I was pretty sparing with the extras on mine, as lots of things were already included in the T spec. Nothing I wish I hadn’t specced. And 4 years on, I’d spec a 911 T just the same, including the colour, if they did a 992 T.

Haha - not quite Col + sad to see you can’t have the new haptic jobs lit up if you don’t have the feature!
We know you will not be happy until the interior looks like the Starship Enterprise
Haha - only button wise Col as my varifocals struggle to focus on both sides of the new wider PCM display at the same time as it is + I must look at the road sometime!

Controversial on this forum, but right now I’m struggling to see how life would have been any different without ACC. When I tried it out my car hit the brakes on the motorway and gave me a mini heart-attack. I just don’t have enough faith to rely on my car making the right decision every time. Plus, I get regular warnings that “systems may not work accurately” or words to that effect because the radar is dirty. So I could be a grand or so better off.

It will only jam on the brakes if someone cuts you up, otherwise you may need to adjust your driving style so as not to zoom up close to the vehicle in front before signalling and commencing your overtake.
Using the indicator earlier than perhaps one is used to, tells the system you are going to manoeuvre, at least it does on my Macan with the effect that it does not apply the brakes.

comes as standard now. You’re genuinely not missing much. Its really dull and when you’re driving its only bin lights in the doors, no footwell or ambient lighting.Seventy Seven wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 10:14 am Interior lighting. Only have overhead and would welcome some footwell, etc ambient lighting…. When did this become optional?!

not sure I specced anything I don’t want. 2 things I wish I had specced are BOSE (or better) and the painted sports side skirt thingies. Its not really about look it’s just that they’d be a lot easier to clean than the unpainted plastic.

no, not the sideblades, the bits under the sideblades. The sport ones are a little more sticky-out. I’m actually ok with the standard sideblades. Helps my car is volcano so they aren’t all that obvious
