But the 981 can be optioned with lots of what you complained about. 18 way seats, auto climate, sports design wheel with paddles. Certainly can’t compare the dodgy volume knob and window not sitting correctly on a 150k mile car. Pops and bangs are absolutely ridiculous on the Porsche sports exhaust on the 981. Much more theatrical than the 718.

Hi there. Love your channel and epic Hawaii scenery. Sorry to be a pedant but that is not a 718 spyder! 718 spyder is a Drop top gt4 with the 4 litre N/A engine and manual roof - a very different car which didn’t come out until 2019/20. What you are driving is a standard turbo charged 718 Boxster. Very different to the spyder variant.
@9and3 6 күн бұрын
So confusing isn’t it !! Too many variants. I have actually briefly driven a 718 manual Spyder and I think it was from about 2022. Had the crazy tricky hood that took forever to fold down and up. I didn’t like it at all - the only gears I got to use were 1 and 2. Then I was well over our speed limits in nz.

Any time you make a change you want to keep and code it to that specific key you have to press the set button on the door and then the key icon.

Cupholder, just get a small 12inch square towel and drape it over the swing arm that will also prevent condensation and spills from landing on you auto button on the climate control i just a microfiber one to look ok lol also be super careful with the passenger one its easy to clip with your knee getting in the car so always retract it when a passenger was using it and tell them to be careful with it. Auto door lock is a setting just read the manual. Sport suspension is super harsh in all porsches I never use mine either likely not even on track although haven't been on track with either cars. Climate control should follow the key fob again read the manual but it may be hit the key button on the door to learn your key but yea read the manual, I've never had this problem except in a Macan loaner that did some weird stuff but I didn't care enough to mess with it much and I didn't read the manual, lol

Your right this is peak Porsche, I had the 991.2 Turbo S, GT silver, traded in for 992 turbo s without test driving because I assumed latest is greatest, and I can tell you 991.2 is peak. 992 is larger in a horrible way, you lose confidence compared to 991.2 in placing the car. The digital dash feels soo unnecessary and completely loses the tactility and quality of prior generations, way more plastics and completely unnecessary gadgets to compensate, like retractable door handles 😂 are you kidding me, the most unnecessary additions of weight and complexity

Great to have this confirmed - I’ve only driven a 992 C4S and a GT3 Touring but when I get back into my 991.2 I just love the feel of everything in the cabin, takes me back to classic porsche just enough to remind me of the heritage and history with the simple tried and tested layout.

@salvatoremuoio4736 2 ай бұрын
I have owned a 2014 991.1 Turbo S since new and also see the 991 as the peak 911 generation. Essentially, the best combination of performance and tactile-ness / analog driver’s instrumentation and controls. I did switch out the multi-function steering wheel for an alcantara sport wheel + steering column stalk to simplify it all further. Agree with you 100% on the overall assessment of the car and the 991 generation. I own a few other 911 models of the 991 gen and love each one. Specifically regarding the Turbo S, I, like you, have very few minor complaints, and the car has proven bulletproof over 55,000 miles driven. I am not a fan of the direction Porsche is taking with the 992’s - menu driven touch screens, elimination of analog instruments, cheaper feeling compromised interiors, etc. Not a favorable trade-off for a bit more power. The 991 gen Turbo S already drives like the wind, and I would never consider trading it.

Great video. I was looking at ordering a new one but you have to have bought 10 Taycans in order to get the privilege of handing them $300,000 to purchase one. The alternative is to buy a recent year model that was bought buy a speculator that abused it for 6 to 12 months and then flipped it back to the dealer that sells the used car with several hundred miles on it for $30-50k over msrp. So, maybe you have the right approach- go find a well treated, 1 owner, low mile specimen that’s a few years old. Good luck with your health and best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery!

The 991 will become a classic moving forward. YMMV

I’ve put these in multiple of my cars same time as having geo done properly by someone that knows what they are doing, to make sure everything is pointing in right direction for your driving style, now with better compliance too. This will give optimum suspension for this very powerful car. Match this with good tyres for your needs (eg Michelin vs Pirelli).

My 2018 991.2 remembers the temp. It's done that since I bought it new. I have gone through two sets of pilot sport 4s and I think the road noise is fine for such a wide tire. Mine also does the ert ert noise when it adjusts the suspension. The dealer called that normal. Interestingly, I only notice it when it's stationary and I'm getting in or out, not when I'm driving. I agree on the brakes, they are fantastic. It has more understeer than I would like, but the stability control does a really good job when you need it. The four-wheel steering is great for low speed turning radius, but it can be frustrating trying to back it up and it is steering the rear wheels. Don't completely fill the windshield washer reservoir. It will puke on the lower front fender and door with spirited driving if you do.
