I am guilty of regularly standing in my garage admiring the magnificent lines of this car. However, there are a couple of things that seem to break up the curves/lines. The oval gas/petrol lid really doesn't fit the styling, but, I know this is a Porsche trade mark and I'm happy to have it. The only other thing that I wonder about is the door pulls. Many/most new cars have flush pulls that keep the "flat" lines consistent. Without any previous Porsche history, I question if this is also a Porsche trait passed down through the generations. If so, I'm happy to have them as well. If not, I wonder why they have not yet gone the recessed route.

...and a LOT of people don't like them at all.



Personalty, I like the current handles just fine
Looking to fix a problem that didn’t exist. I don’t think I’ve ever cared for flush mounted handles.

I have never given it a second thought but I have had a number of people comment on the cool door handles when they use them.

Personally I am happy with the exterior styling and feel the flush style handles are a bit of a fashion thing and will look dated later.

my2019 CGTS is yellow and I had the door handles done in high gloss black , and the wheels , rear spoiler and sport design. Even the window triangle and trim in high gloss black , just to accentuate it. So I guess you could say I really like them . No regrets and people comment on how nice the contrast looks.

Flush door handles only increase scratches in that area. I like the prodruting handles just fine.
The flush door handles on the new 992 are absolutely horrible. My wife's hand slipped off & she broke a nail opening the door of one this Monday 10th June. Would their constant use lead to scratches? I'm absolutely positive that would be the case, because they're a little awkward & unnatural to use & very shallow (hence why my wife's hand slipped off). For that matter I don't much care for the interior either. The steering wheel is quite cheap & nasty in appearance. The PCM screen is now set far closer to the passenger & further away from the actual driver (instead of centrally located). That just doesn't any make sense to me. Then there's that absolutely pathetic & dumpy little PDK selector. Just why?

Chilli I am 100% with you on the 992. I think the whole of the interior feels cheap and there are far too many scratchy plastics. I also agree that the steering wheel also looks and feels cheap. The 991.2 gen cars with the same interior as our Caymans was definitely the high water mark so far of Porsche interiors
