The steel sunroof is wonderful. When open and with windows down it's almost like a convertible. If you get PSE the sounds are fantastic. I'm told the perforated shade for the glass sunroof lets too much light through and so makes the interior hot on hot days. Contrary to most folks, I like the little cubby at the rear of the center console that is there without the smoker's package. Finally, I know the PDK is faster but the manual transmission is almost divine. Best I've ever tried. Every shift is a joy. And voice control is terrific.

Only truly egregious sin is the lack of a manual stick shift.
I will have to go find some on the lot with and without the smokers package. To be honest i would have never thought to look into it.

I really really wanted to get red, but the wife veto'd that option.

Ive had a sunroof in almost every vehicle over 20 years. i just now decided to stop ordering and wasting my money on them.

I did think about the red seat belt and passed.. Might have to revisit the red seat belt.

This is one car you might regret not having a sunroof on. Just saying. ;-)

I passed this time around on the sunroof as well. I just never used them in the past and I liked the idea of a stiffer "drivers" car etc...

But I did add the red seatbelts. Easy to add afterward...

How did you add the red seatbelts afterwards? I was looking and didn't see any good ideas. Hard to stomach 500 bucks for them to change the color of a seatbelt...

Yes - you've got it right. Sounds like you missed it on your order but for a mere $500 you can order them OEM from the dealer and have them put in. Heck, I'm thinking of finding out what it'll cost to get white dials put it! Now that's gotta cost!

Yeesh. Sorry guys but buying a slightly, used, broken in Porsche is so much less stressful than this order, change your order, lock-in your order, call the dealer and plead for a last minute change, wait, second guess your order, bitch about it, wait some more, scene! Hey! Guess what? Could it be there is no perfect build? And I'm sure all this "build-wavering" will go by the wayside once you insert that key and fire it up.

Looking through this thread reminds me of when I was anxiously looking through it while I was waiting for my car to be built three years ago!

Default SIEM CICERO falls off edge of the earth?

Where's my boat? Tracking my T on the SIEM CICERO on ShipFinder app was working well until it passed Plymouth Rock and disappeared. I seem to remember reading something about tracking apps losing ships as they cross the Atlantic.

Anyone have and idea how long it takes to cross over to the east coast of North America and show up again on the tracking app?

At least one of the tracking websites has a satellite tracking free trial for several days. Search this thread to find more about it. Otherwise, the wait seems interminable. ;-)

Excellent. Just checked on my Ship Finder app and it's just heading on a SW course into the English Channel!
