Maybe it's your fancy houte couture jackets with shoulder buckles and studs ...or when I go out with just my boxers (in my Boxster) and it rubs on my hairy chest....strangely this time they didnt say 'they all do that sir...' instead they said 'oh that doesn't happen on any others' but we still wont cover it under warranty! I suggested as a premium car manufacturer the main safety device failing, would be of interest to other prospective buyers on car forums etc and Porsche GB covered it...bit ridiculous mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Very nice - health to enjoy. I have had mine since November and it gets better and better. First real roofless weekend over the past few days. Heated wheel and seats are a real bonus this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidbf1.com Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Looks absolutely fab, but I'm biased towards a red roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest1 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Quick question for you @MIkeyv60 You said some positive tabouthings adaptive cruise control. I'm a fan of regular cruise control especially to keep a lid on my speed in certain situations. However I have never tried the adaptive version. Now that you're a good few months in, what is your view on the adaptive version -- still positive, any drawbacks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1flyguy Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have adaptive CC on my car, I would describe it as ‘odd’ Its weird at first but you get used to it. The settings allow for 3 different distances to the vehicle in front albeit I find the shortest distance still quite far! I would personally say it’s good if you don’t mind an intrusive system as it feels very mechanical in its application of distance keeping. However on an empty motorway it’s just as good as any other CC. In contraflows it may be better as people watch their speed more often but on motorways people break and their speeds vary considerably so the system will become annoying.

Seems strange when is brakes for you as it tends to slow you down more earlier than you would normally so maybe you would get a bit closer on normal cruise, normal cruise can be a bit frightening as you could approach a car extremely quickly and it seems out of your control, a bit like being a passenger. AAC brakes for you so it makes than decision earlier which can make the difference of you hitting the vehicle in front or not. It also stops you when you go to pull out and the car in front hasnt gone or is hesitant, sounds like im impatient but we have all done it? One thing which is odd and you have to be aware of it if say set at 70 and you come up behind a slow vehicle and cant pull out so speed drops when you indicate to pull out the car then starts to maintain its set speed so can accelerate quick hard. It an excellent safety device would recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I had it in our last VW. Really great system and I would have had it again in a heartbeat, but it's not available on a manual car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
