2007 Porsche Cayman S — need advice: Physical buttons are disappearing again — good or bad?

Automakers keep moving basic controls between touchscreens and physical buttons depending on the generation. What controls do you absolutely want to remain physical? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

New-model numbers always look better than curb weight and tire size. Check whether your 2007 Porsche Cayman VIN is actually in the affected batch before you plan a dealer day. That's where I'd start. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Software recalls make me ask how much of 'driving' lives in a module now. On a 2007 Porsche Cayman, I'd care more about the remedy and downtime than the press wording. I'd do that before spending real money. On “need advice: physical buttons are disappearing again,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd wait for the actual TSB/recall population, not the headline. If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2007 Porsche Cayman ownership costs yet. I'd do that before spending real money. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. I'll update if anything new shows up.
