So the comments about “struggling to overtake” seem a tad daft. Its 0.2 seconds slower ( and we know Porsche tend to under-quote their performance) 0-60 than a Golf GTi which is pretty much the flag bearer for hot hatches. Not seen many reviews that say the Golf GTi “struggles to overtake”.
It is not the 0-60 time that matters it is the in gear acceleration and in particular the pickup.
The pick up should be the same just more weight to pull

If you are in a rush then the higher power of an S /GTS / Turbo will always give more opportunity to overtake; albeit those opportunities are getting less and less as more of UK A roads become 50/40/30 mph zones and other drivers are happy to tootle along in a line of vehicles without wanting to overtake. Of course you run a great risk of losing your license too , or p’ing off other road users.

For the majority of users the base is ample , but some people will never be happy with a base when they can afford something more.

Ditto with the wheels, nothing wrong with 19s, but always plenty of debate about 20 vs 21s!
