Stefan,

I got your opinion right on first reading as well. Just, I do not agree with it. Maybe 458 Speciale is indeed more civilsed in comparison to its predecessors but, is it more civilised then 991 GT3 for example?  I do not think so... So, is it really valid to compare 458 Speciale to 991 TS? Apple and oranges IMO. 

Neither 458 Speciale or 991 GT3 are designed for daily usage.  991 TS on the other hand can be used daily.

One thing is common for both cars-their excellens.
