I know the flames are coming, but geez, I felt nauseated during the extended test drive when I was the passenger. When I was driving, it wasn't as bad, but still you feel and hear every bump in the road. The last sport car I have ever own was an '85 Supra when I was in college (I bought it used, so I am not that old
), and even that car was not this rough...that I can remember. Ever since I have always driven sedans, so I guess I prefer the soft rides.
The car has a slight hesitation when you first step on the accelerator. Is that normal?
In any case, the car will be for my wife, and she's ok with it so that's what matters.

The 991 is a cushy GT. If anything is far more insulated that previous 911s. You definitely do not want a sports car. A chauffeured limo perhaps?

The 991 is supposed to be much more smoother than it's predecessors. Indecently, I owned a Supra back in college. Can't remember that far back to compare. My only worthwhile advise to you would be to spend more time driving the car, perhaps shortly after driving a GT3. Cheers.

Avoid the tracks then, mate! Just joking. I keep going back to the GT3 for that raw experience. It just seems to be such an undiluted ride. I am very tempted to reconsider the 991 plan for a GT3. My pain threshold may be slightly higher from years of getting bashed on the rugby pitch; or I'm missing some brain cells that register pain. There are some here that DD their GT3-believe it or not!

Similar scenario with the dynamic engine mounts, although there is no selection, hence "dynamic".

Too rough? Are you serious? wow... I thought it rode beautifully during my drive... something I could happily live with on a daily basis. Perhaps you are not a sports car kind of guy.
