The "slippery" feeling is just all the grease from the hands. No need of magic cleaner. Jus use some dishsoap, and a soft tooth brush, and a microfiber cloth to wipe it after brushing. It will return to original brand new feel. I have leather steering wheel on GTS but have used this method to clean alcantara on many other cars.

I have alcantara steering on my Cayman S, wife's cayenne GTS has GTS Alcantara package and I have kept all of the above looking new and fresh using Sonax Alcantara Cleaner. It's pricey but truly works wonders.

I was skeptical of all the Alcantara in an SUV which we have used for all family trips for 6+ yrs now, and it has stood the test of time. My kids were 13 and 14 at the time, we also had a 4 yr old... all grew up in that car with Alcantara on all seats, it still looks great , dare I say looks the same as when we bought the car.
I vote for Sonax

A little upgrade with the GT4 ****, leather material, feels really good and looks a little special inside.

Hoping the GTS experts could give thoughts on this build... 2015 White, Manual trans with 13k miles

99-911

Nice Specs..
I wished it had the sport plus seats.

I agree, very nice build except the 18-way seats (which can be added later no problem)

Manual + Sport Design (prob 1-2 cars in the country for sale at any one time)+ Sport PASM+ PDLS+ (one of the must haves for me)

Get a DME report and PPI.. and enjoy

Thanks for the feedback. Thoughts on the lack of center-locks? It has 5 lug wheels and it seems that almost all others I see are center-lock.

If it wasn't white it would definitely be an easier decision but with so few available I just might have to be ok with it.

Given your assessment of the rarity of 991.1 GTS 7MT on offer atm, lack of center lock is not a problem, you can always retrofit them ($$) if you really like them or put the 5 lugs RS Spyder wheels of the 991.2.

wrt color, it’s more difficult. I passed on a couple of 991.1 Targa 4 GTS 7MT which were blue, silver or red because I really wanted a black one and I did not want to respray a car. But it took me 5 years of waiting for a black one to appear on market.

That was actually one of my next questions... is there a spyder wheel OEM option that fits. It doesn't look like it was an option for the 2015 GTS and I didn't see anything with a quick Suncoast check. So the 991.2 Spyder wheels will fit then?

As far as center-lock I guess I prefer the look but DON'T prefer the inconvenience. I see so few with 5 lugs though... I just want to make sure it doesn't make it undesirable and really ding resale. It's already white after all!

Watson

Indeed, 5 lugs spyder wheels were introduced only on 991.2 - I do not know if they would fit on a 991.1 GTS but many here fitted them on their 991.1 base or S.

I think the 5 lugs offsets will not affect reselling price when based on the few adds I have seen in the past for 991.1 GTS 7MT.

So DME came in at 249 Range 1, and just 1 Range 2, no hits 3 and up.

To me they're a plus. I have the 5 lugs and it makes life so much easier. The only thing I don't like is that it makes my GTS look like an S.

So the PO used it for milk runs to the corner store, and to go to church on Sunday. :-)

lol...yes it sure seems like it has had a very sad and boring life as a GTS grocery getter.
