Mine with winter setup in 19s.
I picked up mine with basically no options other than creature comfort packages. With a 6 and 3 years old riding along in the back and are basically destroyers of all things, my rationale is a base car will more than suffice. I never compare a C2 to the S or the higher trims, as it’s in the experience behind the steering that counts. And from an experience perspective, the C2 is a massive upgrade over other family cars. 😜
Once the kids are older, I plan to swap to a .2 Targa and be more discretionary at all the options.

Going on my longest car owned within the past decade+ (2.5 years already) and still feels like I got it yesterday. Eyes very rarely wander which is an extreme rarity for me. A little wandering, but hard to beat the value I have it at (anything replacing it would cost me a lot more).

Nice Color
I've noticed that there just doesn't seem to be much love on here for the base Carrera. Like many here, I struggled with the base vs S conundrum and for me and my budget, I decided that a newer and lower miles base for everyday city driving was the way to go. This is not intended to be a base vs S debate, but rather an opportunity for my fellow base owners to show off their beloved babies.
Here's my 2014 pride and joy in Mahogany Metallic over Luxor Beige. It's equipped with PSE, PDK, and SC and I look forward to my commute every single day. Let's see some more.

Have to say the 991.1 Sport PASM ride height is (to these eyes) perfection for a street car. It's pretty clear Porsche raised Sport PASM for the 991.2 series, as they never look quite so dialed. To each their own, but I'd keep the 305s and DSC, but maybe work with TPC on anti-roll bars and alignment rather than springs. I've done springs in a number of cars, and the downsides often outweigh the upsides. In the case of my 991.2, it was just too high in stock form. Had it been at your ride height, I wouldn't have messed with it. In fact, I like your car's stance better than mine on TechArt springs. Your nose is just a bit high, but the car looks "low but factory correct" to these eyes.
Hey wanted to follow-up with some comments and pictures:
H&R springs honestly do not lower the car that much compared to the stock PASM Sport springs - so the ride quality is stiffer, but not by much. Went a bit more aggressive than stock on the alignment. I then installed the DSC Sport Controller, and set the configuration to "GT3 Touring" - just awesome. Icing on the cake - tire pressures set to 29/30 cold. Car rides beautifully - I'm happy with this set up for now. Shopping for GT4 wheels now....
