Does yours drip where a vent window would have historically been placed, when the windows are open in rain?

Great to see this point raised!

I am on my third 911 (997.1/997.2/991) over seven-ish years and my quibbles with the cars have been minor; although they have been REALLY ANNOYING.

The two 997s suffered from the really-stupid-key syndrome; a loooong unit which seemed determined to find every hole in every pocket and, failing that, expressed it's frustration by forcing a new hole where it could. The 991 has dealt with this issue admirably.

And all three cars, in their attempt (successful, I might add) to look neat and sleek and tidy fail HOPELESSLY if, like me, you enjoy driving with the window open - even a bit - in all weather rather than use the a/c.

Just getting in to the car during/after a rainstorm invites a cascade onto the driver's seat. Actually being so bold as to OPEN THE WINDOW whilst it's drizzling (or, God forbid, raining properly) is impractical as the water falls straight inside.

These gripes are small beer, really, when weighed against the ridiculous amount of pleasure these cars give.
