Intercooler said the 992.2 Turbo S was impressive at the launch (Spain ?), but was disappointing and frustrating on UK roads.I think they went to Scotland and back iirc.
They said the 992.2 T would be more rewarding and more enjoyable in the UK.

I've had 992 GTS,992 T and currently have a 992.1 turbo S; Whilst good, accomplished cars, the GTS and T are absolutely neither more rewarding or enjoyable as the Turbo S.
I had a 675LT spider at the same time as all of them, but the Turbo S was the car that made the decision to sell it as it did everything just slightly better without any worries.
Im not sure what could be frustrating with 700+ bhp, all wheel drive and all wheel steering; the 992.1 Turbo S is outrageous to drive, and the .2 is supposed to be a vast improvement....im looking forward to getting my hands on one.
They are a bit toppy on rrp now, but so is everything...if '23 Turbo S are hovering around the £155k mark, I suppose its just the way it is all over.
More exciting / explosive: Turbo S
More engaging / satisfying: Carrera T
More usable fun at sane speeds: Carrera T
More special occasion / supercar feel: Turbo S
If your measure is engagement rather than performance, the 992 T is probably the better driver’s car. The Turbo S has to be a 5 minute wonder - we see it every time, the market gets flooded straight away soon as owners have had their 5 mins of fun with it.

The Turbo always seems to be regarded as the most boring of the 991 and 992 ranges. 5 minute wonders. People are going to take such a depreciation hit on these.
Turbos tend to hold their value quite well , a 992.1 turbo s was 156k at launch ,look at the used prices now .Jones the cat said:

My measure was on comparing each of the models you list during my ownership and useage.More engaging / satisfying: Carrera T

Its as simple as this; get a T, your gonna want a GTS; get a GTS, your gonna,want a Turbo S; its just about where your budget is.
I wasn't looking for comparison views on them cars, i was looking for comparison of 992.1 v 992.2 as I havnt tried a 992.2 Turbo S yet.
This '5 mins of fun' analogy was first used with the 996 TT, and possibly upto and including the 991.2.
You could however label that with any car; the 675 spider was pretty quick, and i kept that 4.5yrs and only departed when the 992.1 Turbo S arrived.
The 992.1 Turbo S cab was quicker, and as I mentioned, does everything that little bit better, especially in poor weather conditions and i have never got bored of it.
Chris Harris views the 992.2 Turbo S as the first Porsche he would absolutely take over a GT3; i was interested if that view was echoed by someone who has taken delivery of a 992.2 Turbo S that's on here...I cannot find the Apollo posts on it that were mentioned earlier to see what his opinion was.
It does seem a big step forward.
