Which CS to Choose from dealer lot



Option 1:ATLAS GREYwith grey Interior, SPORT Steering Wheel, Carbon package, carbon interior, Leather Sports seats, AUTO dimming mirros , rain sensor with Bose and heated Seats, NO Auto Climate, Xenons with 19' Sport Design wheels


Option 2: BLACK on BLACK with full leather, Regular steering wheel, Regular seats, NO AUTO dimming mirror but has PCM, Bose and Heated seats, AUto Climate Control, has Xenons with19' carerra classic wheels


Not sure which one to PICK, not sure if Auto climate control is real important. which is lacking in the Atlas grey car but has the Auto dimmming mirros missing in the black car. I already have a portable Navigation unit


Current CS ownwers may be able toadvise me from their ownership experience

I'd choose whats behind door number 1. Mostly because of the sports steering wheel, BOSE and sports seats. It's close though. Does one color work for you more than the other?

I always loved black but when I looked at the Atlas grey, it was very impressive too. Both have Bose


The black car has PCM but no Auto Dimming mirros and I heard that is a very good option

My vote is for Option #2. If you don't mind the increase up keep with a black car, I love the CS in black especially with the 19' Classics (these are the nicest looking in my opinion). I have leather sport seats in my car but I don't know what to compare them against. I actually would like to of had climate control in my car, since I think the no auto climate controls are kinda clumsy.


Other thingsto consider...PCM is a nice option, but not sure if you are the kind of person who would use it... some people prefer not to have this in their sports-car. Although if they ever come out with a good iPod integration, PCM would be nice if you listen to music... again some people just prefer the sound of the engine.

P.S. Whichever you decide on... get the short shifter installed! I just did this a few days ago, and I was very impressed on how much better the driving experience is... as I mentioned in my other post, porsche should have made this shifter stock.

In terms of options I have to choose OPTION 1.



However, I much prefer the color combo of OPTION 2.



I hate Grey interiors and you can't beat a black Pcar!!!

Option one unless you really want factory PCM/Nav. It's the more unique car with carbon, sport wheel and seats, sport designs, etc. I had a Boxster loaner once with no climate control......and it was just fine IMO.....I probably fiddle with my climate control equipped CS just as much.

Thanks Atlas_croc, I am having a hard time debating between Auto dimming mirrors VS Automatic climate control


I have to give up one , so I am thinking give up auto A/c instead of auto dimming mirrors

Option 1. Subconsciously, you have already selected Atlas Grey as yourpreferred choice by listing it as option#1. Black is beautiful...until the swirls appear.

I am trying to decide if Auto dimming is more important than Auto climate control
