Some comfort options that really are worth it:
Select the Porsche Entry & Drive option, this way you can leave your keys in your pockets. Get the backup camera as well. Its a new options and works great with park assist. If you drive the car a lot the adaptive cruise is also very good. Lastly, get the Headlight Cleaning System Covers Painted in Exterior Color. This things look terrible when not painted. Hope this helps.

Thanks, it helps alot - I thought camera came with park assist. I'll have to check into this.

I had keyless entry with another car, and I was always nervous when walking awasy from the car if it was really locked or not, plus if (e.g. at a car show) the doors would be openable when I didn't want them to be just because I was in near proximity.

Hadn't thought about the washer covers.

I want to go out in style.

I was choosing the 18way because of my body and it's slow continual aging deterioration might like the adjustability down the road. Also, I thought I could use one of the memory settings to put the seat all the way back to make exit/entry easier.
I had them on my last TTS and didnt really think they were that great but options are very personal like color so you need to have exactly what you want!! Either way great car and super fast

FWIW you have some nice options. IMHO the Turbo/Turbo S wheels really make the car look good.

With the 911 you have to put your hand on the door with key in pocket to unlock door. So you will be safe at car shows.

Me thinks...
Good call on the 5 lug wheels, may not look as cool but way more service-able period. Have you considered the Agate interior with Rhodium? I've seen a C4S in that combo and a dealer in NH has that combo in stock in a Turbo with the classic wheels for you to see the impression...

Color washer jets, yes
Keyless, maybe not
Dial color- white looks great with the orange needles
Center console in leather ( on side of shiter console)
Aluminum fuel cap- go for it, it's cool as heck

Seats- Comfort, ease of use- getting in and out...is all about the 14 way seats. Still gives you cushion extension, lumbar, and memory.
