Best options on your cayman 981

[Scottish981insch]

Hey Folks

There is a nice Cayman coming into our local dealerships that i am looking to purchase, but i noticed that it does not have PASM and a few other options i was looking for.

With that being said, if i decide to order my own i was wondering if there were any options that others have that you like or dislike and what you would have added if you had the chance ?

Thanks

For me this is a massive purchase so i want to make sure i have it 100% or as close as possible.

Options i was thinking about that are not on the vehicle coming in are:

PASM
Bose
Carbon steering wheel
Bucket Seats - are they comfy for long trips ?
20" Carrera S in Satin (they are Black, but unsure if they are all black or partially with the lip stainless)

It has PDK, Sport Chrono Pack, and Sport Exhaust (which is what i wanted), but unsure if i should hold out and just order everything i want... More curious about the PASM opposed to what comes standard, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) incl. mechanically locking rear differential, and also if the power steering plus is any better or worse...

Probably going to get "each to there own answers" , but thought i would ask anyways...

Cheers

Guys

Thanks for the advice. I think maybe the best thing to do is go and see the car when it comes in and see what its like. Showed my 8 year old son a few pics and videos (with PSE) and he was like "man that's pretty awesome. Your crazy buying that awesome car " lol !

Had a E46 M3 CSL 6 years ago and after that it was family time and moved to Audi A4's and now currently 11' Q7. Finally in the position again to get a weekend toy (wife said i could treat myself for my 30th ) and I've grown up around Porsches so when the 981 cayman came out I knew it was going to my first. Must admit I have been tempted by a used r8 v10 's but after driving the cayman it leaves you wondering what more you could really want out of a car. Well excited , even writing this thinking about being a Porsche owner is giving me a massive grin on the face haha - Dad would be proud !

Only downfall is getting this car in Jan , not sure how many times it will actually get out the stable.

Any good Porsche club meets throughout the year to go to or any other meets worth heading to ?

Cheers

Depending on weather and how much salt they are throwing about in my neck of the woods will depend on if i get a set of winter tyres, but we'll see...May not be that bad

Thanks for the advice Moose, i'll need to have a look at that as its not something i was really paying attention to

Does anyone know if you can get an OPC to get full leather dash and door cards ordered and fitted if not on a vehicle they have ?

was it the yellowy greeny one i have seen in the village a few times?

Mine was grey and sold it quite a while ago. They did only come in black or grey so wouldn't have been mine...
