    That pic is horrible! (#1 & #2) I've seen non-leather dash and you're right. It does look much better in person.

    greggr107:

    1. The interior looks gorgeous in black (#3 & #4). If you hand't mentioned it, I would have assumed that the rims are aluminum!

    2. What's your steering wheel like? and about about the gear shift rim and knob?

    Re: Do you like this 'economy' 997 C2 configuration?

    GA- Just trying to help. Probably not enough light, next time I won't rely on my flash with the garage closed.
    Oxy- The shift surround is aluminum, although I'm not sure if that comes with S package? But I think its standard, maybe somebody can confirm that. Steering wheel is beautiful, sorry for the low light pics, it makes it appear much more 'vinyl-like' than it actually is.. leather wrapped, titanium colored ring, aluminum thumb pads and the colored crest.. If you would like, I wil try and take some tomorrow during the day, let me know which area you want to see, you might get a better idea that way. cheers

    You've got balls to admit that you're a bad driver and that you're more into status and comfort than performance around here. Power to ya. Still, you're getting a high performance sports car. But hey - if that's what you want . . .

    Definitely get the Bose sound system.

    Re: Do you like this 'economy' 997 C2 configuration?

    just my 2 cents,



    Green is nota popular color, althought it might look special.

    Resale will be difficilt with Green.


    Moreover Tips are not so popular for their resale power either.


    Conclusion...

    Green + Tiptronic = Difficult Resale.


    PLUS people are looking for :

    PASM
    SPORT CHRONO
    BOSE RADIO
    SUNROOF
    NAV

    AND YOUR CAR WONT HAVE THESE !!!



    so JUST THINK how difficult this car will be to sell after some years.......and reconsider your options...


    I mean an ARCTIC SILVER TIP could be more popular
    or even a GREEN BUT with manual transmision....



    PS. Telephone preparation sounds very cheap, are you sure its not the handsets price that you are reffering?? i thoughr telephone module costs around 1500

    No TIP or Park Assist. Consider PASM

    I can second that, the SIM card swapping is a pain and the reception on the built in thing is rubbish, I always get people telling me they can't hear me. Does anyone else (especially in the UK but any answers would be appreciated) have this problem??



    Apart from the pain of the SIM my phone works fine with good reception and callers say they can barely tell I'm in the car. Have you checked the microphone volume level? I'd get your dealer to check out your car if the problem persists. It may be a software glitch or a microphone issue.



    Thanks for the reply, the microphone is up high already, I'll get it checked out.
