Nope. That giant glass window in the back makes for great rear-facing visibility, and the side mirrors have been fine for anything that doesn't catch. I have LCA, and barely use it.

Wow, PAG does not mess around. I dropped the car off on 22-June, and it left Emden on 3-Jul. Current Davisville ETA of 12-Jul. At this rate, I might actually have it in my hands in less than a month.

My Panamera has LCA it and I like it very much, however my Targa 4 GTS doesn't and I really miss it. For some reason I've been surprised a couple of times by a car coming up on the left and the bar blocks it for a split second... maybe something to do with my seat position (?) since the OP doesn't have it or seem to need it. If I were ordering I would get it... just that extra measure of security when making a lane change.

I had it on my last car (an S8) and found it useful, and because the GTS will be spending at least some amount of time in Northern Virginia traffic, I ordered it on this car as well.

Good choice if I may say so. My wife and I were talking today about getting an place for a few weeks in the fall in your area, if the Targa I have on order arrives in time, but if not next fall for sure...great roads in the DC metro area (especially compared to here in FL).

We lived in Port Tobacco MD for 15 years before we moved to FL and we had motorcycles along with the sports cars so we know the roads well!
I am getting a Miami Blue Targa 4S with more options that I thought I would wind up with...pics to come after it arrives in October.

Just took delivery of my Night Blue Metallic Targa 4 GTS
The day finally came, and I picked this, my first 911, up in Zuffenhausen yesterday. It was a very cool coincidence to have managed to schedule ED on Porsche's 70th anniversary, to the day. Zuffenhausen was a beehive of activity, and the new delivery center in Werk 1 is beautiful. If any of you are in the bubble about doing ED, do it. I've got two weeks of alpine roads to go and contend with, but so far, this is one of the most rewarding life experiences I've ever had. The fact that I am absolutely in love with this car doesn't hurt.
