Standard front & rear.

Looks cleaner IMO.

Need to wait about 7 or more months to see mine. Made some changes. Ditched Sport Chrono Package and replaced with Sport Plus Seats. Not sure whether it is worth adding PASM or not. I've also been invited to drive a choice of 718 Boxster, Cayman, 911, or Panamera at Silverstone circuit lol. I will miss wide, spacious and luxurious interior of F30 for sure, 718 interior is a bit cramped and nothing special.

What do you mean nothing special? It's a better interior than an F30 by a mile.

I have Sports Chrono, and PASM, and both work great. PASM gives a great ride comfort and sport is a bit hard for uk roads, so hopefully it will be great on track.

The only thing my car doesn't have though that I wish it did is the sports seats, so keep them too.

I'd spec full leather a Porsche deserves it, those acres of plastic don't look right in one.

One of the things I liked about my 911 was the full leather and alcantara roof as standard, mind you they charged extra for an auto dimming rear view mirror!

Yes i agree. My dream spec would be full leather in black/white mixed colour or all red which is very unique. But, over £2400 for that?

No thanks man, overall cost of the car is already more than the S version even with a few options.

Mine will have partial leather in Beige colour, so i'm hoping that reflection on plastic won't be as visible as on black.

I prefer how the wide screen is positioned in the centre of the dash in F30. I also like gloss black trim around radio, that large gloss black plastic piece in front of passenger and around iDrive buttons etc. 718 has a lot of matt black plastic which feels like you're in a basic Ford Fiesta or something, and i don't understand why Porsche doesn't use better quality materials for turn indicator lever and multimedia buttons.

Is PASM a must have feature with 20" wheels especially driving on the rough UK roads?

Totally agree that a high mounted screen is much better, but the overall material quality of the F30 is a let down, especially the centre console.

I can't say for sure on the 718 as not driven one, but on pretty much all the other Porsche's the PASM is really well calibrated to allow a good ride comfort on the largest wheels, even in the uk.
