I did deliberate regarding GTS interior - but didn't think it was worth it as you get extended leather and alcantara as part of the GTS model in any case - I didn't really like the carbon add ons and I wanted a black centre dial like my 997 GTS - deviated stitching is nice - but I can take it or leave it.
So I spent the money on the seats and the exterior colour - GT silver which is really special. Only slight regret is not getting DAB - but I can do that with my iPOD/Phone.
Model designation delete - just because I think i wanted a clean looking car and all the badges on the back is bit of a pain for cleaning.
Nice spec. Adaptive seats are fab and well worth getting IMHO.U2 GT Silver Metallic

Like the spec! I was driving mine on SS today and being dry and winding B type roads here today I was reminded how wonderfully balanced and agile the car is. The SS is not harsh and in my humble opinion sublime. Presumably your spec is with the standard sports steering wheel with paddles? I didn't spec the 18 way seats which -currently- I am not regretting as I find the seats to be fine with manual adjustability (usually only me drives it though so once set it stays like that for weeks ;-). I did spec seat cooling though... Can't opine on their efficiency or usefulness as the seat heating has been in use so far, but I have had that option on a Nissan and used it more than I expected to in the summer.U2 GT Silver Metallic

Posting very late as I have been driving all day - I love this car.
GT Silver, Carrera S Partial Painted, X73 - Standard GTS Interior, Leather Console Surround.
I still consider GT Silver optimal on the CGTS, and although biaised, every time I see my racing yellow BGTS I don't think it can be beaten on the Boxster:GT Silver, Carrera S Partial Painted, X73 - Standard GTS Interior, Leather Console Surround.

Can't disagree, stunning cars TDT & cibble10. Yellow and Black an awesome combo on the Boxster, and think the GTS exterior, wheels (and black number plate 
really make it!nsm3 said:
It's pretty noticeable imvho - there are a couple of right/lefts near mine, where at (ahem) speed, you can feel it doing its thing - I can easily carry 5mph more than I felt comfy doing in my GT3 through there.
I was hoping it would be quite subtle in its activation. Oh we'll! Shame you can't spec LSD separately. Does it feel like traction control in its application?
