Ride quality is good and driving is fun. Which Porsche can satisfy both the driver and the passengers?

Porsche that is comfortable to ride and can run

I got a question like this on my blog the other day.

Currently my car is a late 991 GT3, but I'm a little hungry for sports driving. Also, from my family, "Ride quality of GT3 is hardThere are quite a few complaints, so "A sports system that emphasizes ride quality and can be used as a reed and can go farI'm looking for.
The ideal car is one that allows rolls and has a soft ride but fast corners, like the 968 I used to ride.
The 718 with PASM is said to be comfortable to ride, but ... I would like advice including the passenger's perspective.

He said.

GT3 is a really great car andYou can do it if you want to use it everydayHowever, the ride quality is hard and the unevenness of the road surface is directly transmitted, soAfter all it is quite painful for passenger seatsI think.

When you drive on the highway,The ride quality at low speeds has changed, and the ride quality is fairly flat and smooth.However, I can't run at much higher speeds.

Regarding the question I received, I think Panamera is good considering the passenger seat and family.

The ride quality of Panamera is harder than that of other luxury sedans, but it is quite smooth in Porsche.Not many people are dissatisfied with this ride when riding in the passenger seat or back seat of Panamera.I wonder if it is.

Rather, I think that Porsche's image of "uncomfortable riding" will change to a rather positive impression. (However, if you want luxury and comfortable equipment in the interior, S class is definitely better)

The good thing about Panamera isIn addition to the comfort of the family sitting comfortably, the driver can also enjoy driving.I think it's there.

The pursuit of family comfort never sacrifices driving and makes it easier.Isn't it a sports car, rather than a sports sedan?The running performance is so high that you can think.

Even if it is a base modelGreat stability and acceleration on the highwayHowever, it runs as if you want to change lanes.

Even so, even when driving on a winding road like the Ashi Driveway, you can experience tremendous athletic performance as if the car had become one size smaller, despite its huge size.

Both "comfort" and "driving performance"In that sense, I feel that Panamera is the best Porsche I have ever rode.

981 or 991 first half is good

By the way, when I asked my husband about the question at the beginning, he said something like this.

If you are currently riding a GT3 and are looking for a two-seater or sports model, I think 981 or the first half of 991 is good.The suspension is supple and the ride quality is not too hardI think it's really good. The ride quality is relatively good even in the passenger seat.
You can ride comfortably in the vicinity without worrying about it, and it feels great to be able to run rhythmically with a supple undercarriage even in the corners of the pass.
The 718 with PASM is certainly comfortable to ride, but it's harder than the 981. If the passenger seat is accustomed to a stiffer ride, that's fine, but if not, you might feel "too stiff."
So, including that, I think the first half of 981 or 991 is good.

He said.

Porsche Boxster GTS (981)

If you pursue driving performance, the suspension will inevitably become stiff, so if you are not the latest high-performance Porsche, the passenger seat may be able to enjoy driving with confidence.

However, this area also changes greatly depending on individual tastes, so it would be better to consult and decide by going to a test drive together. Nowadays, I think that if we can share the process of purchasing a car together while saying that it is neither a family nor a car, the car life after that will change significantly.

    Thank you for taking up the question.

    The 981 has only been driven once. Although 991.1 has been driven several times, I don't remember the ride quality. If I have a chance, I would like to test drive from the viewpoint of ride quality.

    I have been riding Panamera several times, and I have no complaints about ride comfort and performance, but I think that it is big, expensive (!) And unrealistic to use with only two couples.

    As you said, it's fun when you're worried. Have fun choosing a car.

    Thank you for your always interesting articles.
    It's true that the ride quality will change depending on your experience and taste.

    In the case of my wife (specializing in the passenger seat), neither 718 Cayman (without PASM) nor 991.2 Carrera (PASM standard) have been said to be hard.
    Rather, it seems that people with larger rolls such as SUVs and one-boxes are more concerned. It seems that the smaller the roll, the smaller the lateral G, because the gravity G is not applied.

    Also, it seems to be compatible with the sheet.
    In the case of long-distance running, he said that his back hurts when he is Subaru B4, but he became Cayman and it disappeared, and Carrera is less tired.

    Another point, which was not mentioned this time, is also related to the mileage. The 718 Cayman without PASM felt quite stiff when it was a new car, but after running about 25,000 km, I thought that it became quite supple. There is not much change in 991.2, but I feel that it is a little more supple now after 30,000 km than when it was a new car.

      Thank you for everything!
      Your wife, you're used to sports cars ... it's really cool!

      As you said, the car is compatible with the seat,
      Ride quality is different in various respects such as mileage and tires, so I can not say unconditionally.
      I thought again that it was difficult.
