As someone with seat time in a fair number of 911 variants, 991's included- Without knowing how the car was optioned, it's really quite hard to say.

If the car didn't have Sport Chrono or Sport Suspension, it certainly may not have felt as sharp as it could have. The most basic 991 I've driven was a 991.1 C2 non-S Coupe w/ PDK and no Sport Options. It was solid, but not as dynamically crisp and exciting as I'd expect. I could see being a little underwhelmed.

On the opposite side, I drove a 991.2 C2S w/ PDK, Sport Chrono, Sport Susp, and Power Pack, and that car made the M4 I drove- non Comp Pkg DCT car- feel downright meek. It killed the M4 in everything- power, gearbox, braking, sharpness, steering feel, handling, even sound.

Various other 911's were all over the spectrum depending on trim and options.

I'd personally recommend trying to drive a RWD GTS model, 991.1 or 997.2. They're the best modern enthusiast 911's for regular use imo.
