As you move through the generations everything about the car gets a bit better. The 996 does feel a bit light in the front end especially at speeds above 90. The 997 is tighter and yes the seats are way better, as are the electronics. The 991 is my wife’s (!) it’s her baby. She can get groceries in it or embarrass the local mustang owning teens. It’s bigger, faster, tighter and more luxe than the others. I’ve driven the 992, fast but not yet a fan. And in all honesty my favorite? The 996…it is the most fun to drive BUT the F77 997 is a beast :-).
the 996 is really fun to drive on the limit.. when I drove a 996GT3 I was amazed at that car… still am

FSI 4.0 engine vs stock 3.6 in the 996.2. Scary fast and an elongated torque band. All in a good way, no complaints.

That thing makes the engine just sign above 5k rpm. It's a glorious, glorious sound.
