    Re: Dan Neil's review of the 991S

    I think you're right. I seems like everyone feels they have to say something about the steering because everybody else has said something about the steering. But no one wants to risk saying they like it in case the consensus goes the other way.

    I think he's just stating what we would all accept - it's technically the best ever.  That's only half the story...

    These 991 reviews are starting to seem like a competition to see who can sqeeze in the most backhanded compliments, I hope the 981 fares better.
