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 :)

      The touchpads are too small and too sensitive. Makes it a major PITA to do a thing while moving. Requires super fine motions and attention that isn’t in sync with driving in traffic, etc. really distracting.

        I personally like it. Because Mercedes gives you the option of controls. Touchscreen, touchpad, steering wheel pads, voice controls. I only use the steering wheel pads for simple tasks like skipping songs. Otherwise you are right. They aren’t easy to use but not unusable.
