Default What Options Do You Have/Like On Your 958?

Which options do you have on your 958 and what do you like about them?

I picked up this 2016 Exclusive Build Turbo S which is pretty highly optioned…

What do you have and like?

Like your wheel set and love the look of the GTS with Sport Design Package.

The Sport Exhaust on these V8's creates a truly healthy note...

Put the black headlights and tinted tail lights on after the fact. Much nicer look. I also replaced that boring base bumper with the .1 GTS/TT version.

Still glad I opted for the black trim and roof rails. I don't use the rails much, but think it offers a better look.

The biggest option was the diesel motor and that is definitely something I'm still happy with.

On the flip side, I despise the PCM, parking sensors, and would rather not have the moonroof. Should have gone with my gut, but I left the dealer talk me into the Premium package for the discounts on the Xenons and 14-way seats.

I ordered the black trim around windows and the black tinted tail lights, and I think the black contrast works really well with my Classic Silver 2014 CS.

Also ordered PSE, and it's great with the NA V8.

I ordered the 14 way seats, which are very comfortable, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had the higher level leather than the standard seats. The leather is identical to the leather on my 997.2 with the full leather package.

Finally, I did the model designation delete, and I think it cleans up the back of the SC. In fact, the rear, which is probably not the strong point from a design standpoint, now looks good in tandem with the black tail lights and quad tail pipes from the PSE. I call it my "GTS Lite" look. Mike

Phillip & Mike,

The three of us have silver 958's nice! I looked for quite a while for a silver Turbo S. It seemed like the only ones I could find were Dark Blue, Black or White. Black is great for a garage queen or someone with a detailer or lots of time on their hands to keep it clean, Dark Blue is the same and I like white but my wife does not. The rest of the range of 958's have many more choices!

First of all, that is one loaded option sheet!

Just picked up a lightly used 2017 Cayenne S with these options...

Oh man, I have always heard about the insanely optioned Cayennes but haven't seen a window sticker like that!

I like the fact it includes a "leather wrapped rearview mirror". Oh my. Can you post some pictures of that one and some of the other crazy options?

As for my options - with a '13 base, I've got nothing compared to this thread. Only thing unique would be the 6spd, which is all I wanted.

That is about the most optioned out Cayenne I've ever heard of. Amazing. The salesman must have had a party after getting that purchase contract signed.

The only option I find just about totally useless is the voice activation. I (1) forget it's there (2) when I remember it's there I have to try to remember what commands it recognizes (3) sounds silly when it asks me back "Want to GO HOME?" after I yell GO HOME at it.

It's an answer that never had a question associated with it.

Soft close doors. I've been driving a loaner without them and I've not closed a door properly the entire time.

I've been driving around in a Titanium Edition for the last week while my '12 CTT was getting new transfer case (good will) & fuel vapor purge valve.

Maaaaan I have missed my loaded p!g. Clearly the power, but pretty much everything makes a difference in the total passion I feel. Even from the initial visual as I walk up to it (given it has the looks of a GTS, but in a Turbo).

If you would have asked me PRIOR to driving a loaner around for this past week, I might have been forced to narrow it down to one or two options,.... but now I can't do that. It's ALL the options together that make the difference.
