At idle
My previous '14 Cayman S would occassionally at stop give a little "wiggle", apparently slight misfires. My '22 GTS 4.0 does it much more. Anyone else experience this difference? Could it be that the larger engine makes it more pronounced?

Different motors, but neither my recent 991.2 nor my 992 have any kind of hiccup like this. Seems worth mentioning to the dealer. They'll likely say they can't reproduce it, but at least you'll be on record for warranty purposes....
Not to jinx you, but my wife bought a New Beetle when they first came out. She loved it, but about once every other month, she swore it would just die at stop lights. Dealer could never reproduce it, etc. When it got older, we gave it to our niece, and she reported the same thing. Then one day, it died at an intersection and the cabin started filling with smoke. One of the electrical harnesses had a faulty connector that was apparently causing the issue from day one, and the whole harness shorted out and melted from front to back. The fire dept cut the battery cables, but the car was totaled -- harness all burned, burning carpet and whatever was near it. VW wouldn't even give an estimate for fixing it.
