- the cabin feels more spacious
- the mode change on steering is great
- don’t like the door handles
Well...cabin is exactly the same on both models, door handles are the same, mode change on wheel is via sport chrono - not the model, and 992 is faster than 991.2...so, not sure what you're on about here...

-No, door handles are completely different on 991.2 and 992 (they pop out)
-The car is tiny bit wider and slightly longer wheelbase longer than 991.2
- The cabin is different than 991.2

I think you are confused with my question above vs my review in comparison with 991.2 (I traded it in)

Yes, I ended up with 992S and traded in my 991.2. I was initially stuck between 992 base with chrono and 922S without chrono. But another dealer (owner himself) made me an offer which I could not refuse (large discount) and this other dealer had an 992S with chrono and PSE.
Reasons-
1. Dealer mentioned on track days, one can notice the power difference between S and base.
2. The large discount and good trade in value brought the cost of S almost on par with base.

Congrats. Just drove the base as demo and was left speechless. Its so much better than my 2013 Carrera S coupe that I just didn't want to give it back!
