Favorite feature
 
We haven't had many fun positive threads lately, this is almost becoming a maintenance board.

What is your single favorite feature of your P-car!

964: The old-timey oil & gas smell. Oh, and the aircooled rumble. ;)
986: Balance and practicality while being fun.

Not really features in the way we normally look at them, but still features nonetheless.

Two trunks on the 986. I love the looks I get from non-car people when I pop the frunk to load groceries, and then walk around to the back and throw something in there!

My favorite feature is my wife wants to go for a ride in the 986 versus me having to convince her to go for a ride in my (formerly owned) 60's era Chevy.

I like using my key to roll down both windows before getting into the car filled with hot air!

It's willingness to submit to my will !

Honestly the heated seats. It's my first car to have that feature and its magic.

It's good looks and it high fun to drive factor.

My favorite feature is the precise handling from a drop top roadster and I can control the elements of the drive by a simple push of a button.
And oh yes, that glorious flat 6 sound. Yeah permagrin.

986 (stock) - Top down! Nothing beats driving an open air sports car on a beautiful day!
986 (race) - G's. Lots and lots of G's. And mixing it up with other cars for position.
996 - The perfect balance of power, handling, and comfort.
911SC - The connectedness, rawness, and that air-cooled sound. Its where is all began.

The instrument cluster changes based on day or night driving for easier analog gauge viewing; at day the gauge is white and night it is black

I love the window drop from the key and I love the functionality of my hardtop!

The manual transmission! The six speed...man I forgot exactly how much I forgot shifting gears being spoiled with automatics and various versions of manual modes or paddle shifters over the years I had really forgotten how much I actually enjoy the full control of shifting and downshifting. I can do it with my Range Rover with the paddle shifters as well but it isn't the same as putting the clutch in and changing the gears! I really love it!

I never knew how much I would enjoy a convertible until I got one. I don't know if that's because I got a 986 or any convertible would do, but I love it. Also love the two trunks and associated looks from non car people when loading them, the fact that I just don't see many others, and the brakes.

Still not fond of the back end in the rain. Just squirrelly even with new shocks, springs, and tires.

Giller 03-22-2017 11:17 AM

So, so many things to say! Love my PDK - what a great transmission, especially combined with the Sport and Sport+ options! Yowser!

Lots of storage space, handles like a dream, good power, the roof goes away.....what more could you want from a car??

They both drive like rockets and handle like they are on rails.

The engine in front of the rear wheels, and right behind me. And power steering.

Benitom 03-22-2017 04:26 PM

The handling, the detailed engine noise when driving, the smell.

The last of payment book in the non existent glove box.
