    Cobalt 2 Arrives

    Must say I really like the Turbo wheels - such a visual improvement over the Cayman wheels

    Re: Cobalt 2 Arrives

    Which interior colour did you go for.

    I have to say whenever I see Cobalt it looks fantastic. Suits that hood colour too!

    Congrats!

    Cobalt is a fabulous colour, I never for one moment have second thoughts about the choice. Turbo wheels look terrific also.

    Very nice car, the Turbo wheels look better on the Boxster than on the regular 997

    All you need now is PSE (which I assume includes nice exhaust tips)

    Re: Cobalt 2 Arrives

    Hallo all. Nice !I'm new to this site.I'm about to order an S with the same colour and wheel combo.To keep costs under control I was not going to spcify PASM. The agent now tells me that 19" wheels without PASM will make the car uncomfortably hard to live with.I will appreciate informed opinions and advice. Thank you in anticipation.

    Sorry I also meant to ask. Should I wait for the new DSG gearbox or just go with the manual.I'm not considering a Tiptronic

    Interior is Stone Grey - again.

    I've been amazed how similar ride quality is between 18"s and 19"s - on some surfaces its better with the extra width!

    werner,

    I'm on my 2nd 987 now. The first had 18" Boxster S alloys on standard suspension. The latest one has 19" Carrera S alloys on standard suspension and the ride quality is very good. In fact I'd go as far as to say that the car on 19" feels smoother.

    Very nice looking car. The turbo wheels really go well with the side air vents. Best combo in my opinion.
