I think all Porsche owners recognise and reluctantly accept the complete lack of options included on the price, but I think certain things really should be standard such as the front/rear cameras and, given it’s a sports car, speed limit indicators and limiters for example. No wonder they’re the most profitable car company.
I started my Porsche journey thinking that way but after many hours spent speccing I prefer having the choice of options. If they were standard the start price would be higher so there would be no saving and just impose a price for something you didn't want. Satnav is standard but I would forego it and save £1500 to spend on other choices and use my phone to avoid having to read my mapbook
Fair point, and there is the nice fact that no 2 Porsches are indentical (well there probably are identical ones but with the array of options there are so many variations unlike, say, a Tesla where you pretty much pick a pack and that’s as individual as it gets).
Funny you should mention the Satnav because I tried out the built in nav the other day for the first time and had waze on as well. It was good to an extent, but it lacks the dynamism of the Waze system so it took me into traffic that Waze wanted to avoid. It also has this annoying habit of displaying the map on the right hand dash dial every time there is an instruction so I have to keep switching it back to the info view that I prefer.

You can configure it not to do that. Explore "Navigation" settings.

I’ve trawled through the Nav settings several times but cannot find a feature that appears to relate to that display. I will keep up the search though!

It's something related to "auto zoom" but without going out to the car I can't confirm that.
In my defence I have read the manual, watched the videos and sat in the car and pressed every button. But I still can’t figure it out. In fact I’m one of the rare folk who after getting a new car read the entire manual and stick post-it notes on all the pages I think are of relevance. That’s all part of the joy of a new car in my opinion.
