Were here goes my opinion.
I have the Base 987 with Heated Seats, the non-Bose premium audio system, and the 19 Carrera S wheels.
I also live in sunny southern California so I don't worry about snow and so on.
19's: All in all, I like the 19's but if you drive on bad roads regularly then I would not go for them.
PASM: I would have liked to have but I don't so I can not speak about it.
Brakes: The brakes on the Base model are good enough for the streets as far as I am concerned.
Bose: Well I have the mid range "premium" audio system which for me does just fine. I used to be an audiophile but have since stopped caring about perfect sound. The unit I have also does the volume control based on speed and so on.
Full leather: I have not had any issues with it. I do not have it nor do I wish I had it.
S vs. Base: I would say opt out for the S if you can have it. I am a little bit of a conservative and did not want to go for the S at this time. So I went with the base model. Next time around though I will probably go with the S if I have a choice.
