997 Must Have Options?

Done.
Those who have a 997, or those who have ordered a 991 based on their 997 experiences, would you select (for example) heated seats? light package?
Depends what you want from the car. The 911 can be specced to be sports orientated or more luxury orientated. Neither is right or wrong.Those who have a 997, or those who have ordered a 991 based on their 997 experiences, would you select (for example) heated seats? light package?
I'd get sports seats, if the interior is plastic, I'd upgrade it to leather, carpet mats (of course) and other than that I'd say everything else is down to personal taste. I'd get heated seats if mine weren't alcantara and mine has parking sensors, which are useful. I think it's easy to go nuts with the options but my car only has a few choice bits, which add to the experience without going crazy!

Don't bother with cruise control, no where to rest your foot when using it!
There's a footrest in mine? (GTS)
No car has an accelerator footrest to my knowledge!As its floor hinged you can't put your foot under it. Sitting with my leg bent and foot on mat felt uncomfy and resting my foot on the accelerator felt like a waste of time!
Foot rest is on the left! Used Cruise Control all the time on my old mondeo but rarely used it on my C2S and havent got it on my RS and don't miss it.
Seems I'm alone on this though! Anyway, healthy debate that's what forums are for!

when I drive normally I don't really use the clutch rest. But on the motorway I use it a lot. If I bought a car without a clutch rest, then it's on the motorway that I'd miss it most (when using cruise control). Anyway, as you can't buy a car with an accelerator foot rest, I assumed perhaps incorrectly that the chap meant that the 997 didn't have a clutch rest. Sorry, if I've misunderstood here!Anything but wood interior..
Seriously, proper paddle shift wheel if you are going PDK, if they are persisting with the buttons as standard. Rest is just preference, but obviously if its not going to be run until it dies certain options can hurt resale.
Also, anyone have an ETA on the OPCs getting demo 991?
