I often get asked for my opinion on individual Porsche 911 models so I thought I would quickly run through current range and give my thoughts good or bad. Remember this is just my thoughts and opinions, you are most welcome to disagree!

Another great video even if it wrinkles some feathers. Agree with 95% of your assessments. I would extend the "Turbos have too much power" comment to the GTS ans S however (at least for the street). I optioned and bought a 991.2 C4 to make it "look" exactly like a GTS with the price to match. I just didn't want all that horse power with a manual. My C4 is faster than the fasted production car made in the US in the 1980s. That is enough for me.

Well, after owning three 911 over the years starting in 1977, I am back in the market for another. The kids are now college grads and I'm single again, so I can now buy whichever one I want. :-) I am presently looking at the S model since that is what I've always owned before, and I like the equipment/options offered on the C2S. I"m in California so no need for the C4S. Thanks for the model comparisons, I did learn a few things I had not yet "discovered" researching the new 991's. One thing that strikes me as funny still, are the many pseudo Porsche experts that exist in the world. They were there when I bought my first 911 in 1977, and they're still there.. LOL

Nick, I own a 911, 991.1 GTS and I believe it's 1.6 inches wider than the Carrera and Carrera S. So you can get the wide body on a 2 wheel drive Carrera if you choose a GTS. I don't believe you can get a wide body on a 2 wheel drive Carrera any other way. You can delete Alcantara and opt for the non center lock wheels too.

Nick, One of my favorite Porsches is that of the 928. I loved it so much, I bought one after watching "Risky Business" one too many times, and just falling in love with them. I found an 84' S (silver/red interior) and it was a nightmare to own. Breaking down constantly, and literally leaving me with hardly any time to drive between visits to Service. I still love it though, as I've accepted the heartache that is, 928 ownership. I loved it's sound, 50/50 weight distribution, and raw v8 sound. I'll surely never forget it. How do you feel about the extinct, and dinosaur, Porsche 928?? Thanks. Randy

Hi Nick, for me you are the most normal and down to earth youtuber...., you diserve millions of subsc. The 4s was always my favorite 911 but it's been beat by the Gts because it's a more atracktive package for the price (it has some most have options standard + widebody 2wd) . I love the Gt3 the most of all but no rear seat option and my children like to drive fast to! I dont like the look of the turbo at all, especially the ugly rear spoiler and the front bumper looks to basic. If the turbo had the look of the Gt3 or Gt3 rs i would buy one tommorow. Go on Nick, your video's are fun to watch. Grtz, Koen (Belgium) If you ever plan a trip to Belgium, I have a place for you to stay!

Nick, thank you for your in depth review. You do contradict yourself in the assessment of the GTS. You state that the only downside to the 4S is t that you prefer a rear wheel drive 911 on dry surfaces, but that there is no rear wheel drive 911 available in the wide body. Well guess what? The GTS you put down is the rear wheel drive wide body you are wishing for.

I also agree with your comments on the rear deckled; I like the 991.1 better. I think the 991.2 does a better job of integrating the bumper vents and reflectors behind the rear tires than the 991.1.

Nick, I've watched your videos over the years, from your first Porsche through this one. This is the first one I'll comment on. I actually found it useful. I have driven most Porsches from the 356 to the 991.1 Targa, 924s, 944s, and my current 997 Boxster. I've been thinking of moving to a 991.2 and your review of the series was food for thought and something for me to consider. Based on US roads and rules, though I can drive like a hooligan, I prefer to stay out of jail and gainfully employed, so would consider a Carrera 4 Cabrio. Never thought about the torque vectoring issue with the base. Again, a useful video. By the way, flip all the haters.

OF course the Turbo was an automatic and the C4 I bought is manual. I think it's a great entry into the Porsche world. As far as the brakes I have no intention of taking it on a track and have found them to be very solid so far. Thanks for the informative videos.

You helped me a year ago Nick. I bought the 911 S in metallic black, soft top. Killer. Just drove (April 2019) to Saas Fee in Switzerland (ski trip) from London. Conclusion: very little pint in owning a 911 in the UK (like the USA). Speed cameras all over the country. Honking over the snow-covered Alps with the lid down was almost worth the £130,000 I paid for the 911. One advantage of a soft top. Drop the lid and the skis fit in the passenger seat and your luggage drop in the rear seats EASY. it was my 1st soft top. I would NEVER buy a sports car that was NOT a soft top. Its like jumping an 18 year old college gal with the light ON!

Dude, I watch all your video's because it's usually well researched but I must totally disagree with you about the GTS and it's not about the cosmetic of the GTS. I ordered a GTS because of the MECHANIC side of the car... Just try to configured a Carrera S with the larger rear end and without the 4 wheel drive... I wanted a car that can do 200 MPH (someone did it on to the Autobahn and yes may be the speedo is not 100% accurate, so what!) because I will do the Euro delivery this fall. Also, I want a 7 speed manual with rear wheel drive because I enjoy so much this kind of mechanical configuration. Finally, I get the 12" rear wheel (the largest in all 911 line) and come with center lock that is totally cool even if I have to buy a 600 lbs capacity torque wrench... Finally, I wanted all the black option that come with the GTS and it's pretty expensive when ordered individually on a model S and also get the aluminium brushed interior, the best loocking in my point of view. Turbo models only come with 4wd and auto tranny, GT3 can't order one, model R is ridiculously expensive on the used market so GTS all the way for MECHANICAL and PERFORMANCE. I get the black on Silver GT look in bonus...

It is quite true that to get the wide body and RWD the GTS is the only way to do this. You know so long as you love the looks Claude, that is all that matters. I was just giving my option and I know that is very unpopular with GTS owners. If you think a GTS can go 200 MPH and has a faster top speed than a power kit C2S then you should get the GTS. For me the 12" rears the redacted noise damping, the scraping nose, the power kit engine all take away from the enjoyment of the 911 experience. That is just my experience, my friends that own GTS all love them. I know you will love your car as well. Drive safely my friend.

I'm proud of my Carrera and hate the oval pipes or whatever shape those were in 2012. I immediately ordered and actually after-market cat-back exhaust system (Fab Speed) and was extremely glad I did and got the stainless chrome quad exhaust system. For the longest time, that was my only mod. Most recently, I discovered the IPD plenum that replaces a plastic Porsche plenum. The car actually breathes better with the same time added air cleaner that breathes better. My 2012 only has 350 horse power and a low torque level that doesn't kick in until the revs climb. I didn't not worry about weight when I optioned a sun roof (which I never open). Yes, my Carrera script and 911 script are still on the back of the car. I remember 8 years ago, that I got the car and broke it in very easily for the first thousand miles. Since then, at times, I've driven it extremely hard. That easy break-in appears to have paid dividends in reliability. Racing yellow, first year for the color with car that was ordered and built during the remainder of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche's life time; then he unfortunately passed away the day before my Carrera was completed. Having passed on, the company finished my Carrera the next day and began the post build checks and shipping to none other than Beverly Hills Porsche. Lots more about this car, but I noted when I got the car that it was capable of 178 miles per hour. I save the money and did not get an S and therefore did not get Torque Vectoring, but I pretty much got everything else except artificial engine noise pipes which have never made even the slightest sense to me. Every once in a while gigantic racing trucks pull up next to me, rev their engines and then, "take off." I usually ignore them. However, when I engage sport and floor the pedal, even with their 900 horse power supercharged engines, I am almost always by them in three to five seconds. Then I immediately show down and they angrily floor their accelerator again and take off down the road at 115 mph while I settle in at 70mph, mumbling to myself, "race over." Am I sorry I did not get and S or a GTS? No, not really. I have never taken the car past 120 mph. The car can corner better than I can. You'll wonder what I did with all of that savings, will you? I dunno. Back in 2012, the 18-way power seats and that leather all over the interior and the PDK and the factory lowered edition (1/2" with longer front spoiler, Carrera 20" silver and factory 5mm spacers to widen the track and Bose music system/Sirius Sattelit capable stereo and CD player but then with no steering wheel controls (all with four stalks on the column); electrically adjusted steering wheel; partially upgraded driving system and lights which like anticipate the curve by leading the way with lighting that moves; the sunroof; night self-dimming mirrors and garage-door opener recognition and match and lastly, the torque of a 3.4 liter flat six (if I ever put twin scroll turbos on it, look out!); and the 30.3 mpg at 70mph (not the factory indicated 28mph). I dunno...I really am happy with the leather covered full-size gear lever and traditional Porsche cup holders. And a car that looks lots and lots like the lines of the original 911, rather than flared bodies and wide bodies and body work full of every kind of vent hole, useful or not. No. Just the classic lines of the Ferrari. Oh. And I do have that Duck tail that seems to come up at about 82 mph. I keep that Duck tail spoiler in the down position, all the time. Have I had an urge to change my wheels? No. Tires? Yes. I got rid of those hideous P-Zero's and put on a proper set of Michelin Cup tires...not the ones I wanted, as they didn't make them in my size or they weren't available, then. However, they are better and more comfortable and provide better road feel and feedback than the P-Zeros. AF (So. Cal.)

I agree about the GTS. I don't like the fact that I have to pull my 600 ft lb torque wrench out to change the wheels or tire. I don't like black wheels, I don't like Alcantara all over the place. I made my 4S almost exactly like a GTS even the engine. Like Nick says, just my opinion.

He isn’t wrong about the turbo s level type power/performance. In town you get on the throttle and immediately have to back out. It isn’t that the turbo s has too much power (McLaren and even Audi R8 Performance have little more power) the issue is power/ torque delivered very early with amazing traction. For short bursts you are propelled so fast next apex arrives very quickly. There is a reason porsche turbo/turbo s usually wins most 0-40 or 0/60 short bursts in the street even on roads with subpar traction. They are mega for short street combat and AWD/PDK/Rear engine puts the power down all day without drama. This can be frustrating in short corners or around the city with speed limits since speed sneaks up on you. In an unrestricted/longer corners you can really unleash the beast maybe 80% and by the way it also fixes your mistakes. It’s easy speed and it’s already fast stock enter tune/exhaust/ic/meth and its even more lethal for 99.5% of cars but then you just made a car that was already too fast for the street even faster or made the problem a lot worse 😀

I have been told by a man that knows (?) that an Easter egg from Porsche is, if you click the handbrake on by 1 click ie. not actually ON then all the drive on AWD 911's is sent to the back wheels a lá 2WD! Try it!

U said so many informator but not much help for buyers. Targa is much louder inside then regular top. On the other hand Targa drives differently then other 911s is more of GT than sport car in terms of suspension. It matters specially for every day drivers. GTS on the other hand is opposite much harder suspension for every day driving. U can feel it straight away u start driving. Carrera S is basically very good choice for every day driving because is quite inside and suspension is much more comfortable. All the above compression I have done on the same 20 inch wheels and driven few times each in very different condition in Europe. My choice was Targa GTS

I appreciate you clarifying that your opinion is your opinion and everyone else has their own being a graphic designer I love color but I don’t want a red or blue or yellow car I love silver always have always wanted to get a silver 911 and I finally got one I got the S and I’m glad I did. Granted I bought a 2014 this year partially budget partially last of the naturally aspirated cars didn’t really want the whole turbo deal got lucky that the person inspect it before me with everything I wanted it was fun hunting out the perfect car for me. I still think it’s fine that you go in and have all your choices and rip Other people’s choices I can take it, it’s all in good fun they’re just cars or carrots that people work for. I plan on joining the hell out of mine.

I think the GTS features the 'Wide Body', doesn't it? To me that's a plus. At least up until the 992 models that have that anyway. But my 911 is a loathsome base Carrera. No need to listen to what I think 😜

Missed the point all the extras in the GTS for less than it would cost if optioned and 50 more Hp than the Cs and not possible to configure the Carrera the same as the GTS so appears Nick doesn't even know his stuff. Clearly not very well thought out.

Brake fade has nothing to do with size of brakes Porsche specs out. If the pedal is good but the car doesn’t stop as well as as the beginning of the session it means the pads have given up. This is typical of street use brake pads. The stock pads Porsche specs are STREET pads. Nick you are obviously not a track rat.

The reason the GTS is appealing is that it is now the only way to get the increased HP over the S. They no longer offer the power upgrade.

Absolutely love my Turbo S. Putting miles on it too quickly. :) I take my TT S to the race track to push. You're right that it's difficult to drive to its limits on the public road, but I have managed on back roads. It's difficult to make yourself do it, knowing that you're going to jail if you're apprehended. Same issue with my superbikes, though. It can be more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow - no argument from me.
