SSDD2018 1st Gear October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 As a Porsche owner who has been through the whole optioning process, I think the potential buyer needs to be prepared to add on an additional 10-20k so as not to short change yourself on some basic needs for a more enjoyable daily drive for yourself and your passengers. However, like Wolfverine mentioned, it's a very personal choice. Pls do not forget to opt for reverse sensors for Boxter or Cayman! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 Well said! Just another point to add. The almost mandatory optioning practice for the ultra premium makes have always be there all over the world. It is not a unique Singapore phenomenon. Like what you said, it is like a bouncer at the door of the Porky club. You may have the money but if you are not willing to accept the optioning culture/price of ticket to enter the club, means you are not ready to be a Porky owner yet. That said, I am currently not able to tune my mindset to having to option a base porky up to my minimum level for daily driving comfort. I must honestly say I am not ready to be in the porky club but..hopefully one day I will be able to.

Douglam 4th Gear October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 haolian ... spotted ... lol more or less $20k option for a "driveable" Macan i understand the beauty of option that one can fully customised his want list but some features are ridiculous not included in standard specs we are talking about Porsche, aren't we ... it's not a Proton ! Please respect the brand and please don't compare with mass market cars, especially kimchi or boleh cars lah. It's just the way they market and position themselves as a premium brand. You should get the hint when the AD don't include COE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashbang Turbocharged October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 Over the weekend backside itchy go play with the porsche configurator. After 30 minutes, realised that I am not worthy to own a porsche... they really mean it when they say base model, even reverse sensors also don't have. By the time I finish adding the die die must haves, extra 30k liao. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubwee Supercharged October 17, 2016 Share October 17, 2016 Dun think any brand can beat ferrari in charging for simple specs... 3 k for a drink holder , 7k plus for side shields or 20plus k for a half carbon with LED light steering wheel !!! How about 12k for electronics seat adjustment and another 8 k for auto retract of side mirrors .... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
