Our iX M60 has it. I never know it is there when I am carving country roads nor changing interstate lanes at speed — other than at slow speed tight corners I am sometimes amazed made that tight corner so easily.

Same here: I spec’ed it because underground parkings are so tight, it is a big pain because of the wheelbase when there are long tight turns with borders! (They like this kind of thing in Europe).
First day with my TMS, years ago, I was unable to exit the parking without scratching my rear left wheel… Shame on me.
I never drive a car with RWS, I hope the « surgical » behavior you’ve mentioned is not a « comfort issue » for both driver and passengers.

The « surgical behaviour » I mentioned are not my words, this was mentioned by the Rennthusiast guy in the video above. He is a real Porsche enthusiast, and has been driving them all his life. I think his experience has more weight than those journalists who test drive their cars for just a day or so.
On your mention of scratching rear wheel, there was one comment I read on Taycan Forum that said, parking too close to the curb on the road makes the rear wheel prone to scratching when getting out.

Similar feedback from my driver today at PEC ATL. Have a write up if of interest.
I am by no means a race car driver but it was awesome. Chatting with several instructors, none of them had a bad thing to say about RAS, they were actually pretty enthusiastic about it. And THEY are all seasoned race car drivers.
It they think it’s good… it must be. 😅

Their professional experience says it all.
On a more mundane, personal level since we got it first time for us in our iX, we will never go back. We were driving around today in it, and several times in different crowded, large complicated suburban shopping lots it enabled us to avoid a back-n-forth to clear something. It makes daily driving in tight locations much easier.

To be thorough (and fair), a couple of them said that it didn’t use to be great but nowadays, it’s rock solid and they see no negatives to it.
And they drive these cars day in day out, they have 4 to 5 digits laps with the tech. 🤯
