We have a 2020, I have M Sport and Shadowline package. I had to buy the black grill since they didn’t black all the chrome, easy and hard to fix but worth it. I wish the calipers were only M Sport brakes - not given for M sport package I got somehow. My instrument cluster isn’t a screen, it’s the retro type with some screen (2019), no Sport+ yet since they reserved for later years - you can code it

As long as the brakes do the job, they are good......unnecessarily bigger brakes equals more weight so would be detrimental. I think I would maybe want to compare the EPS vs past gen Boxster hydraulic steering and see which is better....if the EPS has less road feel, that would be my gripe (would be the same for many brands!).

I owned the original Boxster back in 1998. Great driving car but back then I suggested that the back wndow should be real glass (not plastic), the soft top should be red for red interior, and the side air intakes should be bigger and lower like a jet fighter. People scoffed at me. Look at it now!

There is an obsession with the S mainly across the pond, I have driven both base and S back to back and the way you are driving this particular car there will be no noticeable difference if you had an S or base, this applies to most average drivers under normal driving conditions. The S is easier to drive due to the larger torque band, if you are intending to track the car then S is recommendable, if just for bragging rights then you just wasting your money. Just my own experience of both cars, what was more substantial was the manual gearbox over a PDK.

Apart from the fact that you've just disabled your alarm sound, which just why would anybody ever do that? What you've just done is disable a warning feature that's built in to the car. The car is double beeping for a reason, and it's not just to be annoying. There is a fault with your car that needs diagnosing and fixing rather than just disabling the honk. Also if anybody is getting a single horn beep when locking, that is also a warning sound that means you need to go back to the car and take action. It happens when several things in the car aren't locked properly, such as the doors, the glove box, the arm rest lid or boot/bonnet lids. Search "Why does my Porsche BEEP when I lock it?" on youtube. Bottom line is you should not be doing what is being shown in this video, you should be getting the underlying problem fixed. It's not normal for the cars to be making this sound, it's a warning sound not just the normal lock sound of the car.
