Default Most comfortable 991

I am looking to add a 991 to my GT3
It will double as a bad weather car so C4 is a must and also a long distance car (comfort is a must)
What is the most comfortable 991 on the market ?
Base 991.1 C4 with standard suspension ?

Probably get better responses in the 991 section. A lot of GT owners have never even driven a “regular” 991.

Depends on what you like. I think .2 RS is best ;D

(Turbo S with PASM)

Turbo S hands down if you feel its to much then the GTS 4 or Carrera 4S.

Personally when the WX is bad I take our SUV.

OP, the suspension in the .2 was better and more comfortable than the .1. If you don’t mind the turbos, the .2 is the better car to have as a DD. Suspension and directness of the steering were both improved. I was a .1S owner and I test drove some .2s and they were a step better as a DD, albeit a bit more sanitized feeling. I had no interest in the turbos though.

I daily drive, 60 miles a daily round trip, and use my GT3 for road trips. Just as comfortable and more more fun than my former TTS. I do now use Pilot Sport 4s tires which are quieter, last longer and better in inclement weather than the Cup2 .

Its a simple recipe - standard suspension, 19 inch wheels and the seats that best fits you - this could quite easily be a base Carrera

OUCH - maybe they wish they did if they were ever "caught in the rain" against a TTS

alot of it would depend on the rubber a GT3 is wearing. some pilot sport 4s and the GT3 is just fine in the wet/rain.

Drove a 992 C2S and felt it was very supple as a DD

Each iteration seems to get more Comfy so get the latest I am guessing

In the old days (997 regular Carrera S) PASM in normal mode was "softer" than a non-PASM car.. I'd check on the 992. But i suspect PASM is the one you want.
