No such thing as a dumb question!

It's a software switch that adds more power to the steering rack at low speeds. It dials out as the car reaches 'normal' driving speed.

I like the standard setting, which is nice and firm but requires no great effort in my view. Others prefer much lighter steering at manoeuvring speed and this is what PSP gives you.

It's difficult to answer your question directly, but I guess if you have pretty effortless steering at low speed then you've got it!

+1 for the ‘standard setting’ Nick.

I like the steering on my 991.2, even when at very slow parking speed, where some may describe it as heavy-ish. To me, it just feels ‘right’ and authentic for a proper sports car.

When I borrowed a Macan the other day from Swindon OPC, it was obviously fitted with Power Steering Plus, as its steering felt extremely light, artificially so.

Hi, I'd delete porsche entry, in the current climate of keyless thefts its not worth it.

Second black tail pipes also.

Agree with deleting entry and drive and also with adding sports tailpipes. Whatever spec you end up with it will be a great car

But guys I don't think we've debated the Power Steering+ option enough ;) Maybe it should have its own thread?

Totally agree and PS+ is a must, how else could I easily manoeuvre out of my local cafe’s tight car park whilst holding my bacon sausage and egg bap 👍
