Power Steering Plus on a 2018 GTS: Feel?

Bear in mind the steering system is electric, not hydraulic. So with or without the low speed assist, it's still going to feel like an electric system, which is rather numb compared to a traditional system.
All the option does is make low speed wheel turning easier (parking lot speeds). Having it on your car does not change the nature of how the car feels at normal driving speeds at all. I have had the car without and with the option and I personally think it's worth having.

I specced PSP on mine but I like low-effort steering. I was pleased the other day in a tight restaurant car park to be able to get my GTS into and out of a space that a guy in a Mini gave up on! The RAS helped a lot as well.
As an aside, as it’s electric, why don't Porsche have a setting for steering weight in the PCM, along with different selectable modes? That would satisfy everyone. They could call it PSP Extra and charge a bit more. Win/win!
Edit: They could even use some of the spare buttons on the lower console that are blank even if you have every option available...

And just to be clear for any who've not had it, when the gentlemen above say that it helps them parallel park, they mean it makes the already-light standard steering become even lighter. Not that it makes the car more agile by reducing the turning radius so it can cut more sharply into a space. (But RAS does the latter, so it would actually help to park in a tight space that possibly couldn't be parked in without it.)

Had it on my Cayman S, don't on the Carrera S. I really liked it on the Cayman, but really don't miss it enough on the Carrera to pay to have it activated. If I were speccing a new car that was to be a DD, I'd probably spec it, as I don't think it takes anything away from the car and it's not very expensive, but I'm really not sure. So to sum it up, my answer is - meh.

I have regular steering on my 2wd GTS, the steering is pretty light at parking speeds.. don't think it needs the +
