Buy a smaller coffee, should have spec'd your car with the front end lift system if you have a steep driveway. If you can afford a £100k+ motor you can afford a spare set of centre lock wheels for track or winter. Who really needs Apple car play, later year GTS's have it, it ain't all that, it's not a biggy, the chassis, drive train and looks are what this car is all about. All first world problems, your car is super dope. The colour and wheels are a perfect match. It's a real beauty! 👌🏽 Enjoy it.

Lets go though your complaints: 1. The car is not a coffee shop and it's designed function is as a mode of transport hence the priority for 'car' related items and not 'drinking support facilities' (should you be drinking whilst driving anyway, especially in a Porsche?); 2. You know the design and style of the car and as it's a 'sports' car it's going to be low - alternatively get a front lifter or buy a truck; 3. Apple car play - get it upgraded but at some point there has to be a limit about how much technology can be added to a car given the time limits to test, develop, manufacture , introduce and add to the building process ; 4. Wheels - centre lock - surely you must have thought about winter tyres before you bought it so why was it not considered then? Alternative, change the hubs to the 5 stud wheel fitment it was an option for the GTS (and for the Turbo's)? 5. Price - buy a cheaper car. If you want a Porsche one pays the price for the Porsche because of design, style, reliability, speed, experience and retention of value, especially GTS's. Perhaps you should buy a cheap truck with a mobile coffee shop with winter tyres with an iPad with all your apps (sorry Joe, I had to add that). Nice car though and probably the best colour.

Ha!!! I absolutely love my GTS! I should have made that clear in this video. If you check out my other vids about my GTS, you'll see how much I love this car and extol its great virtues. I have had the car since new, 2015, and not much out there has convinced to trade it in for something else. A car that came close was the 718 Spyder. The Spyder is so sharp, nimble and fun, it made me wonder if it should replace the GTS with that. Then I drive my GTS again and I am happy. The other car that I would give up my GTS for would be a 991.2 GT3. Long-winded way of saying that these items I talk about in this video are very, very minor things that do not overshadow my enjoyment of the car over the last 8 years.

Alright, alright, smaller cups. Excellent point. Here is the irony, since this video, I have given up coffee. Not due to comments on the video but for health reasons. I wanted to cut out the caffeine and sugar. When I go on long trips, I sometimes stop and get a bottle of water and that bottle won't stay stationary in the holder either. Which is my point, they are beautifully engineered but not very useful. I think the 991 console is better than the 997 console. I had the 997.2 and it was fine at the time. But now that I am in the 991.1, I really like the change. Having said that , the 997 is a great car overall. I loved it. Once you find one you like, I am sure you will be happy with it. Great car.

True, there is a lift system. I bought this car off the dealer lot after it had been built. The lift wasn't specified on this car. Had I ordered the car, I would spec the lift. On the cupholders, which I realize is a small and insignificant thing, I could just not have liquid in the car at all. And usually I don't. But on long trips, sometimes I like having a bottle of water. A standard small bottle of water falls out of that cupholder so I don't even bother putting it in there. Having said all that, this car is so fantastic that the complaints I have are very minor.

NO vehicle manufacturer in the World makes Retractable cup holders that are intended to be used by the driver whilst the vehicle is being driven.
