Cayman GTS 4.0

Premium is tempting but doesn't have any must-haves for us. The only interesting features are PDLS+ and the heated wheel. LCA is a don't care, as is the rest. At $3,500, not hard to pass up.

I wouldn't mind memory seats but as Josh said, I'm not paying $3k for that. I'd prefer manual seats but obviously not an option these days. Between only two drivers (and realistically it'll be me most of the time) memory is not critical. And I definitely don't want the full buckets. Call me soft. The RX-8 has a Kirkey so if I want my fill of brutal power and minimalist seats I've got that.

For $1200, the LED lights with PDLS+ as a standalone option is tempting. Adding the heated wheel adds another $800. Ugh. equ has me thinking.

edit: Marisa says the LED headlights look stupid, so they're out. Heated multifunction wheel is in, as are ventilated seats. Deletion of model designation on the rear as well. Rear wiper is out. Total is just over $92k. Almost seems like a bargain?

Looks nice, but... fire extinguisher?

Lol yeah I was going to pass on Premium too, because most of it is meh, but I want the good stereo and keyless entry or whatever and at that point the premium package just isn’t that much more.

The stereo is directly behind you

I couldn't figure out from the configurator... do any / all of the stereos have bluetooth audio? Modern car so I'd assume yes, but German, so...

No interest in Apple auto or Android carplay or whatever.

I will comment that power seats without memory are WAYYY more annoying than manual seats. Having experienced that in the past, I would never do it again by choice.

I would hope Bluetooth is standard, might even get a CD player too

But the GTS is obviously more useable on the street

You are right, not much more.

I just watched the Doug D gt3 touring yt video and he said he would take the gt4 over it unless you had obscene amounts of money. GT3 you are losing the rear seats so might as well go mid engine
