I looked carefully on the configurator and do not see anywhere the choice to forgo the lightweight glass. I wouldn’t want to but someone suggested you could.

I love the look of the dark glass panel roof, in pictures. Still waiting for my delivery with glass sunroof. Are we the only ones with glass? Am I alone without rear axel sterring? I did not have a choice to spec it on the showroom floor. Will the car still be amazing without ras?

I have the sunroof and no RAS. The car is still fun, but my problem is I can't get comfortable in the base seats. No matter what I do, its still uncomfortable. Am I the only one?

You could in 2018, but not on the 2019 cars.

If you add the rear wiper, it will tell you it is required to remove lightweight glass and indicates the option code. Then remove the wiper and you will be left with "delete lightweight glass" So it is in there, but isn't listed specifically anywhere.

All I will say is it’s not as cut and dry as some make it.

It’s your choice, not ours, and there is no ethos here.

I wanted the T. That’s why I ordered it. I wanted RWS. I wanted lightweight, super clear glass. I wanted the T interior package. That’s why I ordered those.

I know this may be treasonous, but I wanted PDK. I love PDK. in sport plus, it changed the entire character of the car.

I drove manual for many years and also gave it up years ago.

God forbid I even had the temerity to get a glass sunroof. And entry and drive.

Bottom line: advice from knowledgeable folks is great. Except when it steps over or crushes a line by laying down a law that doesn’t exist.
Agreed. There is no one single perfect/ideal spec for a T. If say 1,000 are bought, it is conceivable that all 1,000 could have subtly different spec combinations. If Porsche believed there was one perfect spec for the T, or any model, they would not be backward in saying so.

We are all different, have different preferences and use our Porsches in different ways.

I’ve also had a Macan. And my T is my second 911, and definitely my favourite Porsche so far!

I look forward to seeing and hearing about your T.

My T doesn’t have RAS, and I still think it’s amazing. I’ve done 5,373 miles in it already and have had no issues with parking or low speed manoeuvres etc.

I find the standard seats (4-way Sports Seats Plus) to be very comfortable. My girlfriend now prefers them to the seats in my previous Porsche, a 2017 Panamera 4.

Good to have you here!!! Like you say on Macan Forum... Pics or it didn't happen.
