Noticeably quicker than ours even with 110miles on clock

Sounds nicer

However

Ride was rougher without air, noticeable.
Just taken this car out today (now 210 miles showing). Tyre Pressures in the high 20s so may have been a factor. The ride in normal mode seemed more fidgety than the Gen2 Base with PASM/21s that I drove last month on the same 25 mile route. I have ordered std 20s plus Air so will be fine.

Nice car.

Does the S not have PASM as standard? So should be the same as the base if that had PASM.

Yes It should be the same as both had 21 and PASM but the Gen2 Base seemed to ride more smoothly in normal mode (although this from memory and not a back to back comparison but was on roads I drive every day. The Gen2 had done 8k miles and the Gen 3 was brand new so don't take this as gospel that there is a difference).

2.5 / 36 - rear
Correct pressures for normal load.

Was too hasty with high 20s: dividing by 10 gives the right answer! 2.7/2.8 bar so a little high. Made a point of checking after Tracky's comments.
