Default Ranking these options - Best Two out of the four

Hey Guys,

How would you rank these options if you could only pick two out of the four? ( for C2S manual option )

1. Sport Pasm

2. Leather Interior

3. 14/18 way seats

4. Sport Exhaust

In the exact order you have.

I would get the SPASM and Leather Interior before I optioned the other two options.

I don't have my car yet, but I'd look at it which 2 would be the hardest to correct/purchase after the fact if you have regrets on the initial choice.. Changing out the seats to electric versions, and changing out the interior to leather would probably be the most cost prohibitive. After market suspensions, and exhausts are more readily available.

Your #3 is my #1 (only 18-ways though...wouldn't want 14-ways)
Your #4 is my #2

I would never order optional leather or SPASM on a 992. Wouldn't under any circumstances buy a used 992 with SPASM, and would not view extra leather on a used 992 as a "premium" option, and certainly wouldn't pay extra for it.

I went with 4 way Sport plus, so 14/18 ways were not a priority.

14/18 way seat rankings by someone else aren’t really applicable to you as they are anatomy and individual circumstance driven.

I spec'd my C2S as more of a GT DD, so I got Leather and 18 ways. I didn't get SPASM for more comfort on rough roads and no PSE since I love the quad exhausts.

If your focus is on daily driving use...
1. Full Leather
2. 18 ways
3. SPASM
4. PSE


If it’s a weekend toy...
1. PSE
2. SPASM
3. Full leather
4. 18 ways


If you can swing it, I would go with all four — my own car has all four. IMHO. The base interior just isn’t commensurate with a six figure car. You spend most of your time on the inside of the car, so, it should be a nice place to stay. As for the 18 ways, my wife has declared them to be the most comfortable seats of any sports car that I have owned. She isn’t wrong.

Thanks everyone, very interesting thoughts;

Looks like full leather is in almost everyone's top 1 or 2. Also was a little surprised on the love or hate on the SPASM. I have dropped the PSE, so this thread has helped for that! ( I always preferred the quad look too). I am just torn on the 14 way vs 4 way (18 way doesn't fit me as well ) vs the spasm. Leather has made it in. For the ppl that ranked SPASM ahead of 14/18 ways, what was your thought for that? Maybe you guys know something I don't? ( I know what the negative's are to SPASM, but besides the 10mm drop which looks nicer, there is not to much positive content on the forum in regards to SPASM, I generally see how less comfortable it is and that it diminishes approach angles )

Thanks again for the responses.
