Suspected cause

Every generation moves the bar on, the 997 will feel luxurious compared to the 993, but thats part of the 993 character, if you're ready for something more modern the 997 will be perfect, especially as it was the last manual 911 Turbo.

I just want something a little more modern and what I can use on a more day to day basis than the 993 but still love the Turbo kick!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As per subject, I've had my 993 Turbo now for 11 years (and loved every part of it but just not using it enough) and thinking about making the move to a 997 Turbo. Not decided yet on 997.1 or 997.2 depending on finding the right one. Has anyone else made the move and liked it or have any comparisons? I have driven a 997.1 years ago before I got the 993 and remember the pure speed sensation in a modern car (at the time). I just want something a little more modern and what I can use on a more day to day basis than the 993 but still love the Turbo kick!

POST 2Original post

No experience of them but this Turbo S seems rather special https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13739301

POST 3Original post

I've owned the 993>996>997 turbo, all great cars, the 993 was my favourite and sorely missed, the 997 is by far the best all rounder and quite the looker. Every generation moves the bar on, the 997 will feel luxurious compared to the 993, but thats part of the 993 character, if you're ready for something more modern the 997 will be perfect, especially as it was the last manual 911 Turbo. I'd stick with the 997.1/1.5 if you want to hedge your bets on future value. I'd chat to some of the big indies about your plans.. Exciting times Edited by guyvert1 on Tuesday 23 August 20:03

POST 4Original post

I have had both do not sell the 993. Still have 997. Miss 993 far cooler.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all and yes the heart says keep the 993 but the mind says get something more modern and try something different and let someone else be the new custodian going forward of a great car for years to come. I am embarrassed that I have only actually driven the car for about 10 miles in the last year for many reason's! I've seen a couple of 997's and the above black 997.2 S looks lovely and will probably make a trip there to see what's it looks like!
