Just watched it, but he messes up and says “sport” button changes suspension. Lol. It does not, you need to hit the shock absorber button. I love how he suggests mismatched seats as I want to do that.

Really good review! Thanks for posting.
He did go into more detail this time about the car and the manual transmission was once again the center of the review.
The .2 RS should've come with a manual option as well!

Touring or no Touring who cares? Exactly. But what does he say at 11:30? I think he feels the wing makes it more beautiful.

I wish it did, but I think most of us know why it doesn’t.

That said, a RS and a GT3 touring would be an amazing garage.

But my heart would go to a boxster spyder to pair with an RS.

Wow great video. Carfection is really pumping out great vids at the moment. If you haven't already, make sure you watch the one they did about the Chiron engine.

Interesting. On a GTS - pressing the Sport Plus button changes the suspension, and the shock absorber button lights up autonomously to reflect the change. Along with a message on the MFD. The dynamic engine mounts change mode also. Although, I suppose that’s not really the suspension.

Does the GT3 operate differently ?

Yes. As per above, he got it wrong, that's why he couldn't tell the difference.. sport button not connected to suspension on gt3. Although, to be honest, pressing suspension button barely makes a difference in feel.. needs a DSC controller.

Can someone explain to me why the touring is slightly louder car? Has there been an official acknowledgement of this perceived RL chatter?

Really good review - don't need the RS in addition to this he says. He is definitely in my top 5 reviewers currently. I am surprised he can't afford one yet. All the other yahoo youtube reviewers seem to be ordering supercars every other week.

The other youtubers buying super cars every week do not make their money from YouTube. Take shmee as an example - very wealthy parents.

No, but perhaps due to the different intake acoustics...
