Is the 996 any good? 996.2 Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet Review

[@kriskalpa]

great video guys.

[@andko00201]

One of the best looking 911's

[@manual-motion]

Agreed!

I used to be a Porsche Boxster 986 owner. I sold it because they were not good cars for the snow and bought a Mercedes GLK250. I'm really missing it and I would like to get a 996.2 Carreara 4 but man the bumpers on the 4S makes the car look so much better.

Like the content, keep it up!

Y’all got a lot of miss information on this review. The 996 debuted from 1998 - 2005 😬

[@manual-motion]

Um, actually 🤓 the 996 production run was from July of 1997 to 2006 (if you count the production of the GT models). Either way, I did get it slightly wrong saying 97-05, but 98-05 is also wrong ;) either way, we really appreciate you comment and for you keeping us honest! You mentioned we got a lot of things incorrect, what were some of the other ones?

[@C4S911]

@@manual-motion we are taking US models here so I’m not wrong. I have own these cars for many years and I’m a PCA member. Please know your facts before you want to correct others 🤓. Production came in from 98 - 05. There are no 97 nor 06 models of the 996 in the US. Google isn’t always your friend… know the facts by going to meets and talking to the community and not google.

[@manual-motion]

Ah yes, the US market, the only market ;)

[@C4S911]

@@manual-motion that’s your target audience from where you are based… either way you have a lot of other information that is incorrect that I can point out if you would like. I don’t mind helping out Porsche novices on the education piece.

@@manual-motionthere were no other “S” variants of the 996…. The only “S” variant was the 4S. The 997 was the model that had a carerra S (2 wheel) NOT the 996.

[@C4S911]

How are you going to compare a Corolla to a Porsche??? Also you failed to mention the braking power difference that the 4S has compared to the base models since the 4S has the turbo brakes and suspension set up. I think you need to do more of a deep dive on your car reviews than just reactions if you want to at least get a 1,000 subscribers. ..

Thank you for the feedback :)

Reviewers take different elements that they want to mention for their cars. Not every video has to be a documentary about every minute detail. If I wanted that I'd read a wikipedia page, and NEVER watch (Jeremy Clarkson) Top Gear as according to you, it doesn't offer sort of deep dive and they just do "stupid shenanigan's." every episode. Also, not every reviewer has had the chance to drive both a GR Corolla and a Porsche 996.2 Carrera 4s in back to back reviews, how can you not help but compare the two when they have been back to back reviewed. There is not a single reviewer out there has made that kind of comparison before and that kind of uniqueness is what's needed to stand out.

@@Electronica27 the point is the content creator stated miss information. Why you think my username is “stop capping 911” cause content like this and your comment is all cap 🧢. Do more research first to enlighten viewers what makes the 996 special! Not just talk about the obvious of what the car looks and comes with. The guy in the plaid shirt has a bright future making content as he stated the first obvious advantage of the 996 which is how direct the steering is. Once again stop the cap on commenting on my response to the video when I actually own this model.
