I don't consider the 911 the bench mark for Porsche given most of the 3L turbo charged Carreras are fairly mundane. The Cayman/Boxster GTS hit the nail on the head for road going sports cars both in 981 3.4L NA guise and 718 4.0L NA guise. The 3.4 sounds significantly better and is better damped for B roads. Currently the pick of the Porsche crop is the 718 Spyder RS.

Have you managed to try the aircooled version yet. Having driven both at length and own the former I would like to hear your verdict. The mk1 or mk2. I'm a mk1 man there's no replacement they got it right first time. But hey like to see you make a video on it 👍😊

Audio problem.

A beauty!

For British roads full of speed cameras Hybrid is clear choice.

Thank you for your share. I just need to mention that this interior is not a Turbo S interior but a Porsche Manufaktur option that belongs to the 992 Sport Classic originally.

Watched this review without sound (my wife was reading a book beside me and no ear buds) Your face told most of the story…which is all one cares about when spending on a sports car.

Great video… I love my GTS 4.0 manual, just does everything so brilliantly. Best non GT Porsche on sale?

Awesome car. Great review. BTW you are too dorky to have tattoos. Just funny is all. Only Marines and real military men should have them.

I have a Macan s and the ride quality is really thrashy

Have you still got the 992 ?

all i can say is PORSCHE THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE ✌❤

I currently have a 5 year old 320d which is due for change. I’m torn between an LCI 320d in stock or an LCI2 330e which I can configure. I’m thinking of specifying the Adaptive Suspension on the 330e and I’m interested in hearing a bit more about your experience in comfort mode. Is there a significant difference when you select Comfort? Does it iron out bumps and holes well? You said some complimentary things but I’d love to hear a bit more of your experience. Cheers.

Love your analogy of microwave oven and BBQ 😂. My son has a 981 S and I have 718 BGTS 4.0. The 981 has so much character compared to the 718. The PSE exhaust sounds incredible. If it wasn’t for the fiddly roof I would love a 981 Spyder. Another good video. Thanks.

The engine sound at 22:55 is awesome from the V6 🎉. Plus you get the electric range in the hybrid and the efficiency.

You wouldn't be allowed coffee in my 911!

This moron thinks 3.5 years 32k miles is consider long term.

What’s the range on a full tank?

Hi everyone. i have one question, does the Cayenne's 3.0 V6 engine lag when you press the accelerator? Is the 3.0 engine more durable and stable than the 4.0 V8 engine?

Loved the video. The kudos you both gave this car comparing it to an M2 make your words carry even more weight.

can the V8 be somewhat quiet if its in normal mode with stock exhaust or sport exhaust turned off?..i love the quietness of that hybrid but V8 would be nice too,,just curious if you can drive in a quiet cabin environment with that V8 in normal mode

There is a waiting list for new Porsches even a second hand car is expensive. Unless you are making 300k a year or have a successful business then go out and buy one if you can’t afford it and something needs replacing it will cost a preety penny. You need to us premium gas you can’t us regular fuel you are messing up the engine if you can’t afford the gas you can’t really afford the car .

would you pick a panamera turbo over a taycan turbo?

For a road car they are pretty good on track - had an E46 M3 when new and it would only last a few laps before the stock brakes gave up The reason I sold mine was that the road noise was just too much for a daily - would like to buy a 911.1 convertible as a high days and holidays car as love the normally aspirated engine noise

If money doesn’t matter probably a turbo e-hybrid with the v8 but maasive price lol 😁

lol...just get a Rav4 or CR-V

Only floor it when the steering wheel is straight, in particular in 2nd and 3rd. And 4th when it’s wet.

Your ownership experience is invaluable as I hope to join the Porsche family next year. I have always been a manual guy and never driven a PDK so which would you prefer? Secondly the 4 wheel drive verses 2 wheel drive? Some say the 4 wheel drive numbs steering feel but I like the thought of the security of 4 wheel drive, what are your thoughts? Only recently found you and now I am a subscriber.

I'd love to get this car but driving it around London would be a pain in the ass

Test driving one today!

The reason I’ve searched a review on this car is because this is what I’m buying ! Thanks for all the info , very helpful

I like the idea of a Porsche EV - however the biggest single issue for me is battery life - how can you buy a car that will only last 8-10 years and will then need a new battery costing £45k? New EV’s are a 20-30% premium over ice vehicles and then there is the savage depreciation. I would go so far s to say that most EV’s are company leases where the companies right off cost against tax. I asked my Porsche dealer about battery life and they said it’s guaranteed for 8 years. After that I asked and they said we don’t know we haven’t had one that long.

Was looking at an X1 first, then a sedan, but quickly realized that I needed a touring.

Is it comfy for a long journey ? How is the suspension over rough roads ?

I’m on my second type R , ( an FK2) and never had any reliability issues … they’ve simply never so much as even blown a bulb 🤷🏻‍♂️ serviced once a year , I’m on michilin PS4 tyres and I guess you could say they have a bit of an appetite for the fronts but not any more than other hot hatches .. but in general I can’t think of anything I’d replace it with ( it’s getting old now as 2015 model but only 45,000 miles ) so I think il hold onto it for a few years yet as it does everything I want( briefly shown in the one video on my Chanel )

nuts

DCT all day! It's absolutely easier to live with and it's faster everywhere!

not really "a GT4 without a roof", the front drive train comes from the 991S on the Spyder whereas it's from the 991 GT3 on the the Cayman GT4...

Had a G20 for 3 years, loved it, was in the goldilocks zone of 20 miles for my commute, just purchased a G21 Lci2 2025 spec in Arctic race blue on 995's, ev range has doubled, it has the added practicality as well. I will be keeping this car, went for the fabric and alcantara seats and added a Msport alcantara armrest to match.

Coming back to comment and say that I’ve finally got myself a 640d. Just agreed the purchase of a lovely 67 plate coupe with boatload of spec. Cannot wait.

speed limit warning you can't turn off, no thanks. that gloss black on the centre is sooo reflective, would drive me insane.

What’s people’s real World range ? I’ve seen 100 miles which is a bit low Looking at fiat 500 e

I have found the best way to use this car is. I drive hybrid eco in town. And i go battery control at selected lvl in highway. Note if u drain battery to 0. Extra boost is not available

“And whilst the gearbox is slow, you certainly have to work for any sort of performance. I would argue that’s part of the enjoyment!!!” That’s the most accurate quote I’ve ever heard for those who truly love the smart brand and know what it’s all about! Thanks so much for this most enjoyable video!

What consumption you had please?

I drove 1000 miles in a 72 plate BMW 530E and it was incredible on fuel and probably the best all round car I have ever driven, I could feel a bit of weight when pushing on in the car a little but it did not ruin the way it handled it was a true BMW.

White? 😂😢

Too many poor quality plastics parts in BMWs these days.

How big is the fuel tank?

I have a Boxster GTS 4 litre 25 years after owning2 911 (997.2 S carb for 4 years and 991.2 GTS coupe 18 months). I prefer NA engine for its sound and that you have to work at it. The turbo charged 991.2 GTS is faster but suffers from turbo lag in normal drive mode and the engine sounded boring in comparison. IMO the Boxster 25 years is more exciting especially with the roof down and the smaller footprint is better for British roads. I took it to Europe with our Porsche club and the car easily keep up with some well driven 911s. It handled the Stelivio pass and others with ease. A sublime car for the twistiest of mountain passes. I love it.
