I am a geezer, not a full fledged dinosaur. As a life long non smoker I can only guess that finding the ash tray at night with the low level of lighting in the 911 might be a challenge. Not that it would deter the average smoker. Most (but not all) smokers just throw the butt out the window and littered.
I have had my 911 since 1995. I don't know that I have even noticed the ash tray light in my car even works. I have certainly driven it at night. It is as useful as the outside rear view mirror defrosters. 90% of the people that have them have no idea how to turn them on, and even fewer have ever needed them. Only once in 24 years of ownership have I used the heated mirror defoggers. They are handy in a heavy frost.
