I really enjoyed the adaptive cruise control, it worked perfectly. On the highway you can set your speed and not worry about approaching a slower car and having to shut off cruise control. I used it mostly in traffic, it makes stop a go traffic much less stressful....just set it and let the car do the work. I certainly would have gotten it again if I went PDK, I didn't find any downside.
As far rear axle steering I honestly haven't notice a difference yet, but I've had the car for 2 days. This car does not have the "acorn" issue when turning the steering wheel to lock and driving slowly.....perhaps this is due to the rear axle steering changing the turning diameter?
The one negative to rear axle steering I found is for winter tires/wheels. I have a set of 19" tires/wheels from my 991.1 that I assumed would fit the 991.2 It turns out they would fit UNLESS you have rear axle steering or ceramic brakes. With either of these options you have to use 20" winter tires/wheels. Look for my tires/wheels in the classified section soon.

Took advantage of the pull ahead program on my lease and swapped my '14 991.1 C4S Cab after 32 months and 22,500 miles for a '17 991.2 C4S Cab. Kept the same exterior colors: Sapphire Blue with a blue top. Interior went from black/beige to black/red. Went from PDK with Adaptive Cruise Control to MT and Rear Axle Steering.
I've included a couple of quick pictures.

Love it =)
Tell me, you are coming off a car without Rear Wheel Steering into a car with it.
Do you notice a difference? I've ticked that option for my car and wondering what a real life review would sound like.

On the road the car loves turns! More so than the 991.1? I think so but I honestly I don't know if it's me having more confidence because of the rear wheel steering or the rear wheel steering making a difference. Perhaps a little of both. Either way I'm glad I checked the option box!

Jeff,
I noticed you don't have PSE - or am I mistaken?
A lot of critics say the sound is not up to par.
What are your thoughts? I did not order PSE on my car, but all the other sports package options. I simply did not want a loud car in the quiet neighborhood I live in.

I know the debate is endless but for me I am very happy to have a MT. I feel more involved. I use the car for weekends and fun drives. If I tracked I would go PDK and if I used it as a DD I would add adaptive cruise control.

I did exactly the same. All of the sport package options except PSE. My 991.1 did not have PSE either, never felt the need for it. I also prefer the look of the 4 tips vs 2. My wife has been very supportive of my 911s. Her only comment....get whatever you want but do not get the LOUD button.
Love the 4 tips over the 2 center. I felt it looks so much more balanced. With the 4S...u have a wider body. the center pipes look out of place in my eyes. and yes, I didn't want the loud noise, especially since from what I hear, the exhaust on the "regular" is completely good and thrilling.

I'd buy that leaseback in a heartbeat. It's nice to see something different. I've noticed through the years(356, early 911), the most popular cars with the general public and Porsche people are the exotic color combinations. They stand out at the local and national concours, and always earn a people's choice award. Red interiors pop! Think silver and red on a 550 Spyder,black and red on a Speedster, or red and white on 991. Just my opinion....
