2007 911 Coupe without PASM

I saw an ad for a 2007 911 coupe. It has 19" Carrera S wheels, but no PASM.
I would use the car as a daily driver-mostly interstate and smooth state roads-no city streets.
The car is out of state and I would hate to go there for nothing.
Do you think 19" wheels without PASM would be too rough?
Currently I drive a 328i sedan with sport suspension and that is rough enough!
Thanks for the input!

Only way to know is to drive it on some roads to see if it's acceptable to you.
Non-PASM suspension stiffness is supposed to fit between the Normal and Sport mode of PASM. For reference, I almost NEVER put my PASM on Sport when driving on streets, only use on very smooth highways, or when I wanna corner quite hard. Even when tracking I rarely switch off Sport on bumpy tracks.

I have an '05 with the 19" Carrera S. I also have an '06 3 series (w/o sport suspension), but my last BMW had sport suspension. If you think the BMW ride is too harsh you will not like any 997 Porsche. The M3 rides a lot smoother. The best advise is to drive different cars with different set-ups.

I drove BMWs for 25 yrs and the last several were M cars. They were all softer than any 911. A 328i Sedan is rough, hmm... Test drive some 911s locally to make sure that is a car you can live with before traveling about. It is no where near as practical nor as cushy as a 328i BMW.

Then just go to you local dealer and test drive a similar car to see how you like its ride. These cars are NOT meant to be comfortable. So, if you're thinking a BMW 3xx is too harsh, I'd definitely look elsewhere.

stock non-pasm is kinda a strange thing - it is pretty soft in front and harsh in rear and car sways a lot. now i have much stiffer springs but overall feel is smoother than with stock shocks/springs.
i think on smooth enough streets you will be just fine.
