Your reviews are very good!

[@spencersmith3322]

My Gentian Blue one just arrived at the dealers today, I pick it up in 2 days. Looking forward to it!!

[@brennan7032]

Great color

[@duckman5642]

Best cab model review. Cheers

[@gletschertroll]

Not a bad review - I own a Carrera S Convertible (992). Only one issue: what you said about the brake pedal is not true for the series. I've driven three 992 - you have to test a car before you order it of course - and none had this dead-travel issue. It must have been the particular car you drove - should be checked, there was definitely something off with this particular copy.

[@coolcarporsche6819]

Great review ! May be time to upgrade from my 997

[@jayh5641]

Best car journalist in the world this guy. Keep it up 💪🏼

[@drewmorg.]

The small gear lever will cause these interior cabins to age well 10+ years later.

[@nirmalkrishnan]

The silhouette of the 991 cab is also similar to the coupe unlike the 997

[@shaheenevans]

Great review team, what is your pick of current 992, let me guess - Carrera 2s coupe

[@williamandreasson4936]

Must be the kinderegg among sportscars,super quick, super agile, 2+ 2 cabriolet, and very beautiful too

[@mykevenable8180]

Thank you !!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@HMCarReviews]

The coupes always look better on every car. This colour combination is great tho.

[@eug3nius]

This is even better: imgur.com/TdfADfF

[@robertgregory1927]

I have the same color combo bus Carrera S Manual…what a car.

[@locke1402]

For the purposes of a daily driver, curious what it is like driving with top up. How are blind spots?

[@doctorj7112]

I picked up my 992 CS in November (order it in January). The car is great but this will be my last 911 (unless I can get a GT car). The car is really good but its almost too good. ITs a very "sterile" experience if I had to define it. I wish I would have kept my 991 GTS.

[@ashman0071]

does it have a manual transmission ?

[@werbeck1]

Good review, would have liked to have seen the top up.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

He did show the top up. Buy glasses fool 00:22

[@tyrael280]

I wished Rebecca did this review ; as a porsche pilot she is the expert

[@cyrilbas4695]

For me its the most beautiful car on the world vert beautiful in am in France near Paris thanks

[@MadelnMachines]

Which Porsche models feel exciting to drive when you're not at the limit? Any of them?

[@w3155ach]

I think they have just made it too expensive for what it is and what it has.. 100k+ and folding mirrors an optional extra???

[@spencersmith3322]

Muhammad Chaudhury Tell me, what are it’s equivalent competitors? And their prices?

[@frankly5171]

the numbness of the car you mention is a function of the car being a 4 wheel drive. The CS is the car to get.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Title should state what version it is. This is not a base Carrera.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Top up, I agree that it is great looking. But top down, isn’t as good looking as the Boxster. There is something about that rear hump, that is not flattering.

[@Conan3145]

The elephant in the room for Porsche: A similar spec Boxster is so close in overall experience and 2/3 the price.

[@D992]

Totally agree. My 981 is superb.

[@ronstopfer2315]

Conan3145 simply untrue. I’d agreed to the purchase of a 2019 Cayman GTS, “highly” optioned. Unfortunately, the car was accidentally damaged within the dealership and I canceled the purchase.Instead, I ordered a 992 C4S, which I’ve driven now for 6 months, and have put 7,500 miles on it. These cars are both so sporting, yet both so different. First, my car is all-wheeled-drive, rear steering addition, and other even standard items that aren’t even available as options on the Cayman/Boxster. This is much more powerful, more roomy, highest tech electronics, more comfortable. That “elephant” in the room is nondescript. Don’t get me wrong, the new Cayman is fantastic, but it’s certainly not the new 911.

[@charleslu7044]

@@D992 I just registered my 981 Spyder, it’s phenomenal.

[@MadelnMachines]

They're slowly making the 911 mid engined

[@allanbrj]

GT Silver, right?

[@charleslu7044]

Over Garnet Red...

[@ljredux]

Shame the rear seats make passengers feel like they're in a rollercoaster car.

[@markscars1069]

Hood down, the step up to the engine lid always catches my eye. It looks lazy and should have been levelled off.

[@32wajid]

I agree

[@robertgregory1927]

Convertible….best of both worlds.

[@malcolmscott4150]

Great review Dan - you look 4 foot tall with seat on lowest level lol 😝 - beautiful car but hard top with sunroof or targa top maybe as after tow Mini cabrio/convertibles I prefer hard tops as convertible cars always flex with age

[@713vinh]

Cabs are not my cup of tea.

[@ashman0071]

legacy, boring color combo - not a manual - cabriolet owners most often already own several 911's - this is not what we buy .......

[@lexbro]

It’s the only one I own. Great car
