Great review- pretty much sums up my decision process. New baby but wanted something that would sardonic the least amount of driving pleasure. I do still think it's outrageously expensive (three months on macanforum turned my $68k S into a $90k turbo) but three weeks in I couldn't be happier, except for the garbage backup camera.
P.S. AS & PTV are SO worth it. Bose is better than Bose on other cars but don't exist as good as the HK/Logic7 in BMWs. Porsche went out of their way to keep the sizzle in the (insanely priced!) Burmester option but the Bose haters (of which I generally am one) are hating on the brand more than the sound. It's decent.
