You need a premium quality car to get that as standard. Like my old and much lamented 2003 Mondeo.Do any Porsche cars have a heated front windscreen?

My 1935 Morris 8 used to have a pair of electric elements and two way switch suckered onto the windscreen plugged into the aux power outlet.
I liked Porsche better when it had no accountants.
If I may intercede...
Where are you Porsche lovers going to use these machines to their full potential without inconveniencing (at least) other legitimate road users?
If you are not intending to use the full potential of these vehicles.. why are you buyng them?
I really do not intend to be a 'spoilsport' and I'm not really just sniping at Porsche.. but in a world where the national speed limit is 70 mph..what is the point?
When was that? Just before they nearly went bankrupt?
It's a variation on the "Only air-cooled Porsches are real Porsches" riff.

I've tried to like 911s, never really have. Caterhams and similar I get. 911s less so. I've been in then, can't get excited. M3s are the same. Give me a well sorted nat asp hot hatch first, all day long. Modest power, I don't mind. Still fun. I'd rather try to find and use 80% of 120 bhp than half of 400.

Apparently someone used to use a Porsche 917 on the street! What a noise.
Guilty as charged. However I drive it because it came to me dirt cheap from a friend and it does 45+ mpg with stomping performance. It drives like a saloon, not at all like a 911. It's this experience that makes me want a smaller hatch more, in fact. I hate to admit this last bit, the Mondeo was a better car to drive on a long trip, and easier to live with.Is that why you drive a 245bhp, 1.6 tonne coupe?
Absolutely. I used to own a Caterham, I get it. As far as practicality goes, I have to be able to get a bike in it. Yes, I know about roofracks, but they're a pain. My current car does this well enough, it eats motorways and drives like the A5 in a party frock that it is. It's no sports car, but 200+ bhp and 4wd outperforms me on a public road. I do have to confess that it looks good and there is a feelgood factor that's missing from a Mondeo with rusty arches and a dent from a previous owner in every panel. It looks the part for the job. Not too flash, but "nice motor Steve. Is that the 3 litre then? Oh, very nice, I bet that moves when you want it to" is always good to hear, even if I don't like to admit it.I@stevec67
Please don’t think that a good 911 needs to be driven anywhere near flat out to be enjoyed.
A proper sports car’s chassis is a real treat when compared to a stiffened hatchback’s, and then there’s the music. And the feelgood factor. And the practicality.
Most very definitely. They grip and go, and go, and go, then when they do start sliding you realise that you are going very fast indeed and that you ran out of talent 20mph ago. In my case at Le Mans, cue gravel trap. If that happens on a public road, the scenery may be less forgiving.But a Caterham can kill you...
