Default Thoughts on Power Steering Plus?

2018 Boxster GTS with most options but no power steering plus. I’m told it’s a quick and relatively cheap dealer upgrade as it’s only programmed into the ECU. Some say the car is too small and unlike the 911 doesn’t need it. I’m not so sure and would love to hear other people’s thoughts. Thanks!

Have power steering plus on my 2015 BGTS that I ordered. Not necessary IMO, just software that lessens turning force required at low speed. Wouldn't pay for it again.

Don’t have it on mine. Completely unaware it isn’t there compared to say my Miata.

Solution in search of a problem?

Don't have it, don't miss it. Don't spend too much time in parking lots. Don't see a need on the 911 or Cayman/Boxster platforms. You're not driving a truck and if you don't have the muscles to turn the wheel, you need to hit the gym.
