I think your choice should be the Turbo but I suggest you the GT3...I prefer the styled - race cars...
but that's my opinion!
Have a great choice

If I had the money I would get the Turbo because of its comfort,auto gearbox and speed in one package,The GT3 is too hardcore for your type of driving!


I suggest you to take a Fully loaded Turbo !
Get it in Colour to paint sample
Exterior: Polar Silver
Interior:Lip stick red

If you won't do the tracks then the 997 turbo was made for you. The Gt3 is way more focused for a daily driver.

I think it should be the trurbo hands down for a daily driver over the GT3. Both are great cars, but IMO I would take the turbo.

I like the GT3 design I like the front pamper more but I shoiced the turbo because it's faster and more comfort for daily drive

Yep, if you want an automatic....choice is simple.
If not.....I'd suggest you drive-try both. The 3 will be a nimble and fun ride around town (where turbos scarcley have the chance to spool up).

In your case I would get the Turbo. It will be a fantastic performer and much better for what you want. Be careful about getting something like the 997GT3, which, by the way, I will be getting. Even though it has been civilized I am sure it will still be pretty rough.

Since you won't visit any race tracks with you'r car, then the 997TT would be the car to go with. Goodluck with whatever your choice will be.

Well to each his own but I could say..........the only place I really enjoy the turbos spooling up, is on the track........and that a very short 1st gear along with turbos is not everybody's cup-of-tea for city driving.
My TT is set up more "hardcore" than any GT3 yet, for me, I do enjoy it during the week.....like I say, to ea his own, but I would not sell the GT3 short (unless you definately want an automatic ).

Good luck, and above all, have fun shopping & deciding.
