Matthias said he was surprised by the setup of the car. Going fast with the electronics turned off, as soon as you turn in the car starts oversteering slightly, thereby rotating into the turn. Could have to do with torque vectoring or brake steer, and apparently it's a lot of fun. He says the 991 has become more refined in everyday driving, but a lot sharper to drive (and better sounding) than the 997 when you go for it. He is very pleased that Porsche didn't make the car understeer for safety reasons.
All in all, similar to Chris Harris' review.

^ one of best things about the new exhaust sound is the bubble after downshifting.
