I thought my old '88 targa was great. Towards the end of the time that I had it, it had gotten a bit smelly because of an oil leak, but I thought it was very comfortable to ride in. It's come out today and in the last week or so of looking at more modern Porsches, that she thought it was absolutely not comfy in the slightest. But this new one with the PASM is actually very comfy, and she likes the sport seats. And, I can turn the sport button on when I was less civilized. The difference in exhaust note and ride is more than I expected which is awesome. I've read somewhere that the PASM suspension in soft mode is softer than a non-S boxster/cayman, and in sport mode is firmer than an S when the driving and road calls for it.
