2022 Porsche 911 GTS | High Limits

We review the new 2022 Porsche 911 GTS and Targa. Two options bridge the gap between the Turbo S and GT3. We discuss the road manners, interior design, and what it's like to drive on the street. These cars have a higher availability which makes them more appealing. With tight competition would you choose Aston Martin or a Mercedes AMG GT?

[@HiddenWen]

Best part about the 911: All of them are good. From the base to the S models to the GTS to the Turbo S to the GT models. There's one for everyone (provided they don't bankrupt you).

[@omaralkayal7598]

A family member almost became bankrupt while keeping and maintaining a BMW X1 , we wouldn’t even dare to touch a Porsche

[@vociferon-heraldofthewinte7763]

It’s as if they’re engineered to have high maintenance and repair costs.

[@papa_pt]

@@omaralkayal7598 wtf kind of logic is that.. Bc they're both German? Porsche is actually at the top of all luxury reliability ratings along with Lexus. The X1 is a fwd badge engineered mini Cooper, hardly related to the rest of their lineup

[@americanAlienBoy]

@@papa_pt Current X1 is a rebodied Mini Countryman. Previous gen was effectively a stretched (and taller) 1 series. Ours has been dead-nuts reliable. There can be problems with the timing chain tensioners in the 4 cyl, but BMW has agreed to extend the warranty on those engines to cover that. The most reliable/cheapest to maintain car we ever owned was a 2nd gen Civic. Our E39 chassis 530 was a very close 2nd. We put over 100k miles on that, and the only expense was replacing a window seal (2 hours of my time and $35). Least reliable/most expensive to keep running? Tie between the Subaru and the 1st gen Integra.

[@papa_pt]

@@americanAlienBoy yeah I recently realized the first gen was the closest we came to a turbo six e91 wagon in the states. Yes loved my e39 530.. Also had a 2011 Subaru legacy that was dead reliable. Currently on an e61 535 and have to say pretty much deprise drivijnf the X1 when I get a loaner. The pedals are like on and off switches no progression

[@Heatranoveryou]

These guys are the best porsche ad. Every time they review a porsche i suddenly want one.

[@Dowlphin]

Every time they review an exciting car I am reminded of my turbo Corolla not having being financially viable for years and how I want an S2000 and how much hassle I could have avoided, had I been 'allowed' to get one instead back then. If I won a Porsche, I'd sell it and use the money for one or both of those to-do's. (Running costs of a Porsche would be too high.)

[@romankalyniuk2596]

Too bad the 911 doesn't have those trick stow-n-go seats.

[@anthonyvillaa]

I know this is completely off topic from the video, but could you guys make a video comparing the best audio systems you guys have tested in cars for each different category of price point? It seems like you guys are very hard/critiquing & I would like a list to compare it to for better reference.

[@dil6969]

This is a great idea. A good sound system can make all the difference on a dull commute.

[@ameraldas3641]

I would say that it would possibly be not very good for relations with their brand representatives. because he will have to say, that some brands just plain suck, and others do not. And when somebody tells people that your cars suck you dont want to give your new cars to review

[@_Makanko_]

I think the issue is usually not with the audio system brand but rather how the car manufacturers build the system into their cars. A list might be difficult and they usually just state whether it's better to pay more for the "premium" sound upgrade or not. I think before they can make a list on the better audio system you would have to categorise them based on price and use case first. It's not a bad idea, I think it might be a good thing to ask on one of their live Q&A's.

[@gigi9467]

Audio systems on a sport car?? Lol bro.. your looking at the wrong car

[@amathern]

This is something I've wondered as well. It looks like use technical stats as well as subjective measures to determine which stereos are good and which ones are bad. Someone above commented they might not be ready to spill the beans who has the worst system out there. However, I think they could do this in a tasteful, non-disparaging way. Besides, these brands need to know that there are a lot of us out here who really do care about the audio system in a vehicle, no matter what kind of vehicle it is. Do it! Do it! Do it!

[@reidadamick1123]

Have always loved the GTS trim level. GTS Coupe, manual, lightweight package for me. You forgot to mention the GTS targa only comes with 4wd. You can't get it RWD.

[@hotdogy12345]

You can't get any targa in RWD

[@michaelwolpmann9453]

4WD is awesome in this car. In Florida, so no snow but rain is no problem with the Carrera 4 GTS.

[@goforbroke2]

I rented a GTS from the Porsche museum in Stuttgart Germany pre Covid. Oddly enough it was a red coupe just like Mark was thrashing about. I took it straight to the Alps for the day, what an experience behind the wheel of that machine in the Alps.

[@jt2475]

Damn! One helluva day!

[@goforbroke2]

@@jt2475 Yeah it was bucket list stuff, driving in the Alps was incredible, we don’t have roads like that in US. Then you compound it with being behind the wheel of a GTS all day it was amazing.

[@manfromwuhan714]

How much was it to rent

[@goforbroke2]

@@manfromwuhan714 To be exact it was $456 for the entire day, which is cheap compared to how they charge in the states to rent one for a few hours let alone an entire day. If I remember correctly the GT3 was the same price to rent as well, I tried to get that initially but someone reserved it before I could.

The international rpm-dependant gauge overlay is worth checking the 3900 dollar option box when you spec these out.

[@the80386]

what is the function of that option?

[@Dowlphin]

What you are talking about is the "revolutionary counter". And Porsche understandably did a bad job there. On a modern engine it would switch to Mexico much earlier and then later to Bolivia, then Nicaragua up to and bouncing off the rev limiter, then Cuba if you overrev it, and Venezuela if you manage to overrev it beyond 9000.

By far some of the best automotive content. Thank you for getting into materials, build, components used, etc. so much better than other folks that just hit the highlights and play with the built in iPads. Don’t ever be afraid to be honest about these vehicles as they all have some issue. Case in point is the oil dilution issue with Honda. Y’all immediately brought it up and I bet 90% of journalists don’t even know about it. The LFA discussion was great….it’s all about the details. Folks don’t often realize the amount of time it takes to design and build this stuff.
