718 Cayman.......just ordered..options to have ?
Discussion
No discount, not offered on Tax or Swissvax (car paint protection), in spite of me threatening to purchase a Jag F type which was great to drive.
Mine not spec'd yet, wanted del in March but told to take in Nov/dec so not to incur poss price increase in Jan (Brexit)
Demo 718 Boxster, had Chrono & OMG couldn't take full advantage as went from 65 to 120 well within the 20s of pushing button on s wheel.......already had 1 heart attack, didn't want another !
This will be my first Porsche so I'd be glad of any observations...........

Getting the 718 for fun & wow experience..........wiil be doing 5-7k a year, little in town, country roads & dual carr.
When I was younger had hard rides, but now retired probably prefer comfy ride.
Options I will probably have, cream leather interior, entry & drive, rev camera & sensors, rear wiper, folding mirrors, PDK, power steering, 64lt, 20inch Carrera S platinum, rain sensor, GT st wheel, 18w sports seats, climate, PCM.

DJMC.........mny thx for that - most informative...so it looks like PASM then............ no to sports exhaust & chrono
But had to pay the extra for cream leather seats as did not like the red although nearly every cayman & boxster has it along with black, I just wanted something I liked plus to be a bit different.
Cruise control.....am not a fan as I like to play with the throttle + keeps me awake as am not on autopilot yet !!
& thx for everyone's comments............ anyone manage to get a discount ?.........although was offered one on stock cayman 2.7 with loads of options but preferred look of 718 plus I didn't want a white car.................

Rear Wiper, am probably going to have it as I think will be useful, lots of rain in uk & will save me clearing rear window by hand before setting off, mind you £234 is a bit steep !
Other comments re 20inch wheels............As I've never spent 50k on a vehicle before & it's probably once in a lifetime for me, I thought the Carrera S platinum with agate grey car looked great, much better than 18 or 19 inch design.
I think it's all about putting that smile on one's face !

Sorry haven't responded, but death in family...........
Anyways great input & now rethinking my seat option as it looks like leather interior/leather seats in black crayon two tone interior the config picture looks like seat surrounds are leather & sitting area looks like sportex but not real leather.
Wonder if you can get agate grey leather interior with crayon or cream leather seat surround with sportex seating area ? as seats won't be cold in winter & won't become sweaty in warm weather.........
Now gone off idea of rear wiper as gtechnig polish would keep window clear, & would keep lines of car clean

Good to hear your news, excellent xmas pressy !
Put my deposit down 4th July, not heard anything yet.
But am changing spec after reading various comments............no rear wiper as sounds like a good glass polish would keep the rear screen clear, adding cruise control, & deleting speed limit warnings as I assume you can set cruise control for 30 or 40 ?
Still making up my mind about seats......... leather interior/ sportex seats or full leather.
