2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet Review

A classic among classics, the 2017 Porsche 911 gets some light tweaking on the outside and big changes to the power plant. Turbos for everyone! Tom Voelk reviews the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet model.

[@swanblake]

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Thanks Blake!

[@waseemhashimaldamasi8008]

[@Vazztudio]

[@chrissorreda4982]

I'm a sucker for a good metallic silver and this one is AMAZING!

[@wassilis4963]

Beautiful pictures! Best review seen so far for the Porsche Carrera 2017

[@the.noaseo]

I just got a 991.2. For those who think you can't afford it.... YOU CAN. You might need to ace out the girlfriend, but i don't make much and i slide the sled. Used of course, one owner and you can do it. Every miles a Smile. Great review like always.

[@SuperDodoe]

Thanks Tom! Always looking out for your new reviews @ the NYT's

[@TWHISPERER]

I always love your reviews Tom.

4:00 minute marker takes on a whole new meaning after COVID-19 😂

[@floyddrain7256]

Good review. Clear and complete summary about what makes Porsche attractive and solid.

[@beverleycathcart6114]

This was an excellent review. Loved it!

[@hindeemalkee8227]

[@JediGTI]

Great Review. Very down to Earth.

[@jackcarter5415]

Great video!

[@billblake4029]

Really really nice review Tom. Keep up the great work.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Thanks Bill!

[@Methnerjacob]

Wow glad I found this channel.... it's great!

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Thanks Jake, and I'm just finishing up shooting the 991 Turbo S so come on back. Spread the word!

[@rbinteractivemedia]

I enjoy this type of video because of it's practical, down to earth style minus all the superficial hype and typical overengineered production of other car reviews. Good job.

[@bhavishyachandra]

Haha! Were you referring to Jason Camisa and his chart? Great review as always! :) Keep them coming.

[@akhildubey6490]

Thanks TOM

[@Poorschedriver]

Wow great review! I didn't know the front had active areo. Plus I share you same enthusiasm for the mid engined platforms over the rear engined 911. It's a great car, but there's a certain playfulness of the mid engined cars that often gets overlooked because of their lack of pedigree.

[@MclovinMclove]

This channel is going to be around 250k of subs in a year !

[@93455Driver]

Great review, camera work and editing. Need a white board !?! The 911 is awesome, but that coffee cup over the center stack, crazy. I think Porsche has done a great job with the new turbo's in the 911's - they have done their best to keep the sound, avoid lag and get better numbers. Yes, there is some fun in having to out an engine to get the power/torque, but near instantaneous torque is useful in daily driving. Look forward to the 718 reviews.

[@p00pie]

nice review.

[@JohnSmith-tt6te]

Tom. do you have any info on the 991.2 GTS (e.g.: timing)?

[@5ulz632]

my dad has this car with the white with red convertible roof PDK 2017 carrera s and idk what's the 0-60 and the quarter mile of this car. Can someone tell me the 0-60 and 1/4 mile of this car pls?

[@lKingRichardl]

Honestly if I had tons of money I think I would have about 3 911s. There's so many trim levels it's impossible to pick one!

[@jin-suchoi2517]

KingRichard speedster, targa, coupe, cabriolet, gt2, gt3, carrera 4, carrera s, turbo. I would buy all of them. Espacially the speedster is my favorite!

[@cadsux]

Interesting, Motor Trend just posted an article "Watch a Spec Miata Embarrass a Porsche 911 on Track". It's always a good day when one spots rare & cool cars. One of the advantages in living in California are those sunny weekends that just brings them out in the open. My wife even jokes about me checking cars more than women. Still, I envy your job.

[@McSMACKthe1st]

Great review. I think if I was getting a Porsche I'd get the Boxster with the PDK. There's just something about driving with the top down. Of course I live in LA and you're up there in Seattle, so........LOL.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

And yet I own a convertible...

[@god-son-love]

Now I just need a lot of cash...

[@dananiks173]

Hahahha me too

[@user-bd6jb6gs8t]

Nice car

[@philipc239]

A hard top with duck tail please... it's 2023 revisiting and i want one! 👍👍👍😀❤

[@jdstarek]

An 88 Targa and an AC Cobra is the same day? Whatever town he's in must be a gear head's dream.

[@weirdshibainu]

Great review Tom. Was there much body flex in the Cabriolet?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Nope.

[@zorpio6469]

Wow that’s so weird my dad used to own an 1988 911 turbo targa in the same colour, what a beautiful car, wish he never sold it because they are worth so much now

[@nikond-vp9wt]

Nice

[@WaseyAliwaseyster]

Very well reviewed! You should make more videos I'm sure Top Gear would love to have you.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Ha! I'm sure they have no idea who I am. Besides, they already have one American on their show.

[@WaseyAliwaseyster]

Haha, don't worry mate! They will fire that American man and will keep you 😁

[@DrivenCarReviews]

I haven't seen it but from what I understand, the Yank is the bright spot of the new show. Go figure! I'm happy with NYT though so it's fine.

[@WaseyAliwaseyster]

Yeah true, but still i wish you the best, and can't wait to see more of your reviews!

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Thanks man!

[@chrisogrady28]

I wish there was some way to get a GT3 NA 9000rpm engine in a 4 seater 911. That's what the GTS should be in my opinion, but no they all have these bloody twin turbos now. There's no way to get a NA engine in a 4 seater 911 anymore...

[@Babychoocho]

Tom, the car suits you! What about that back seat...? Curious if toddlers or children can fit back there and then I saw the wind shield pop up medieval torture device style.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Kids will fit back there, they're flexible. Think of the wind blocker as a way to discipline them...

[@seanlowrey5239]

This review has a "Motor Week" Vibe

[@amill1563]

I would much rather have either the Targa or regular version of the 911. The lines are much better on those cars. If I had to get a convertible Porsche, it would be the Boxster.

[@93455Driver]

Targa looks nice, but is heavy. Prefer the coupe myself base or S.

[@kylcarunicorn2221]

Looks sexy I want one it looks dope

[@asmahwedi2443]

my heart is racing like crazy when i see 911s . i will work hard for you baby iam getting you later or later 😢

[@reconforsales7708]

Now pls do a review on a Hyundai SantaFe

[@yass123]

The Old Gray Lady doesn't pay enough, huh Tom?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

More like two kids in college.

[@coureurdebois]

hey i like the whale tail :(

[@DrivenCarReviews]

So do I.

[@coureurdebois]

:D

[@davecabansay8965]

zl1 1le

[@jaceezekieleijansantos4515]

does it saves oil?

[@kakarot3954]

Jace Ezekiel Eijansantos yes it does. In fact, at speeds above 200 kmph, it starts generating oil. Engineering marvel if you ask me.

[@Mrskcb-um8qe]

Tom you should grow a pony tail

[@limpunsing224]

top down, price up

[@coureurdebois]

meh, hard top for me in white with black accents. :D

[@kylcarunicorn2221]

Made in *2016*

[@hertzair1186]

Other than the legend status of the 911 name, it’s getting difficult to justify the advantage of a 911 over a Cayman/Boxster…..especially when you factor in the price.

[@neobourgeoischristum5540]

911 cab looks awful and the driver looks awful too rolling down the street. The elegant top line of the design is lost with the textile roof. Huracán Spyder looks badass with the top down, that will be my second car.

[@gunandbomb4637]

Sounds like shit with the turbo :(
