My ONLY dislike - auto start-stop. I hate it, and the only way I have found to turn it off is to put it in Sport+ mode every time. Maybe somebody has found a tick box somewhere that I haven't found to permanently turn it off?
My BMW has a push switch on the dash to turn it off.

The 991 has a button with A and an arrow around it to turn it off. It's just not permanent but resets when you start the car again.
Looks like this:

My 2014 981 remembers. Porsche had to change it to take credit for MPG ratings. I will bet BMW will also (if they already haven't)

Sport mode also disables the auto start/stop feature. Normal mode seems largely useless to me, at least with PDK. Performance is terrible; the car upshifts so rapidly so that even at 15-20 mph you are in fifth or sixth gear.
To drive the car I insert key, start ignition, switch to sport mode and back out of garage.

It is "remembered" on the 991.1 and you disable it once with the button and never worry about it again. I wish that was the case with the 991.2. Not a deal breaker, of course, but still a little annoying.

Goerge Jetson complained of all the exhaustive button pushing, too.
