Overal it looks nice enough, but it's lost a bit of character at the rear, and those bonnet shut lines are too angular.. Hate the exhaust design quite frankly. The all important cup holders are an afterthought. I suppose they'll delete the drivers central cup holder on the manual version.. . The pdk gear selector is hideous.. I'll be in the minority when I say this, but I actually use the pdk gear selector in manual mode a lot, which doesn't look like it'll be possible now.. The interior in general is meh... kerb weight up by 55kg.. Colours are nice though..
Happy to be sticking with my 991.2 C2S for some years to come..

Thanks Semerka a nice review. Lovely clean modern looking car IMHO but clearly one needs to wait for the hybrid to get the real leap change - the GTS or perhaps it will be a new designation ;)

I’m happy to be sticking with my 991.2 too. :)

No longer possible to change gear via the ‘selector’ with PDK. Just move between N & D & R.

Manual changes by steering wheel-mounted paddles only, which Mr JWW didn’t like, in his video review.
