PASM standard with three manually selectable modes ('Normal', 'SPORT', 'SPORT PLUS')?

[W1NGE]

There is nothing to confirm, just discrepancy between standard specs. I assume my previous build is linked to older spec.

The spec hasn't / won't have changed, just a more verbose / helpful description.

Porsche websites are increasingly useless at detailing the basics and force you to delve deeper into the configurator rather than provide a standard spec and list of detailed options on the model page. Years back they did and was easy to download a "brochure".

I am a little older, I remember the days where you got a printed model brochure, colour map and separate price list ;-). Overall, much, much easier nowadays.

There are some minor differences across Europe with Switzerland and UK being outliers. Still mood mode is neither mentioned in options nor standard spec in UK (DE mentioned as option). Like sound (mentioned, but not specified), it's hidden in general model overview. Luckily mood mode in UK is not marked as optional extra.

Still not sure if I should get Matrix HD. Is there any additional functional advantage despite lane brightening? I wasn't too happy with standard Matrix, laggy activation of high beam in comparison to Mercedes for example.

I have HD on my 911 and it is simply fantastic and a step change above standard matrix (mine was OK) and in particular illuminating around other vehicles with a clearly noticeable delineation. Downside is the cost and if you do little night driving is pointless as an upgrade.

Mood mode is not something I'd stress about and is all about interior lighting, music, seating, VLC roof adjustments. Gimmick period.

I do quite a lot of night driving, in particular for long distance I like to start in the dark. I optioned it so thanks for confirming it's worth it.

I like to think I will use Mood modes a lot. Usually I program seating for city, motorway and B roads/fun so I think this would be quite useful. Thank's for the link, I was hoping I could program suspension settings as well. I think this is a miss.

Drive Mode "Individual " is for that purpose as per other Porsches.

I am a one button guy. Seat and suspension combined would have been nice. No dealbreaker but with both configurable in PCM it's a miss in my books.
