Hi guys, finally got my 718 GT4 and what a machine. It's exceeded all expectations.

I do however have a few questions I was hoping you guys could answer.

1. Are there any options within the settings where you can enable PDK Sport, exhaust valve open and disable start-stop by default? My car seems to be remember the suspension setting but none of the others. It's not a biggie but thought I'd ask.

2. Has anyone experienced any steam coming out of the vent from the front bonnet? This has happened to me twice now and when the steam hits the windscreen, visibility literally drops to nil. I think this might be caused by the radiators and my Porsche guy has said the same.

3. Do the 18-way sports seats have a memory function?

4. Does the GT4 have side mirror tilt when reversing?

Thanks

I can only answer 2. since my GT4 is a very early 981

... the steam is most likely from the brakes when driven in the wet evaporating splashed water which is then condensing on your cold windscreen ...

... or water on the outside of a wet radiator being evaporated off as it heats up ... or a fan starts ??

Enjoy your car smile
Cheers mate. I think you may be right as it's been raining here since yesterday evening.

There is no OEM facility to do this, there are aftermarket solutions that easily plug in and will remember which buttons have been pressed and will leave them in that last known state.

Looked into this but it seems with newer 718's, there's no where to mount the box and the manufacturer recommends cutting out a hole to mount it. Definitely will not be doing that haha.

I'm suspecting it's due to the rain and cold weather as both times I experienced this, it was raining and very cold. Will keep an eye on coolant level though just to be safe.
