991 Cab S is here

will post pictures after i stop driving. I'm in love again after 22 years. She is beautiful. few preliminary observations

1.dealer did recommended 1500 mile break in
2. key fob does not open or close roof
3. full bra is invisible
4. sports exhaust + cabriolet=nirvana
5. electric steering is a non issue (last car was 996 cab). feels direct, weighted and a responsive(not numb at all)
6. low end torque feels reduced.
7. engine stop start is annoying. it can be disabled but i wonder if coasting feature is also disabled.
8. the profile of the cab with roof up looks great!
9. ride/handling is amazing. no cowl shake to speak of and even with 20's the ride is forgiving and compliant.(i drive on rt 3 in NJ most days into NYC
overall its an amazing piece of engineering and its gorgeous

Congratulations on your new cab; I'm jealous!! Drive it in good health.
The coast function is disabled if you disable the start stop (including by driving in sport mode).

First off, congrats!!! I can't wait to see pictures. I'm exited most about item 4 and this is the reason I didn't opt for the Burmester sound system

I heard Item 2 only works with the Premium Package Plus with Easy Entry. Do you have this option?

For item 7, I heard the coasting feature is unfortunately disabled when engine stop start is disabled. Kind of unfortunate as it would have been nice if they were not bundled together.

I'm thinking that this is a result of wanting to increase fuel efficiency.
