How would you spec your 992 GTS?
Discussion
If you have the multi-adjustable 14/18 way seats there are almost too many permutations for adjustments - so you definitely need the ‘memory’ function, otherwise it’s a pain to re-find the correct setting when someone else has moved them.
At one time I thought they were a ‘must have’, but now agree, the basic manual sports seats are equally comfortable and very easier and intuitive to re-adjust quickly.
As a weight, complexity and cost saving, I would now prefer the simpler option.

If anyone has comfort access, perhaps you can help me.
When I walk up to the car, the door handles and wing mirrors open automatically. I may be walking past the car on foot and cannot avoid this happening. Is there a setting perhaps which requires me to touch the door handle before it opens, as this can be fairly annoying otherwise.

I have the 18 ways because I was told they would be amazingly comfortable and were a must have but I agree, some pointless adjustments just for the sake of it. I also find that the bolsters on the base do not move wide enough and pinch my hips. I know I sit right back in the seat but I’m not particularly big (6” amd 95kg). If I was ordering again I think the sports seats would be of interest.

can we talk about the rws?
real world benefit? it's 1.5k and contributes weight.
I’m running a GTS with RWS alongside a C2S without RWS for a few weeks and I think RWS makes a big difference to the handling of the car. I’m sold on it….real world benefit? it's 1.5k and contributes weight.
Somehow the car feels smaller tighter and sharper into and out of corners.
Hi, albeit I love reading all your posts, I haven’t been on here myself for quite some time - but something has happened to prompt me to seek your opinions!
I have been enjoying my new shark blue 911 GTS since late July but today I noticed what I thought was one of my straggly grey hairs lying on top of the spoiler (original spoiler, not the optional wing). When I tried to flick it away, I discovered it was not a hair at all but a noticeable deep three inch scratch which, given the vicinity on the vehicle, I can only put down to vandalism. No idea where this occurred, be it on my drive or when parked elsewhere.
Bearing in mind that this is a brand new car, would you:
1. Leave/ignore the scratch,
2. Use a local/mobile “Chips Away” type firm (in which case i’d worry about invalidating the warranty), or
3. Ask my Porsche dealership to fix it (at much greater expense, obviously).
With all the cumulative experience on here I’d be grateful for any advice you guys have.

Thanks Pincher. Thinking about it all, it’s not so much about the money as the convenience! My thinking is it is only one panel (effectively) and do I really want to visit the dealership with all the inconvenience that entails on such a trivial matter? Having said this, yes, I’m inclined to agree with you. Peace of mind and all that!

Assuming it’s just a scratch through the top layer of paint and lacquer, and not through to the primer, I’d be inclined to polish it with some compound to remove the worst of it, you may even be able to totally hide it. The panel is made from grp, so you’ve got no concern about corrosion etc. I have been enjoying my new shark blue 911 GTS since late July but today I noticed what I thought was one of my straggly grey hairs lying on top of the spoiler (original spoiler, not the optional wing).

Unfortunately, yes, I can feel the whole scratch with my fingernail. It is white underneath so I take it that would be the primer? The local Chips Away team very kindly said they would pop around on Monday afternoon, take a look, and provide a no-obligation quotation for me. Whether I use them or not, I should be able to get a better idea of where to go from here.
I appreciate all your comments and advice. You’ll all empathise with this scenario, I’m sure.

Has anyone added an Akrapovic exhaust as yet? I’m at 3,000 miles now and whilst I don’t want it to be ridiculous, I feel like my GTS could do with a little more sound and am considering the slip on Akrapovic exhaust?
would be easier and more cost effective to add a bit of soundproofing inside, then you will be able to hear the porsche sports exhaust
