Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I would rather have cupholders even though they are not so great either but more useful considering I replaced the CDR30 and no longer have a CD player

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Afternoon all,
Whats the most pointless optional extra you have on your
Porsche
?
Mine has to be the rear wiper. It looks good, but the heated window is all you need really.
CD holder in glovebox which nixes the cupholders. I would rather have cupholders even though they are not so great either but more useful considering I replaced the CDR30 and no longer have a CD player
Mine has very few options, but the ones I have are all performance oriented so no complaints.
Although not an option, the auto start / stop is completely pointless to me as I always have it turned off.
My car came with the "
Porsche
crest in headrest" option. I'm not seeing the 3 MPH increase the salesman promised.
. Seriously, though, it was car on the lot, so take-it-or-leave-it. If I had to pay $250, I would definitely leave it.
Has to be option code CVW which is rear view mirror in leather - mine has 40+ factory options and didn’t know I had CVW until I received the data card from
Porsche
Australia months after purchase!
Sport button on the console. why would I ever want to drive the car with it off? and in testing for a couple of days, the car did not get any better gas mileage with sport mode off but driving with it off is a big difference in throttle response.
going along with that, the Sport Chrono Plus stopwatch gauge is purely cosmetic. I've tried to use it a couple of times on track and it's way too distracting which is dangerous. I can't fiddle with the switch when I'm downshifting on the straight.
Don't forget you can also get the vents wrapped in leather as an option for those that really have way too much money and wish to waste it on pointless options
I cant really talk as I wasted a bunch of it on yellow seatbelts and gauges. I think it was about $750 just for the belt color change, and its just a COLOR, not a more expensive material like leather vs vinyl. That's pure
Porsche
profit right there!
The Arid custom key. It is expensive, completely unnecessary, and freakin' awesome.

Which is why I turn sport mode off in the rain - better torque control when it is very slippery. Also, I turn it off on highway drives, on long drives mileage is slightly improved because regular mode allows engine temperature to get slightly higher, which is slightly more efficient.
Chalk seat belts! Why...?
Why would anyone (I bought the car CPO) not just leave the standard black ones, instead of paying $360 to make arguably the most touched item in the car a dirt magnet!? Nothing else in or on the vehicle is chalk.....ugh...
I’m the second owner of a 2011
Cayman S
. Mine has the Exclusive Option of “Wheels Painted in Black”. This option was $1,815 and didn’t include the actual wheels which are 18”
Boxster S
II wheels as a $390 option. I like the wheels, but that’s a lot of money.
