Personally, I wouldn’t be able to live with the clashing yellow and red.

It’s an easy fix.

Easy? Not sure I’d want to paint the callipers, or change the interior….

[Frankychops]

I’d have to change the wheel, however I’d take mag wheels/carbon ceramics/‘packed’ car over a perfect colour combo

[Frankychops]

This looks even better

With you, colour combo over the ridiculous cost of mag wheels replacements, never understand these on a road car. 4 people I know take them off, put them in the garage and will only put them on when it’s time to sell. Pointless.

They’re not a problem, I’ve had them on cars and bikes without issue.

I do prefer the other car with the painted bonnet, just a little ‘dull’ looking possibly.

I do find it odd that it's desirable to have all the exposed "at risk" parts of a modern uber sports/super car be made of carbon. The bits that are gonna get hit, scraped, kicked and clipped I'd definitely want in a less valuable material. (The splitter on my Spyder for example - a disposable item

but you can ppf it! I hear you cry.... yeah add lightness with carbon, add weight and even more cost with a sheet of plastic film... funny old world.

It’s all just brilliant marketing by the manufacturers to rinse significant extra sums from customers who “must have” these over priced offerings. What makes it worse is that despite spending massive sums, there’s usually zero performance benefit!

Another nice little earner is that PTS was only available with the WP, so almost £20k if you wanted the colour of your choice.

having bounced around every car I can see. This is the front runner

does warranty extension cost the same as the rest of the 718 range? this one does seem a bit more joined up colour wise!!

Yep.

Quite shocked how many of these cars for sale with low miles are rejected cars due to the Roof not closed message, unbelievable that Porsche haven't managed to definitively solve it after 18 months.

How do you know the number on sale that have been rejected, and for that reason?

Thank you, good to know.

Few boring questions .

What s the motorway range at 70ish?

Can you have the roof on but back window out? On my 650s you can drop the rear glass which is good in the rain.

Is the roof warning still a thing?

Any other character things?

Is the roof ok above 124, ie just starts flapping? And becomes noisy?
