I agree with you on all counts other than I can't comment on Power Steering Plus. Yes, there is a beat-tone at maybe 40 mph or so when only one window is open. Having both open seems to cancel a lot of it out. Just last week I started driving on Interstates without the windstop, and I don't think there's more buffeting. The view out the back is clearer, too, without that mesh. Having the windows down, too, is tolerable. I need to borrow my 986 to compare. And, although it The base 986 seemed to actually [i]increase[/i] its rate of acceleration with higher speeds, but the 981 (S in my case) is exhilerating. Pulling away from 15 mph toll booths in 3rd gear and flooring it gets me to an indicated 80 in two eye blinks.
One other observation: the rearview mirror seems to have much more residual reflection from the night setting. I see the clouds in the sky and tree tops a lot more than I recall with the 986.
