Glad you enjoyed your morning and had better conditions than I. Seems that Porsche are still persevering with the pdk buttons, as they were on my test car as well. I never had a problem with them as the Cayenne has similar, but I've opted for the paddles this time round. I'm taking notice of your comments as I know your driving style well and enjoyed a good few track laps in your passenger seat. It's too late for me to add the PDDC and it's another £2.2k, but the DEM is probably a half way house.

I noticed with the GTS if you specify the multifunction steering wheel it comes with PDF buttons, whereas the default wheel is the sport design, with paddles! So don't 'upgrade' to multifunction!
The odd thing about this demonstrator is that it has buttons but no multi-function - worst of both worlds! Almost as if they are using up the left overs from the 997........... []
Oh - and thought it had stalled at the first stop too...........[] put it in Sport after that!

BTW, the dealer view is that the turbo will be nowhere near the £140-150k numbers being bandied about on here - time will tell on that one)
£125k for the pretty much fully-specced 997 Turbo S, so my view was that the new 991 Turbo would be £130k - £140k depending on what they settle for as 'standard' spec.
I have a letter of intent for a 991 Turbo, so £135k plus a few options would be ok.

Yup, totally agree with all. The 991 is a quantum leap forward. Having had two PDK 997s, the 991 has addressed all my criticisms... a big improvement. And the inside is now high quality.
Downside? Well my petrol head saleslady thought it just too uninvolving, too perfect, but there is always the GT3. As for that silly sunroof, I don't think I'll spec it with my new Cab []
