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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, In your learned opinions which car is potentially the better monetary investment in ten to 15 years time? Given both cars have similar KMs, same transmission  or manual v manual or pdk v pdk And for those who've been lucky enough to drive both, which is better to drive?

POST 2Original post

Can’t speak to future values, but I can tell you the 997.2 GTS was a very rare car in Australia, much more so than a GT3.

POST 3Original post

997.2 GTS   As well as the lower numbers compared to 991.1 it is also last of smaller size platform, and hydraulic steering.

POST 4Original post

I get the 'S' badge means something to a base Carrera and I also get the GT cars 2/3/4 and respective RS versions of those. Beyond that though, I don't really get the significance, especially in terms of an 'investment' proposition by the numerous other badges/variants Porsche has to offer. I'm likely in the minority but the real substance behind these other numerous badges at their perceived values is questionable. Don't get me started on the 'R', 'ST' or 'turbo' badge on the Taycan!

International law requires all motoring journalists to anoint the GTS of any model Porsche releases (From Carrera to Macan to Taycan) a bunch of options ticked on an S "the sweet spot of the range", thus making them a blue chip investment.

POST 6Original post

well I drive a base model 997.2 manual.  only options are the ones I want- sports exhaust, 19" alloys from the S, multi-function steering wheel to operate my 6 stack CD player. Boom! I hope this car will never see the second hand market whilst I am alive.

POST 9Original post

It is  shame my wife threw out all my CDs during some house move not remembering I can keep 6 of them in the car. So I have been listening to the same 6 CDs for the past 5 years.

Sounds like me, though I have probably 100 cd's in the van. Sadly the player is jumping a bit, so I'll have to get a new one. Can't do that Spotify/streaming thing Also me 😅

I will swap you my 6 for any random of yours....   So tired of listening to the same CDs so it is often back to FM radio.  Living the dream

Mate, I have a very diverse musical taste, from listening to the 3 Tenors busting out Nessun Dorma (do yourself a favour and listen to that up loud!), to Metallica and Tool turned up to tinnitus inducing volume levels. Currently on an Oasis and Smashing Pumpkins binge as I'm learning their songs on guitar. Can't listen to commercial FM with all their football and DJ's spitting out their incessant, gobshite diatribe thinking they're funny, so it's either cd's or AM radio on the van...but there's only so many times a week I can hear Creedence and Kenny Rogers songs on a 4 song loop during the day before I want to stab my own ears with a pencil, especially when onsite 🙄
