After reading this thread, it inspired me to try to test drive a GTS today, but nary a one on the lot.
Did get behind the wheel of a new Boxster S. Fun car. Absolutely love the PDK transmission. Shifts are so quick and precise and right on time. Would be awesome on the Cayenne.

A question regarding the Sound Symposer. When the GTS is in Sport Mode, is the Sound Symposer always active? Asking this a different way, can one drive in Sport Mode with the "normal" exhaust sound/levels? Thx

Not possible, sport exhaust and sound symposer will be on, but why would you mute the car when in sport mode?
I love the sound symposer in my 911, Its not a fake sound, just an amplified intake sound in the cabin, outside is a whole different story, sounds like a C63
.
BTW the GTS symposer sounds much less inside than my 911 does.
You can always mute the thing with a couple of corks as some guys did in their 991's.

I would like to have the option of listening to the Sound Symposer or having this at "normal" sound levels to enjoy my Burmester when driving in Sport Mode.
There is something to be said about turning up your favorite tunes and driving it like you stole it....
Thoughts?

Thanks for the replies. If I were pricing out both vehicles now, I would go with the GTS. The main issue that I have is the hit I am taking on trading in an 11 month old CS with 2000 miles to get into a GTS.
I know that at the time of resale, I should expect a higher retained value for the GTS. The real question is whether or not it is worth it? Theoverall driving experience will be different but hard to determine how much...
