997.2 v 991 experience
Discussion
My dealer picked up my 997.2 C4S today and left me with a 991 C4S so here is my opinion of a direct comparison based on a short drive this evening.
Suspension. Immediately notice the improved standard suspension. Noticeable smooths out the bumps in the roads which around here have suffered from the freeze last week. PASM in sports mode is also less harsh than 997.2. None of the creaks that bumps sometimes cause in the 997.
Noise. Again road and tyre noise in much reduced. This could be a big selling point for me.
Steering. I haven't had much time to assess but initially feels at least as good.
Exhaust. Much improved sound particularly in sports mode. In fact I had to check that the sports mode in the 991 didn't include the PSE as std. For me no need for PSE.
Interior. Feels like the sitting position is lower or the dash is higher. The new wider central console and gear stick definitely feel higher. The shallower screen caused more reflection in the street lights. Build quality has improved again but I prefer the ergonomics in the 997.
Summary: I'll get used to the interior so have to start saving up!!
