Dump the thick steering wheel. It looks like a wheel for a person who has an orthopedic problem.
Oh come on, Nick. Are your hands the same size as Mario Andretti's?
If one has even slightly larger-than-average hands, a thicker wheel makes steering the car so much more enjoyable.
After a short time driving my TT cab with the CPZ thicker steering wheel option, I quickly got an after-market version from Gert to put on my (former) TT coupe. It was worth twice what I paid for it in driving satisfaction.
Have you ever tried one?

LOL!!! Big hands, big feet, I'm sure that the thick wheel doesn't feel as "natural" to some as it does to others!

One of the Porsche execs in Atlanta with whom I'm acquainted told me he would never order another Porsche without the thicker steering wheel option. He felt it so much enhanced his driving experience that it was a no-brainer. He's about 5'9", IIRC.
YMMV

The steering wheel is ugly enough as is. Making it more bold looking only enhances the ugliness.

I didn't get the NAV. It's 100% modular, so you can "plug" it into your car at any later date if you so desire. But I've got other cars with NAV, and you simply never use it, and it takes longer to plot a map on NAV than it does to simply grab a map out of the glovebox, or an atlas from behind the seat.

I have the multi function wheel and have noticed it is quite thin. However, I have to say I like it - you definitely feel more in touch with the car and it's very easy to make small adjustments (eg when you're drifting the back end out... )

This is one of the things I'm still trying to decide with my 987 S order. Either the multi-function one (I have ordered PCM) or the sports one. I'm kinda short (167 cm, 5.5 feet) so the thick one might be too thick. And I have yet to see a picture of it.
