Other than that and the grey interior (barf), the car is really, really nice. I'm just bummed that a 2009 911S is still trading near 50K with 66K miles on it, when I remember the same cars in 2011-12 going for only about 10K more with a LOT less miles.

Yeah I agree on the Grey and the mileage

If it was my only car sure.

But it wouldn't be.

Nice rhododendrons as well. The blue looks nice, and I'm not sure I'd care about the AWD. It certainly didn't hurt the experience in FC's turbo. Gray interior = bad. Needs the sport seats.

On normally aspirated 911's, RWD all the way for me. That's how newbie me felt when I went drove a 996 C4 vs. C2 on the same day in May 2004 and then again for the 997 and the 991 (the latter at Monticello track). They have so much grip to begin with, I like the lighter handling feel. Turbos may be different. YMMV.

The color is beautiful. AWD ruins it for me.

Check this one out - 2008 911 targa 4s. The heaviest of the heavy I suppose. Never seen one of these.

yeah lets add a huge piece of glass to the highest point of a sports car Original targa seemed like a decent idea. Guess modern 911 owners cannot deal with removing a panel since they might get their hands dirty.

I do like the hatch opening though Seems like they could offer it on normal 911 without adding much weight.

I totally forgot that regular 911s don't have a hatch.

I would want RWD. And the hips. So, GTS then.

GTS is absolutely the sweet spot.
