I am looking to buy a Porsche. They seem to have a lot of options to add on. Which ones are the really useful ones? Knowing me, the dealer will get me to add on 70 percent of the options available.
 
Damn there's so many options.

I like the 911 Carrera 4S.

Options I would get would be few.

Full leather seats plus mid range audio system, maybe Bose.

Electronic folding mirrors and possible upgrade on lights.

Rear wiper if driven in winter.
 
I like ventilated seats, navi with apps and text messages on screen and heated steering wheel.

Don't think is a good idea to drive it in winter.
 
Panamera or Cayenne

The Panamera is not the best looking car around, I am sure it is comfortable and very competent on the road. The Macan is coming out in a few months, some reports I have seen suggest that it handles much better than the Cayenne. You may want to wait for the next Panamera redesign, Porsche may come out with a better looking hatchback

they are fine in winter!.... i have a 20 year old 911 (1 call it the money pit LOL) seriously it doesnt get driven much and less in winter but it is excellent and the most fun thing i have ever driven!!!!

don't know about your 20 years old, the new ones I think have 295 tires at the back with 400hp is not easy to drive in winter, unless you are talking about winter in Florida.
 
Just think of what it may cost you to put a set of winter tires on a 911, even then there is no guarantee that you will not twirl yourself into a TTC bus. High HP + rear wheel drive = death on ice.

Yeah, but the guy needs to buy a porsche to impress women, so give him a break! lol

both panamera and cayenne are available in AWD
 
Make sure to get the upgraded steering wheel (unless it is now standard, as it should be).

Porsche has been in the middle ages as far as the steering wheel goes. Having to reach for the volume control should no longer happen and trying to change tracks on the CD player should only be done at a stop light. I speak from experience on this.
