Weren't you just worried about hitting trigger rates, now you're buying Porsches in a recession, rising rate environment.

Turning off auto stop kills deactivation but I didn't know that till today. A little extra throttle solved it too though.
On the flip side fuel economy was great - I averaged a reported 8.5L/100km despite not being particularly gentle on the throttle. My brick of a RDX is lucky to get 10.5L/100km the highway.
Side note: I've never felt as poor as when I talked to the sales guy. They're dealing with 8 (and 9) figure net worths and telling me about the Dr who already owns 6 Porsches who had to fight to get a $400k GT3 and here I am waiting for a tech IPO to write the cheque I need to buy a GTS. My 1% problem, LOL.
