Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

My issue was not the ‘subaru’esque beat…but there seemed to be a load of ‘thrash’ at moderate rpm (say 2500-3500rpm) on a light throttle - the sort of speed you might be using driving round town.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Had a loan 718 s pdk for a week from my opc. It’s a 21 plate so nearly new
I absolutely love it. It feels really quick and completely composed
Build quality is first class. Handles so well and the pdk box is sublime
The Bose sound system is ok at best.
Overall I’m very impressed.
Can’t wait to try the 4lt
I tried one, loved the Boxster as a platform but was left a bit disappointed with the refinement from the engine. My issue was not the ‘subaru’esque beat…but there seemed to be a load of ‘thrash’ at moderate rpm (say 2500-3500rpm) on a light throttle - the sort of speed you might be using driving round town. At full throttle it sounded great and good exhaust note. I thought it had tremendous wallop and found it blisteringly fast. People complain about lag, but it’s not too bad and you can drive around that no problem.
Have you not driven the 4.0l? It’s a whole different ballgame. It is smooth as velvet, not as punchy as the S at lower revs but keeps on pulling and pulling and pulling to 8000rpm when turbos have levelled off or given up.
I can’t work out why the 2.5 I drove seemed to have this harsh metallic thrash. After all they are the same engine series, so their timing chains and ancillaries are configured the same. It wasn’t turbo or waste gate noise. I can only think it might be this soundaktor thing.
I wouldn’t criticise anyone going for the S. It’s certainly vivid and exciting. But the 4.0l is pure joy.
I owned a 718 F4T GTS for 3 years and as someone else has said all the talk about that engine is complete utter rubbish , they are amazing cars made every journey a joy , yes I have a 4.0 GTS now but its now but its not because there was anything wrong with previous car there wasnt

You’ll love it. Post us some pictures. Once you get the 25, you’ll be able to tell us whether you can feel the extra 20bhp between the GT4 and the GTS. Mind you, some running in required first I guess.
