Default GTS Options

Thinking about buying a used 2013 Panamera GTS. What are the must have options that I should look for on the car. I appreciate your help in advance!

There's a similar thread in which you can see the same two basic answers. While there are lots of "nice to have" items, the only really near-vital one is a reversing camera, since the view out the rear window is extremely narrow. Lane Change Assist also helps with the large blind spots, but hasn't affected my experience nearly as much as the camera. If you can get the surround view, do it, though that's a lot less common.

I bought my Panamera new last year, and ordered both to make sure I got the things I absolutely wanted, and to keep the price under control by not paying for options I felt were rather fluffy. The main things I wish I'd purchased were the leather interior, which looks nicer than I realized, and Adaptive Cruise Control. I'm very glad I got the Surround View and Lane Change Assist. The Sport Chrono hasn't made as much of a difference as I thought it would - I don't find myself using Sport+ over Sport that often.

There is a lot which comes standard with the GTS. It is difficult to say what is need to have and what is nice to have. I like the adaptive cruise control and the burmester sound package a lot. The PCCB is just great also and it looks so good on the car. Rear camera is a must but I think all cars have that.
