Collected my car just over a week ago, but have been busy so only now posting some pics. The car looks brilliant and very pleased with how I specced it.
A few thoughts having driven it a few miles
Power steering plus - so glad I added this at the last minute. Wasn't on my initial order, but the salesman at the dealer convinced me to add it. It's just the right weight at parking speeds and loads up nicely as the speed increases. Bit of a no brainer for me now
Air suspension - I went for the GTS specific suspension, and I think it's great. It's much better than my previous BMW X3M (not exactly a high standard I know), but it just glides over most imperfections in Comfort mode. I've only tried Sport a few times, but that nicely tightens things up; it's no 911, but it's great for what the car is.
Power - Enough for the kind of car. I see some (generally those from over the pond) saying that Porsche need to up their game, but I just don't think it needs any more. It's enough for this kind of car, and sounds pretty nice with the sports exhaust engaged.
Bose - I find it really good, and was concerned that I should have gone for the Burmeister, but I'm more than happy with what I've got.
Ambient lighting - can't be so positive about everything as I think it's really poor. The lighting in the BMW was really nice, but this feels really half assed. Not something that bothers me much, but I just wanted to bring a bit of balance to my post!
Overall, I really love the car and the qualify feels on another level.

Very smart. Nice to see a GTS without the all black wheel option, one of my pet hates.

Lovely, my favourite wheels and if Carmine always looked that bright I'd like that too!

Good choice on all the black accents - really works on Carmine. Those wheels also a fav - had them on a Papaya loaner, nice with the black detailing.
