Current build sheet below. Smoking Package might come off. I am not a smoker, but I have been informed via my SA that the ashtray/cup makes a good change holder. If you buy it after the fact from Suncoast you are going to pay nearly $90 for it. I may or may not add the Porsche crest armrest or the ‘Bespoke Logo on Center Console Lid’ with the 911 Carrera T logo. Both might be a bit much with 911 stitched in black in the head rest as standard.

Edit: I would like something subtle to differentiate mine from the other Shark Blue T currently in town. So far that is only the aluminum pedals and the silver grey belts. I could do the RS wheels, which I do like, but truthfully I do not want to clean them. They also take the clean exterior design of the 992 and make it look rather busy.

Dealers always add the smoking package. I imagine it's for a reason--and yes, I think it adds just a tad of usable storage to an otherwise spartan interior. We had it in the Boxster.

At least on the Boxster it also adds another power point; not sure about the 911. Plus it gives the console a more finished look. I’ve never used it but don’t regret getting it.

Unfortunately, no additional power point on the 992.

That must be why. I did not drive the Boxster much, so a bit vague on features. I preferred the ease and relatively languid experience of driving my 2. Also, visibility was so much better.

Agreed.
Thanks —I love having the seats. And then being able to flip them down to form a nice shelf behind the rear seats —the added “weight” is offset by you choosing 4 way seats versus the 18 way seats, IMHO.

18 ways seem like an overkill to me. I always had better luck finding a comfortable seating position with manual seats versus electric. It is unfortunate that the 4 way seats are not fully manual.

Seats are really subjective, I find the 18 ways uncomfortable being they are tight around the shoulders, I find the 14 way seats the best at least for me.
