I left out a couple of sentences accidentally:
Since the auto-on stop/start feature is 'recent' - certainly for MY'17 perhaps for some '16s - the reason there's not more b1+ching may be because the majority of 991s are - for the moment - older than MY'17 and thus default to the last mode.

Moreover, now that Porsche is another cog in the vast VW combine and the new cars come with VW parts such as plastic oil drain plugs, it isn't asking too much to fit a decent voice activation system from the Audi parts bin.

I didn't order this car, but scoured daily for 4-months to find it. Best - full leather, Agate, sport design/ducktail, 7MT with GT4 shifter, PSE, SPASM, Carrera S OEM wheels - light strong, beautiful.
Only thing it's missing: rear PDC.
Least fav: Bose stereo for sure, sh*tty location/operation of electric handbrake.
Wouldn't bother with Lane Change control all the extra doodads on a .2 if I were ordering one. Not needed unless it's a commuter car IMO.

From the “2017 Teknik Introduction” document from Porsche:
The previous MOST 25 data bus has been replaced by the MOST 150 data bus for the infotainment system. MOST stands for “Media Oriented System Transport”. This is a serial data bus system for transmitting audio, video, voice and data signals via an optical fiber. The MOST 150 is present in the vehicle whenever a BOSE/Burmester digital amplifier is installed.
The illustration shows the components connected to the MOST ring. If a digital amplifier is not installed, the MOST ring is omitted from the vehicle. The display control panel (DCU) is connected to the PCM 4/central computer via an internal PCM CAN.

Worst feature on my 991.2 GTS Coupe: Parking sensors. I don't need them, visibility is great, part of driving a sports car is to be aware of your surroundings and develop a sense for the edges. Every time I start the car in my garage or the garage at work I get yelled at by the sensors. even though the parking brake is on and the car is stationary. Absolute stupidity of design. So first thing I do is disable it with the button. In the end I installed my old tow hook mount from the 981 GTS since the sensors were driving me crazy anyway.

I feel like no seat ventilation is going to feel super strong. Maybe people wanted cooled seats instead? Coolong is probably more noticeable feel-wise but maybe less effective at keeping your butt fresh in the long run? The vented seats were great for road tripping 101 from CA-WA and back again.

One option I would consider in a future build is the rear wiper. I’m no fan of the aesthetics but I am a big fan of visibility and that rear window can be a real problem. I bought a silicone squeegee to keep in the car.
