I drive a Tesla which comes with everything pretty much as standard, paying £300 for heated seats on a £60k car is alien to me.

Up to recently you had to pay £1K + for Sat Nav !!!!!

Welcome, gaz!

I'd recommend the heated steering wheel. And consider adding the spare wheel too.

I agree with this. Piano black is a fancy term for shiny black plastic. Once I learned that the no-cost (but more valuable resource-wise) black aluminum was an option I would pick it every time. Suits GTS character well and no fingerprints. It was specced on all Porsche Driving Experience 911GTS’s and was understated and great.

Load space configuration is really useful. Controls all the usual crap in the back. I will never have a car without Entry and drive—life much easier. Can config so it only opens 1 door, not all.

We were hit by drunk driver in our GLA250 merc that had rear side airbags that protected our 2year old. Small price to pay for her.

Oh and get Voice control if you haven’t noticed that—it’s free!

Cheers!

White Wheels? not sure I'd go that route.

Agree. The original black spyders might be an alternative?

I think I read on the Porsche web site about keyless entry, that they cannot ensure that the signal could no be hacked. If you go into the configurater and click info on keyless drive , I think it’s written there, I have it on my BM, I didn’t spec it on the GTS for this reason, although l will miss the function .

I second that. It also stops annoying reflections.

Agreed. When I first saw the picture of your car in the configurator, I'd assumed that they were GT silver wheels.

Sport Classic 21" wheels are great, but on a white car, I'd go with those wheels in gloss black, platinum grey or GT silver.

Colour and wheel were my wife's choice, it her car after all.

Changed the piano black to brushed aluminium, kept the keyless drive as I believe you can remove the dummy key.

Spare wheel and airbags also added.

Spec locked down now.
