Base with 20" wheels, PASM & Sport Chrono vs. S without PASM or Sport Chrono

Another vote for the Base with options. For a no-track daily, the extra 50 BHP of the S is not needed. Base is plenty for street/daily use.

FWIW, my Cayman has 20" wheels, but neither PASM nor Sport Chrono, and I don't miss those at all.
 
19” wheels. Unless you can’t stand the way they look. Saves money. Better ride quality (slightly) and less chance of bending / scuffing a wheel.
LOL! My Cayman came with 19" wheels. Yeah, that's probably the hot ticket, but I did not care for the Boxster S wheels all that much and bought a slightly used set of 20" Carrera S - all for the looks, not function. FWIW, I did not notice any real difference in ride quality, although I run mine at the lower "Comfort" pressure.

I am a fan of PASM: slightly softer than no-PASM in normal mode, firmer in Sport/Sport+. Very good for a DD.
PASM is one thing I would order if I were going to buy a new one. But the stock suspension is actually very good, so it's not a significant loss for me.

I am also a big fan of Sport Chrono since it gets you “individual” mode.
Maybe I've mis-read the Individual choices, but I don't see anything all that compelling there for me for street use that the Sport button doesn't handle.
