718 GTS waiting list/orders/ Chat
Discussion
Hi all,
Thought to jump into the forum and share.
After some deliberation walked out of my OPC with a deposit on a 718 CGTS - My Spec
Can't wait to see it in the flesh. Its my first Porsche and counting down the days till April....Just need to tell the Mrs what I've done.
Look forward to seeing a few more being delivered over the next few months.

The only item I'd say is a must have that you have missed off is the 2 zone climate control.
Did you know that without this you don't even have climate control, just manual a/c?
The auto dimming mirrors are also something that I couldn't do without.
The standard lights are also pretty average and not that bright but if you are driving in well lit areas this shouldn't be a problem.
Hope that helps!

Agreed - would also be interested to hear (since I have an order in).
I have to say I like the sound of the base and S models in the flesh, even though it seems to sound bad on YouTube. Hoping the GTS is the same, or indeed better.
Not struck on the exhaust note on the 4 cylinders sounds a bit agricultural to me.I have to say I like the sound of the base and S models in the flesh, even though it seems to sound bad on YouTube. Hoping the GTS is the same, or indeed better.
Otherwise great car

Thanks for the input, saw a 911 C4S in crayon with satin alloys. I had to copy it...The only item I'd say is a must have that you have missed off is the 2 zone climate control.

I won't be dailying the GTS so may get away with not having Climate control. Tbh it should be standard on a 70k car!! There are a few more creature comforts I'd love to have but with a wedding to pay for in August I was really strict on myself and managed to keep under my £70k budget.
I told the Mrs last night im going through my late 20s crisis, and id chosen a car over another woman....she was not impressed.
Ps. What spec you go for?

i might be using it wrong but i'm not a fan of dual climate either. i have the fan set to soft but on Auto the fan for me is always too loud and i feel that in cold weather the car doesn't warm up as quickly as it does when i manually control it (i.e. set max temp on low fan for a while and when car warms up drop temp as needed).

If you have a noise issue on soft, I suspect you have a problem - leaves in the system? True it takes a while to get up to temp in the cold (heated seats are the best solution)Mark07 said:
I had a 981S before and its not as angry.
I have not had much to do with the 718 or 718S but after hearing all the comments in the media I was half expecting a Porsche Fiesta...... But the sound made me smile and what more can you ask for.
Great ! Have you heard it at high revs? I had a 981 GTS, and was so disappointed with the 718S with sports exhaust I drove. I loved it on start up, but massively missed the change in tone as the revs rose. I'm so hoping they have nailed it with the GTSI have not had much to do with the 718 or 718S but after hearing all the comments in the media I was half expecting a Porsche Fiesta......
