Not strictly a newbie as I have been on here since 2013 with my 996, but picked up this beauty at the weekend and like to think I got deal of the year (and its only Jan).

Its an OPC Ex Demo car so it has more spec than you can shake a stick at.
One question I have and I cant help feeling its a daft question. Its our first automatic. What should you do when stopping at traffic lights/queus etc when you know you will be stuck for a 30 seconds +.
1. Shift to neutral and put the hand brake on.
2. Shift to park (with or without handbrake)
3. Leave it in drive with foot on brake.
4. Some other option?
Has auto start stop too, hence I think option 1 is the best.
Concerned about warping the discs if its a hard stop. Have also read about transmission wear going into netural all the time (this is possibly older style boxes).
Thoughts and advice appreciated.
