20s. 21s available but ride more of a compromise. As it's the wife's and it'll be the family bus makes sense to opt for a smidge more comfort.

Man at PEC said he'd have had 20s too. Handling is unbelievable for a bus.

The demo I had was on 21s and I thought the ride was very good, far better than the RS

Handling as you say was awesome!

21s with PASM, air or standard though?

We opted for 20s with PASM.

Aye, still rides well on 21s, but with out <beep> roads 20s were a tad better.

If that was the view in front of me then I wouldn't be impressed, the back of the coupe doesn't work for me at all.

The vert is fine but not the coupe

The front however has real presence.

To add some balance, I also dot think the back of the Boxster (or Cayman ) is that attractive either.

Interesting. I prefer the vert also, not sure what it is, the back just seems so large, a lot of bodywork by proportion.

In all seriousness, I do like Porsche's.... And I do like the Macan, Panny, GT4, GT3, 918 ... Lot of respect.

I was slightly concerned as to what was going to appear below that headline!
