How can two 981s be so different?

Firstly, forget any with push/pull buttons on the steering wheel. Go for the paddles. Nobody will want one with the buttons when you come to sell.
I tried five standard suspension cars before the PASM version I bought. Standard was OK, but PASM gave more comfort in normal mode, which suits me, and a firmer ride in Sport setting.
Maybe you didn't like either of these and preferred the middle setting of the standard suspension? I'd rate PASM as one of my top three "must haves" in speccing a car. PSE wouldn't even reach my bottom three - awful droning at 70mph. Gave me a headache in a courtesy car.
Have you tried a 2.7? I preferred it to the 3.4, but then I preferred normal and 14 way seats!
Can you have the switchable exhaust without the PSE?I tried five standard suspension cars before the PASM version I bought. Standard was OK, but PASM gave more comfort in normal mode, which suits me, and a firmer ride in Sport setting.

Thanks for your feedback on PASM, I'll give another one a go when on comes up.

On 20in wheels I'd defo have PASM - I think it's really good. On 19s it's desirable but not essential.
PSE? I tend not to press the 'listen to me I'm a knob' button but in my experience (981 GTS and 991 T) it makes no difference to the sound/noise at a steady cruise. See what you think.

Yes, mine's on 20's. I had PSE off in the courtesy 981 and the drone was still noticeable compared to no PSE at all.On 20in wheels I'd defo have PASM - I think it's really good. On 19s it's desirable but not essential.
