3 years for me on ACC. Twice for the sunroof.

I use both all the time! Voice control is great for multiple uses. ACC is particularly helpful on long pleasant highway cruises and when needing to maintain 25 or 30 MPH in extended residential areas with minimal traffic. Of course, whenever possible, I leave the highway in favor of two-lane roads with minimal traffic and minimal LEOs....

Very little drive time in my 991 TTS, but for the short time i drove it in heavy Los Angeles traffic, adaptive cruise was a godsend. Se it to a maximum speed on 90mph and it would negotiate heavy traffic like a champ. Just steer and relax, no stress.

I would think living in LA would defeat the purpose of owning a Turbo, ACC or not...

The metamorphosis of a sports car to an option laden luxury car that weighs like one.

Just sold my turbo S 991.2 which I purchased new in March 2017. Car had done 6000 miles and was heavily optioned.
Porsche dealer offered a very good price on the spot as they had a number of customers looking for high specification.
I loved the ACC and Blind Spot. Also had cooled seats and Aero Pack, loads of additional leather, contrast stitching everywhere
along with the more usual options.
I have been told no more 991 turbo S are to be produced as Porsche have stopped production until legal issues have been resolved regarding emissions.
I think this will help used values.
This supply problem is not unique to the 991 as I believe most of the Porsche range is affected.

I had that stuff on my BMW and had to turn it off... TERRIBLE! LCA was god awful. Maybe the implementation with Porsche is better.

Blind spot was OK... I guess. ACC was pointless. I use sunroof all the time.

Having recently bought my car CPO.......I found I can live without FAL and Adaptive Cruise Control........car pretty much has everything else except voice control.............It would be nice, but Apple Play takes care of voice commands through Siri, etc.....
