Now where I saw the bigger difference was how the car felt. It felt much larger, and a bit more luxury like vs the Boxster. I also mean the suspension - it felt a bit softer and you could sort of feel the weight a little more.

By comparison, the Boxster feels a bit more connected to the road - and more svelte.


Are these what other people feel? I did not push them on curves too much, but I just somehow felt I could feel the weight of the 911 more versus the Boxster which feels lighter and more neutral. It may be due to the engine placement.
Things haven't changed much. This is really the difference between a 981 and 991 too. I drive both a lot and each offers a different type of driving pleasure yet still both feel so much like a Porsche. I thoroughly enjoy going back and forth.
