One of my must haves was the aero kit.

Active cruise is a stand-alone option so, fortunately for you, not every car will have it. An S is itself a package. If you don’t want CL and PCCBs, a TT might be more cost-effective. S cars with PCCBs but with 5 bolt wheels instead of CL are hard to find. But if you do want both, the S has just about everything you would want, as others noted. Porsche priced the S so that if you optioned a TT comparably, the S would be at or slightly below the resulting new car sticker, but has the bonus of extra HP. I agree a .1S is probably the best deal at the moment on a used turbo if you want CL and PCCBs.

Well if you get the aero kit you will need the front end lift.

Having AMG's and other vehicles with the full glass or a regular sunroof I rarely used them. With vehicles, the glass roof adds weight. There are other threads discussing this. Knowing I'd rarely if ever use it I opted to not get the glass roof.
I was back and forth between the different steering wheels and am glad I found a S with the multi function wheel.
Heated and cooled seats are very nice and recommended.
You wouldn't think much about Entry and Drive till you have it. Its very nice.
20-in wheels are listed as an option. Get them but I'd pass on the center lock rims. Get a flat with CL's likely means flat bedding to a dealer or home to get proper tooling to remove the rim. Who wants to carry all that tooling in the frunk? Not me.

Have fun looking, its a blast !

I have a 991.2 and it f'ing awesome. The only thing I kinda wish is to have ordered the keyless entry. A small annoyance. But there is nothing lacking in performance and ability in any 991 Turbo S for the peeps that appreciate an excellent, vibrant, road king killer car, with any option they choose.

You're really better off without keyless entry IMHO. I don't have it, either and I don't really miss it, as the convenience is offset by the anxiety! https://www.wired.com/2017/04/just-p...can-steal-car/
