I want to ask the hardcore Porsche guys here a question:

Porsche and 911 in particular are considered the pinnacle of automotive engineering excellence. But is there something you miss from other cars you have owned or driven? Is there a car brand that does something a little better? For e.g. steering feel of a Lotus or transmission shifts of a Ferrari or something like that?

I will leave out the obvious: I know Porsche is not known for luxury of a Rolls Royce/Bentley… So :)

    It’s amazing that Porsche can sell lane keep assist and adaptive cruise for something like $3,000 when it’s standard on Honda/Acura products, and in my experience works about just as well as those cars.

    The other one that kills me is how garbage Porsche’s base audio systems are. The sound systems in Honda and Toyota rental cars I’ve driven sound better. Even the Bose option that Porsche sells for ~$1,000 is lacking compared to the basic sound system in the BMW I used to own.

    Also, spending over $100k on a 911 or Cayenne for the base interior to be plastic/vinyl of mediocre material quality (build quality is still good) is pretty lame.
