Spec'ing a car for my wife for ED any comments on the following:

- Agate Gray or Sapphire Blue met
- 20" Carrera Classic Wheels
- Leather Interior w/Premium Pkg & 14-way power seats
- Agate Gray leather
- Bose Audio
- Park Assist
- PDLS Bi-Xenon in black
- clear tailights
- folding side mirrors
- PDK
- Sport Tailpipes
- PDCC
- GR seatbelts
- multi-function steering wheel

wondering about Sport-Chrono, Sport Exhaust and Sport Design Pkg (more for me than her!)

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Sport design is a matter of taste. I have sport chrono and PSE on my '13 C2S coupe, and I think both are must have items.

Would you elaborate as to why? - I'm really being totally selfish here, since the car is primarily for my wife, and PSE and Sport-Chrono (well really just for the Sport-Plus mode and PDEM) are really for me! should I spend another 6k-ish for that?

Agree completely.
You might want to consider a little bit of contrast (if you go with gray) on the outside by opting for regular (not clear) taillights.

PSE for aural experience and Sports Chrono for Sport-Plus setting & PDEM?

How about PDCC?

It was when my wife heard the Sport exhaust on a 991S rental car last fall that she turned to me and said "you should get one of these!".

I'm not sure how to justify the Sport-Chrono ... my "secret" plan is to drop her at Frankfurt after our vacation together, and then take her car for a few laps of the Nordschleife where I would definitely punch the "Sport-Plus" mode tee-hee ...

Got any more pictures of the "SportDesign" pkg ... curious to see the ducktail on the cabriolet?

Care to remark upon PDCC?

If it were me, I'd drop the PDCC, Sport Tail Pipes & Clear taillights and save $4,720 and use that to pay for PSE & Sport Chrono and your net cost difference is only $80. You'll notice the sound and the fun factor a lot more than PDCC which you'll only notice under really hard cornering.

Why aren't we talking to your wife?

Larry Cable

Not a bad suggestion! ... the sport tailpipes are included in PSE anyway!

Larry Cable

That's another good question ... probably best explained by:

1) I'm the car nut in the family ... she just likes the car's "bum" ...
2) I'm "the money"

Want some female advice?

Do what SanibelSpeed said
Drop the clear taillights and PDCC and get the PSE and Sport Chrono.

And no SportDesign... Not on a cab. (Just my opinion)

Things you may consider:
- Power Steering Plus if she likes light steering while parking
- Two-tone interior (like Agate grey/Pebble or black/platinum grey) looks amazing in a cab IMO, especially with darker exterior colors. And you get some free deviated stitching.

The same has always been true of me through three wives. At 68 I can share that it has been my experience that your partner would love to make each choice you are contemplating and will likely ask your advice on concerning each one along with other choices you have not considered. I have learned every lesson the hard way...you don't have to. A good problem to have, none the less.
