving the GTS. Looks a lot better after detail guy polished it. Will get some better photos up. The exhaust note is outrageous and its presence on the road is imposing. Doesn't have the thrust of the TTS, but somehow it makes up for it viscerally with pure, big displacement grunt. Interesting how Porsche captures the best of its respective models with its GTS versions.
