Today I am at long last driving the 992 generation Porsche 911 Turbo S - a car with a lot of power, a lot of tech and a lot to say. However, for me the rest of the 992 generation hasn't quite worked. Is the Turbo S any different?

    That's not a cup holder James. It's the PBSS (Porsche Beverage Support System). 😁
  • As per, great video, and an honest take on what's going on in the Porsche World. Sure beats some of the shyster channels out there!! 👍
  • @markdance574
    Two major problems exist - 1 U.K. roads are worse than ever 2 - Porsche’s are faster and heavier than ever ( meaning there’s now a lot more pot holes to hit )
  • @karimkalache712
    I was looking at one of these during covid but after careful consideration went for the 1999 Fiat Bravo with intermittent fuel pump issue!
  • @mattsurrey6138
    Love how everyone complains about the outer dials being obscured in the 992, then in the next breath reminisce about how the 964 or 993 were so amazing... 😂

    15:13 Series III 16:03 AMG A 45 S 18:23 MG F 18:58 WRX STI 21:12 640 Gran Coupe Hey James, I really appreciate you always putting in clips of nice cars randomly spotted on camera during your reviews! I've been noticing these for a long time but I think this is the most number of cars I saw in a single video. It's fun looking for them throughout any of your videos!
  • @hami_1012
    It's objectively the best 911 ever. The question is if you want perfect, because many don't.
  • @mr.nobody673
    The best thing about Porsche making a car this good? It encourages people to explore the older models even more. Good engineering, great performance and reliability improves the brand. That means people who have more modest means will explore older 911's of all types with more confidence and interest. And that is a good thing.
  • @avogoofy5130
    As he say he needs to be critical, less than 1% will ever be able to appreciate everything the car has to offer. A 911 will always be a dream for many of us. Even if the experts find things they don't like about it.
  • @993isgawd
    I've been a 993 'caretaker' for about 17 years running, and as such what I lament the most about the recent and current generations of 911s is how much they've grown with each successive generation. I thought the 991 was as big as it should be, but Porsche obviously thought otherwise.
  • @user-hz4gd4mv2e
    Blimmin lovely video. Recently moved into a cab version. Quite sublime. Thanks, Simon
  • @IanObzi
    I agree with a lot of this but as a previous 911 owner which I used daily, was absolutely faultless and relatively cheap to run I find myself looking to buy the Turbo S rather than a Ferrari or Aston.
  • @neilrobson3064
    A car that will destroy pretty much anything over a standing quarter isn’t “laggy”……
  • @swayp5715
    A lot of finesse in this review and I think it was quite fair in the end. The gentleman has a lot of experience and his presentations are great to watch. ❤
  • @dwightmoore3060
    Boy, I have to disagree about the cupholders. The previous generations of 911 had in-dash cup"holders" that worked better as cup ejectors. The new 911 is the first to have a cupholder that will securely hold a drink without fear of imminent disaster. I have a friend whose cupholder let the drink bounce and spill - and then it dripped directly in the HVAC fan control and gummed it up to the point that it had to be disassembled. This new design is a huge improvement!

    Braun Shaver gear shifter knob..,,,. I can’t unsee that now 😂😂😂😂
