reginos:
I prefer the 997.2 to the 991.1 at "normal" speeds and twisty roads where the old car is more interactive and more rewarding to get it right i.e. more fun
I disagree. Had a 997 C2 GTS Cab, drove a 997 C4S Cab recently (the car of my wife's friend), the 991 C4 GTS Cab with PDCC is miles ahead in drive feel and agility.
The 991 is more composed at very high speeds (starting from near 200km/h), in a range where the 997 starts feeling risky. But such speeds are relevant only in Germany and even there for a minority.
It is better to drive a slower car relatively fast than a faster car relatively slow.
Yes, the 991 feels more stable at higher speeds but like I said before, there is a pretty obvious difference at lower speeds as well. I do not know why people have that impression of the 991 but it may have to do with the first model year cars with that flawed electric steering setup. Even Chris Harris noticed that.
