Why less is more with the Porsche 911 - The Perfect 992? | 4k

So 3.5 seconds to 60mph & 180mph top speed from the base spec model. Why would you need anything quicker?

Quality content Joe, 4k camera work is brilliant, keep up the great work mate.

Excellent review! Really appreciated you pointing out the nuances (lack of tire noise and being able to hear the engine and exhaust sounds better, etc.) and comparisons to M4, M2 and other Porsches. This base model would be a contender for an all around one car stable. I like that it seems to provide a pure driving experience and closer to an analog car of the past. The simplicity is a nice antidote to the complexity of today.

I absolutely love the semi-retro interior. Interiors on new cars is mostly "too much" with their swooping lines to every direction and spaceship looking details everywhere

Heated 18 way seats, cruise control, DAB radio, and TPMS are my must haves. Every time I watch a 911 review it makes me realise how lucky I am to have one. It's all the car you need.

Joe, I bought my 992 CARRERA in Sept 2021 (MY2022). There were only 6 registered in the UK that year. I was loaned a GTS when my car went in for an update and I was afraid I would be disappointed afterwards. I wasn’t. I love my CARRERA. It’s a truely great and excited car. There is nothing BASE about it, although I did specify quite a lot of extras, which were unnecessary but just stroking my ego. Best car I have ever owned. I just love it. Great review of a great car. Thank you.

Like many, I grew up with the 911 as my dream car. Owned a 991.2 C2 a few years back and loved it. Purchased it with 12k miles for $77k. Fast forward to 2 years ago and I purchased a 992 C2S new. Ordered it and got a $5k discount off MSRP. The dynamics of the new 911 are great but the new car prices are absolutely delusional. I was Porsche’s biggest fan 2 years ago and prior but no way would I pay $125k for a decently option base 911. The dynamics are fantastic with the new 911 but the engine sound is just bad. The interior is nice but then again it should be at that price point! The BMW M2, M3, and M4 are way better values. I have since owned a new 2023 M3 xDrive and now an M8 which I bought used in perfect condition with warranty and a 40% discount on MSRP. The interior of the 911 does not hold a candle to the M8. The M3 interior is also just as good as good as the 911 and it will hang with a 911 C2S all day on the street as far as performance goes (my C2S was $135k which would be $150k now and my M3 was $85k). My advice having owned these models, unless you are filthy rich and money is no object at all, avoid a 911. Get a Cayman, Boxster, or an M car. Spoken from someone who had 911 posters on his wall growing up. They are completely overrated for the price and the 4.0 in the Cayman or Boxster sounds way better than all non naturally aspirated 911’s. They are also just more fun to drive period.

Another great review Joe, once again a step up on your production and content. And I love my base (manual) 997.2 👌

Superb review Joe of all the performance anyone could ever need surely! A stunning car, looks gorgeous in yellow too! Reduced tyre roar is always a massive bonus! Loving your content Joe, more Porsche please ! lol. Cheers. PS Sorry to say, BMW will never compete with this! Enjoy the race.

Just got a preowned 992 C2S ... and what a machine ... wow. Great impressions and thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for such an amazing video! Is amazing to see how capable the base 911 is

Good honest review Joe 👍. Thanks for sharing

Joe, it continues to impress me immensely how through your reviews are! All bases covered, from on road manners, in cabin creature comforts & worthy purchase competition - all the way to little niggles that will erk a potential owner, day to day. Thanks so much!🚗:face-red-heart-shape:

Awesome video. You have a way of conveying the actual driving/ownership experience that’s just excellent - similar to your GT3 Touring vid (a must-watch for anyone interested in that car) which provided even more detail of how the car felt in your chatting and comparing impressions with Patrick. On the options, there’s a lot of very expensive pieces of black things that one could add to the exterior that I could live without. The standard wheels are also fine. I would spend the £500 for two-tone interior, which really lifts the look compared with black-on-black-on-black and is some bargain elegance compared with the more exotic colour/material options that can add up to £20k+! If I were feeling flush, I might have the glass roof too. Paint colour is obviously often optioned… I actually don’t mind the no-charge yellow on the press car, and something I might be alone in moaning about is that UK number plates can really spoil a look sometimes. The yellow rear plate can stand out horribly against some colours - not a problem on the yellow press car! And, interestingly, if you look at the Porsche configurator’s rear views you’ll find that they change the colour of the number plate to exactly match the paint colour you choose - so perhaps it isn’t just a me thing!

I’ve just found your channel Joe, great review and love the new 992!! An absolute weapon 🤣👌🏽🧨

As ever, great review Joe👏👏👏

Great review. SOOO glad you focussed on steering feel as BMW have totally forgotten about this and most reviewers sadly ignore this key aspect to give a favourable review and not get blacklisted by manufacturers.

Great review Joe - you made a compelling case for 'less is more' !

Brilliant Joe! I fully agree, what more? Another positive factor for such acceleration is how light it is! Cheers, Tom.
