Mike Cad Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm contemplating replacing the Boxster S with a 718 Cayman S. I was wondering with all the dead buttons in the centre console, how many can actually be filled? Presumably Sport and Sport+ have been moved onto the steering wheel now. So asides from PASM and Sports Exhaust (above the defaults) what else can fill up the spaces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, sport button, sport plus button, suspension lift button, PSE button, start stop turn off button, spoiler lift button and DSC button.

Mike Cad Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think another Boxster would be too samey? Too white? Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm not sure why Porsche designed the buttons with lots more spaces than they could ever fill. Wit without sport and sport+ the 718 would seem to have a max of 5 buttons used. I think that all white 718 Cayman looks superb. (Except the oversized side intakes that still bug me, though do look like more of a contrast feature in all white) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Cad Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yeah I wasn't a fan of the larger intakes when I saw them. I went for Guards Red with my current car but just don't fancy any other colours in the 718 range. Had two Boxsters since 2009 and just don't find myself putting the roof down much any more. Doesn't help that the weather is usually shyate and I don't get out into the countryside very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 10 year old always insists on the roof being down when he's in the car, The Derbyshire Daytona crew all commited to roof down despite -3 C this last Saturday.

I cracked the (plastic) rear window putting the hood down at 1am on 1st January (1982 at a guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 The sport and sport + is on the steering wheel on the 718 I thought having driven the Boxster. There's: Auto stop, PSE, PASM, Spoiler, Traction............... not sure if there's any other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Days Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Most of the 'normal' buttons are forward of the gear lever. I'd love to know what options are needed to fill the spaces too ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Someone needs to start selling a set of transfers that can be added to the dummy switches for fun: ejector seat, machine guns, oil slick etc etc. Anyone seen such a thing?

Araf Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just tell him that he can press it as much as he likes, as you have to arm it with another secret switch, and you're not telling him where that one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
