    Steering Wheel Choices...

    What did everyone here choose for the steering wheel for the 987 S? Stay with Standard S wheel, choose the Sport, or multi function? Right now, I am with the standard on my order and have not moved into Planned Production, so, I can change, but, I like the triangular look as opposed to the circular, I think. Does anyone have pics or an opinion?

    Sorry for asking so many questions, but, I just keep thinking about different things with my order. I'm not sure how I am going to make another 3 months without the car!

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    I was in the same position as you.

    I placed order last December- w the stnd wheel.

    When I saw the thicker rimmed sport steering wheel during the launch in april.

    I changed order immediately. definitely a bargain. and it feels a lot smaller than the 5mm difference suggests.

    go for it!

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    Go for the "basic" sports steering wheel. Agree totally with Derder's comments. The standard and in particularly the multi-function wheel look like they've come straight out of the Cayenne. You can't have the multi-function wheel unless you have specified PCM.

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    Standard steering wheel is better in terms of design and feel IMO. The smaller sporting wheel looks a bit over-designed and size isnt everything

    Go for whatever you like the most!

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    Sport steering wheel is my choise

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    I orderted the sports steering wheel....

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    Multi Function Steering Wheel here. I like the triangular form more than the round one, and the controlling of PCM + BOSE Soundsystem + Telephone is extra, very nice indeed

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    Triangular looks like the 986 one. I love the roundness of the basic sports. But once moving who cares what it looks like!!!!

    Yep, that's the best advice

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    The only advice I can give is that you should go for a round wheel. It is so much more practical and easier to handle...

    You can only say that with conviction if you've driven a 1970's Austin Allegro with it's "Quartic" wheel. But if your old enough to remember that then you are too old for a Boxster. And no, that's not me.

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    How much thicker is the Sport Wheel than the Standard wheel?

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    I've ordered mine w/ the sports steering round wheel. AND DON"T FORGET, you've got the thumb-rest on it too, very nice grip and not the mention, the round centre goes very well w/ the A/C air vents and the display panel!!!

    Re: Steering Wheel Choices...

    Get the sports steering wheel (round). The leather is much nicer than the standard, and the size and shape of the wheel rim are superb.
