I’d have any 981 over any of these Porsche Golf Rs....the driving experience, for a driver, is simply on a different level. The residuals would appear to confirm this.

nice to see the 981 bullstters are still alive and well. Go pedal your usual horsest in someone else’s thread. Residuals lol, yes I’ve lost so much money on it I’ll never be able to afford another car. enjoy your prehistoric pos.

I tried a 718 on standard suspension and 20" wheels too. Like you I found it unacceptably hard. PASM on the 981 does rather spoil you. Having tried a 981 on standard suspension and 20" wheels I'd definitiely agree that the 718 is noticeably harder - and puts it over the edge of acceptability.

This is something that concerned me when I bought the car, and one of the reasons for speccing it on 18"s. However having actually tried the 20"s without PASM I have to say for me it is actually fine, although firm. Perhaps the 718 PASM on comfort setting is softer ?
