If you were thinking about a new coupe...
If you didn't have to give up your Boxster and you were in the market for a new coupe, would you choose the 997 Turbo or the 997 GT3?

I'm sorry, I really prefer convertibles, so of course, I would get this.

I would have to go Turbo, the backseat would be nice for the kids.

Probably the Turbo. It is a more comfortable and managable regular driver. The GT3 is purpose driven. I dont intend to drive on a track much so the more street friendly Turbo is my choice!
