Car is my wife's so not driven it much myself yet!

I had heard someone "dropped" in to Porsche Wolverhampton to collect a car yesterday!

That's one of the best-looking 991s I have seen. I think it's the wheels. They look great.

Surely a small points deduction for heated steering wheel is in order, however?

Ok fair point well made! In our defence we have heated wheel in other cars and it is lovely in winter. Also if you want multifunction its with heated!

Yup, that works. Very flash entrance

If you're ever passing West Wilts (we moved), do drop in - in the Porsche!. The garden's not big enough for the chopper

What a way to collect a car (and a beautiful car at that, good choice! , brilliant.

I wish I was around Wolverhampton at the time, would've been interesting to see.

Thanks! Bit of fun.

Now all protected by a Williams Ceramic coating by Auto Curators of Hampshire.

[edo]

thank you. Paint is really nice - amazing how even a new car can have imperfections and a day with a professional can improve so much.

Loving the manual gearbox, and the smaller GT wheel.

[edo]

Only with optional PSE

Thought it might feel lacking after my 3.8 gts but it really doesnt. IMHO the turbos really help fill in the mid range. Still sounds great, and still loves revs. It really doesnt feel lacking and in the limited time inhave spent in it has all the performance you can realistically use on the road. For the babybof the range it doesn't feel short changed at all. Every control from steering to brakes and geabox just feels right.

Biased but it feels lile the sweet spot and best value in the 911 range to me. Assuming of course you can call 80k value. Consifer you can spend well.over 50-60k for a well specified 5 series and it doesnt seem so silly.....

Excluding the roof, I cannot help but think that most of that equipment should be standard.

Cruise control!

Cant disgaree.

To clarify the wheels are included (How generous)

[edo]

Delighted with the seats too - only Porsche could charge more for a mix of full leather and "sport-tex", but it brings the deviated stitching which really uplifts the interior, and non leather in the seat centres is a bonus in very cold or very hot weather IMHO.

[edo]

If anyone else has a Porsche with the new PCM4 and the base in the arm rest - should that do wireless charging by the way?

Ooh! Nice! I'd love to replace the 140 with an F10 M5... the prices are nose diving.

They always dive in the first year, but have levelled out now new supply has stopped.
