Big congrats! I picked up almost it’s twin over a month ago as my first Porsche and I couldn’t be happier. That 4S will serve you great in your area with all that weather you get ��

Congrats. You found a beauty. Prepare to be completely obsessed with the modding bug (staying stock works as well).

Life is a little better when you're in the cockpit...

Well, you found a beauty. Had one just like it except 2 years older. Loved it and I know you will too. Then the mod thing. Since you've already made a careful start I thought I'd mention a mod that's not talked about much, isn't terribly expensive but makes a big impact and that's the steering wheel. It's in your hands and in your face every minute you spend in the car so very worthwhile imo. To me, the stock wheel is on the skinny side and I'm not sure Porsche went out of their way to find the best quality leather either. There are two firms in the US that I'm aware of that will modify to your specifications but there may be others as well. These are the two that Rennlist members including myself have used and have given high grades for the work done. If they have a stock wheel like the one you have or want they'll do a core exchange so there's no downtime. Just pay for what you want and then send your old wheel back when you receive the new one.

I've attached a picture of the one I had built for my meteor gray -09 C4S like your car

. Note that you can get matching stitching to the full leather interior you have.

Woooooow. That wheel looks amazing! I’ll look into that for sure. Thank you !

I have the stock wheel wheel with the little buttons for the PDK. The large paddles are much better I assume?
