Well, since the OP is in the UK, Lucid is a non starter. Yes, they may be making noises about a RHD version of their "Gravity" SUV (appropriate name, given the look of the thing), but I wouldn't touch the company with a bargepole - at least, now that their former CEO the visionary Peter...

@Beattie: As a fellow Tesla owner dipping their toes into Porsche territory, are you tempted to wait for MY27 - or potentially for a new platform for MY28? That's probably my biggest quandary right now: whether to pay full price for a model that's going to be replaced within the next two years...

I’d like a bit more flexibility vis a vis ride comfort/sport - and I do prefer the feel of smooth leather ;-) thanks again for all the great advice!

Yes, it did have RWS - thanks - so maybe that was it (and of course the 4S didn’t have RWS or PAR) so… if I were to take advantage of the “Black Edition” pricing, it’d have to be a 4S with 21” wheels (plus PAR, RWS, torque vectoring etc). A good compromise?

I could understand that at higher speeds, but I’m talking about steering feel at low speeds around town. Surely PAR isn’t making that much difference is it? I have read somewhere that the GTS does have different steering calibration (but can’t find a definitive link). If I could have GTS...

This is really useful feedback - thanks. However, there was a really big difference in steering feel between a J1.1 4S and the J1.2 GTS I drove… Maybe it was simply the stiffer rubber on the GTS car's 21-inch performance tyres? But even in Sport or Sport Plus I simply couldn't get the 4S to...

I think we're all agreed that Active Ride is a great idea! The issue is ride comfort at slower speeds on less-than-ideal roads (e.g., much of the UK) - and clearly 20-inch wheels give more leeway. The big question for me is whether that would then ruin the sharp, responsive steering I...

Excellent! Which wheel option did you go for please? I suspect that your roads are rather smoother than ours though.

sounds good - thanks for sharing. - clearly better ride than the 21” wheels with Summer Performance tyres. How sharp is the steering with 20” wheels?

Thanks for this - very helpful. Presumably the Max summer tyres have stiffer sidewalls? THE 21” RS Spyder alloys look great, so I wonder if using Summer (non-Max) tyres would be a good compromise beetween handling and low-speed ride comfort (as I think @prj has alluded to).

…and following on from this: if I configure a GTS with PAR I have two choices, either:- (a) Add PAR as part of the £6939 Dynamic Package. This adds "Summer Performance Tyres". or (b) Add PAR on its own, for £6476. Anyone know what sort of 21" tyres I would get with PAR but without the...

Many thanks - and absolutely agree about our diabolical roads (it would be nice if Oxfordshire would quit their anti-car congestion charging, "Low Traffic Neighbourhoods" and 20mph obsession and actually fix the roads!). My question is though: how would 20-inch wheels affect the steering feel...

It would be good to get more feedback on this. I felt that the GTS J1.2 with PAR in “Normal” was a little too stiff.

Porsche Silverstone - though they weren’t then prepared to let me drive a GTS without PAR (which would have answered most of my questions to this forum!).

I need a ventilated steering wheel :like:

Off topic, but if I were to order the 4S Black Edition, is there a third-party option to replace the black side-window trim with chrome? (The only official way is to forgo the Black Edition and add a Silver side-window trim - but that then makes the car £4.5K more expensive)

Thanks for the helpful feedback! - As a small person, I love that you can fold the side bolsters inwards for better grip - so definitely 18-way sport seats for me! - I use A/C all the time, so not sure I need the ventilation. The only time I've used ventilated seats was when driving a...

OK, my confusion was that the "Active Ride" is included in the "Dynamic Package", so that unchecking the latter also removes the Active Ride.

0.6s faster 0-60 time compared to Gen-1 I believe the Gen-1 car had a less-powerful rear motor than the 4S; on Gen-2 I think they both have the same rear motor. Thomas from Autogefühl certainly likes it:-
