Does that answer your question?
A spare wheel is one of you favourite options??? ๐Ÿ˜ถ
You need to get out more Colโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
I do Jon.

Four punctures in six years and the spare gives me reassurance that if my Halfords can of sealant does not work there is always the spare to get me moving again.

I no longer have a warranty or Porsche Assist so Iโ€™m glad I planned for it with the inclusion of the trusty spare.

Would you order it again?

Gimmick or great?!
It depends on whether you get hard frosts where you live / worlk / play. Also if you drive early mornings / late evenings after having been parked for hours. The 2.9 petrol engine heats up quickly and you can get a vent stream of hot air directed to your hands on the wheel within 10 minutes.

I have never needed the heated steering wheel, but the heated seats are great especially if you choose the all leather seat squabs.

I live in the โ€˜warmโ€™ south of England, but my car does live outside all year round, so heated steering wheel definitely worth its weight in gold to me. :)

Another variable is if one is inclined to suffer from cold hands, in the cooler weather. I do, unfortunately. ๐Ÿฅถ However, some folks comment that they never suffer from cold hands, even in the depths of winter...

Waste of time for me, had it on my F pace and never used it once. Wouldnโ€™t pay for it as an option.
