I'm thinking about getting my wife a 911. Any experts here? I'm looking at good condition, low mileage used. Probably in the 2016-2018 vintage range. Found a nice Carrera S but curious if it is worth it to spend the extra $$ to go up to a Turbo or even Turbo S model? I have researched the spec differences. Seems like the Carrera S would be more than enough HP and fun to drive. This would not be a daily driver. Just a Sunday fun car or similar. Any thoughts or real world feedback from anyone that might have one?

I’ve had quite a few. I don’t think a S would be worth the extra money for what you’re looking for. I have a GT3RS I’ll sell ya. Lol

I would imagine a Carrera S would be plenty of car for most women. The price jump to a TurboS is substantial, and for that money if its just a weekend "fun" car, then I'd look at a GT3. Theres just no comparing the experience (sound) of a N/A flat six vs a turbo.
 
You want a classic! 1987 Porsche 924s (has the 944 motor in it)

Look how much $$ you'll save!!! :LOL:

Thread '1987 Porsche 924s'

Some of the pics look off! The color looks uneven but it is NOT.1987 924s with 64k+ original miles. Been in the family for 25 years. Red exterior. Black interior. Automatic. Its the S model which has the 2.5l Porche 944 motor in it, 4 cyl. Original paint, has some small dents that could be removed, some places where the paint is worn but its a 37 year old car! Interior is in good condition. 1 tear on the drivers seat. The dash has the typical cracks but also has a dash cover. Overall its in good condition. Just had it professionally polished. Runs and drives. Passed smog less than a year...

I haven't driven a 991 Carrera, but they are cool AF and you can get the 7 speed manual with rev matching downshifts. Would make an awesome car for anyone.

I've driven both the GT3 and Turbo S and the GT3 is hands down the best car I've ever driven for the reason you cite and just wasn't a fan of the Turbo because of the AWD
