I haven’t tried - will give it a shot today.

I wasn't able to find any road clearance figures to help make a decision. I'm coming from an F10 M5 and I keep wondering if SPASM would lower the car further than the M5 stock height.

I tried coasting and works fine.
While driving in D Mode, pull both paddles simultaneously & release them. Gear in display starts flashing and car is now coasting. RPMs drop to about 900 I think.
Pull either paddle to re-engage gear.

Yes, pulling the paddles works fine also mine, but the coasting must work also automatically when we release the gas pedal without any engaged manually.

Have you try to do that coasting mode automatically by your 992?

In stop and go driving, around town?

Prisma

If I release the gas while driving, it remains in gear and engine braking takes over - so it does not coast.
I think it makes sense and I do use the engine braking quite often unless someone is close behind. Now I know how to coast I will use that too when appropriate.

Great review - thanks!

One question: Do you have Apple CarPlay and is it wireless?

Prisma

I have not noticed any delay or lag when moving off or darting around. I have not been over 4000rpm yet and the car is plenty fast enough already. Awesome traction.
Motorway driving is also very responsive; changing speed to overtake is pretty much immediate. Again, I’m driving quite gently; I’m not even taking advantage of kick-down yet for example.
i’m sure there is some small amount of lag, but I have not consciously perceived it.

Another few hundred miles then I will see what she can really do. She is fast and agile now, so I’m quite excited to see her in her full glory...and then there’s launch control to try 🤤

PS: I always drive in Sport, due to the sound. In Sport Mode the car always hovers around 2000rpm which may help reduce any lag. Maybe Normal Mode has a bit of lag...?

Prisma

Apple CarPlay works only wired for me. In wireless/Bluetooth I only get audio out.

Strange. My dealer just came back from a trip where he tested all the models. He claimed he had CarPlay working wirelessly. He said it takes a couple steps in order to set up.

Maybe because I am in the US? Maybe different between countries?

Tire "roar" and a droning PSE killed it for me in the last 911 (991.2) I had. I'm hoping the cabin in the 992 is quieter on worn concrete roads than the last generation was. I have no chance of test driving a new 992 without PSE though, my dealer eequips every car they bring in with that option. I just want the car to go about its business quietly, but I must be the lone soul who likes his car that way.

If I'm not mistaken, PSE is something turned on/off, and PSE Off is basically the same as non-PSE cars....

Having now experienced the 992 for 3 months I personally love the car .
However TYRE ROAR is a major issue for me as the roads around here are unforgiving.
It is a shame as the car is a major improvement over my previous 991 GTS .
Could this be due to the 21” rears ?
Hope Porsche can correct this problem for future models .

Since tires change based on region and even year, it would be great to know which specific tires you're talking about. From the spelling I'm guessing UK?

Yes - - Stock Goodyear Eagle F1 21”
Have a friend with Pirelli P Zeros 21” on his 992 — same problem.
All my previous 911’s have experienced some Tire Roar but this seems excessive— again I ask could this be caused by 21”.
