Picked up my touring today and unfortunately, hit rain that was not forecasted. Fortunately, it was dry around home. Here're some initial impressions after a along, exhausting day (got up at 4:00 to get some work done):
- as stated previously, I love White more than expected. The car looks so much better in person
- love the LWB's, they are very comfortable and fit me well
- PCCB's already squeak a little...doesn't bother me
- engine sound from inside reminds me of air cooled 911's - I like that
- noise at freeway speeds was much less than expected. Noise was only somewhat high on rough/old asphalt
- standard radio is much better then expected. Glad I didn't spend the money on Bose
- as noted many times, very difficult to stay under 4,000 RPM
- I love how stealthy the touring is
- can't wait to drive the car tomorrow
- the car is spectacular and seems to get better with every mile

Loving the black 'Porsche' lettering on the back btw, it gives a bit more interesting contrast. Congrats!
nice pictures, you have any from the front that you can share?

Chris, looks gorgeous in white with silver trim/wheels! The Touring interior looks much better than the non-touring.
Oldmxnut, white seat-belts would be a mistake, IMO. I prefer black belts in general but white would be especially wrong both from contrast perspective (too strong) and keeping them white/clean.

+1 on the touring interior being better then non touring.

PCCB’s squeal will improve over time (couple thousand miles).

Some answers and comments:
- My color is plain White, with Satin Aluminum wheels
- I love the seat material, seams softer and more grippy than striped version
- White seat belts sound interesting (if they were available), but I like the my "basic" interior...sort of old school
- good to hear about brake squeal, although a little is sorta race car cool
- I'll take some more photos today and include the front

Beautiful car. While people have differing experiences , the PCCBs on my 991.1 still squeal after 12,000 miles. I've had to do a kind of bedding in procedure a few times. I do find though that after the wheel area is washed the squealing goes away....until it reappears 😆

There’s a brake bedding procedure that eliminates the noise. I did every time I installed new pads and never had noise in my PCCBs.
