New 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S: Here's What's Good, Bad and Weird!

[@djtheshooter6748]

Someone told me years ago that Porsche is the only sports car one can drive it as much and as hard as you want and you won't hurt it.

[@toejamr1]

DJ THE SHOOTER and their customer service is second to none. We had an issue early on(first 3 months) with our 911 and the basically doubled or warranty period. We now have a super car with a 100k mile warranty. Pretty awesome.

[@djtheshooter6748]

@@toejamr1 - Thank you. I called our local Porsche Dealer yesterday. The 992's will be there in June!

[@toejamr1]

DJ THE SHOOTER we had an oil leak from a “pinched seal” with around 1000 miles on the clock. It’s no fun having to drop an engine on a brand new car, but they did take care of us after only a little complaining. We also we given $1500 towards and service in the future that we may need that’s outside of warranty. They went above and beyond and that’s why I like telling everyone. They basically bought some cheap advertisement with me haha.

[@djtheshooter6748]

I have a Porsche macan diesel S and live in the UK. Google macan transfer box issues and you will find this statement fundamentally untrue. Mine broke with 30,000 miles on the clock, many many others out there. Porsche dealers SIX WEEKS wait & £4000 to fix. Had the work done at a Porsche specialist for £1700 within a week. Yes the dealers suck too!

[@Lance54689]

Expensive, yes, but not more expensive. In '95 an C4 was about $66k, or about $108k today. They have basically matched inflation.

[@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea]

I see.

[@inventiveobsession1012]

If you are thinking the price is an issue , you are not in that level yet. It’s gonna be a huge expense for you. Gasoline, maintenance and insurance would make you hate on it. Just work hard and get your property settled first and then use 10% of your money to get this thing. You will have fun with it. -A 28 yrs old RS5 owner

[@ronstopfer2315]

What a car! I just traded in my 2002 996 Turbo X50, and a 2016 Mercedes S-550, 4Matic, on a wayyyyy optioned up 992, PDK, Guards Red. Should be here ready for delivery in KC, KS on about Sep 1. A “lot” of car, a “lot” of technology, and a “LOT” of performance for just over $150K. Good review!

[@Bagger1935]

Really attractive car. Love the light bar across the back. Front end is sexy. Gotta love Porsche!

[@westpalmdoc]

likely holds value bec of that...

[@peterzwameter5674]

@stanley jean Same goes for every design successor that follows an iconic lineage. Charger. Mini. Corvette. Same for logos. Artists are stuck to that what made them famous. And so on.

[@JeffKing310]

I like the format - good video!

[@doccyber]

Good thing you sat in it. They were all locked at LA Auto Show. Thanks Porsche.

[@matthews852]

Best looking 911 since 993.

[@fredhassenDogtraining]

You also forgot that the wheels on that S and 4S models now come 20” in the front and 21” in the back stock. Very nice review and format though!

[@levisaxen614]

Your age doesn’t de-value your video. But your explanation of why we should does. Just run with it. Good video sir.

[@Ozgrade3]

Mike is doing a great job, keep up the great work. Porsches are cheap in the US. In Australia we are paying the equivalent of 230,000 USD for the same model that you pay 120,000 USD for.

[@rnunez70681]

Why such a big difference? Taxes?

[@rufirufus7]

NICE video and nice format !

I like the light bar personally.

[@davehenderson9105]

[@pezz_pezzer]

This format is groovy... I like.

[@garth19791]

Don't compare a Porsche to a Big Mac...... Never.

[@blitzbbffl]

Nice job Mike. Like that the new 992 is all widebody, like the rear light bar. Dislike the new screens flanking the tach. Hate the digi-shifter. A 4% price hike is not a surprise, given it's a new platform.

[@kclefthanded427]

I like the light bar, it reminds me of the 993 only thinner

[@JohnGem0324]

Love this format, love the light bar, love to own one.

[@gletschertroll]

Firstly: Thank you for properly pronouncing "Porsche". It hurts my ears how some of your compatriots pronounce it. The rest: quite nice, given that no test drive is included/could be included at the time and you could only use marketing images/clips by the manufacturer. The emphasis on price seems to be interesting, though, as you wouldn't expect the 911 to become cheaper, do you?

[@rickoh7578]

Yes! A very good format.

[@9919S-x6u]

Nice job. Enjoyed your explanation

[@goatmonkey2112]

443hp is one less than the 959. And this is just the regular S model. It's kind of mind blowing how far we've come in 30 years.

[@onewayofliving]

Considering a Ford Mustang GT 5.0 is pushing 480hp, Porsche needs to pick up the pace. :)

[@thomasferrarojr.9772]

@@onewayofliving Really? Why do they need to pick up the pace when it will still beat that in overall performance??

[@jdkoz98]

Thomas Ferraro Jr. people think hp is the only way to make a car faster

[@norwegianblue2017]

I would like to see these two models go up against a $65k Corvette Grand Sport on the track. Probably pretty similar in everything but price.

[@goatmonkey2112]

OK, let's have any of them go against a motorcycle. Pretty much any motorcyle built for speed will stomp on all of these cars. Sometimes horsepower, or even speed is not the point. There are other factors and you all know it.

[@efilms8028]

Nice Video - keep it up. Was waiting for the 2020 but decided to buy a 2018 slightly used. Am not a fan of the shifter. Keep up the good work.

[@georgebagorski144]

Is it really a shifter. You can use paddle shifters.

[@mjuwono]

Totally agreed. Thanks for the cool thoughtful video.

[@johnniewildwrangler]

well I guess I'm a Porsche nerd... they all are wide body, turbo, 7-speed and you can tell the difference in the back side.

[@ProudiPhoneOwner]

I love this overview format for introducing new cars! Like if you agree!

[@lklk3384]

The shifter looks cheap! There's no excuse for the change. Also, the steering wheel looks cheapened as well.

[@farzana6676]

Steering wheel looks absolutely fine to me. Auto shifter could have been larger though.

For someone who grew up around Porsche’s you sure don’t display a lot of knowledge about them considering how long you ramble on for.

[@davdidit6]

I like everything I saw, including the shifter. It just makes sense. Good video too, well done

[@gerardjoaquino8856]

if you think $120k is expensive, we pay ~$180k above for a 911 here due to taxes. at that price, you'd be scared to even take it out for a "drive". is it still worth it these days? the MX5 is the only car i can think of maxing out hassle/worry free. outside of that maybe an 86/BRZ. but i'm just ranting; would love to know what others think.

[@periklisc111]

Great video, nice explanation 👍

[@kdm313]

Thought I was going to learn something new. Price. It’s a Porsche

[@moof2]

but you can still shift the pdk from the console shifter, right?

[@waterboy1628]

quick question- did you attend the LA auto show?

[@navyfan87]

Nice job and very informative except for the part where you compared the 911 to a Big Mac... (several times)... :). It's a valid point but perhaps some other iconic brands like Rolex or Tiffany, where the changes in styling are evolutionary not revolutionary, would be more appropriate.

[@mysteryshopper7296]

If you know a lot about 911’s you’d know the light bar is going back to the 80’s styling

[@gordonclaxton8916]

I love the new light bar...

[@mikkelm.5898]

Nice format! Like the car, but I think I'll need some time to get used to that big "but" and the wing looks bulky

[@hanklandsberg8247]

Regarding the "new improved price"....don't forget, the price includes PASM, now standard on even the base 992. At LA Auto Show, Porsche rep said base model will start at about $99K, but since that now includes PDK and PASM as standard equipment (plus all the new tech stuff), it's not that big of a price increase over the 991.2. My other thought about the "shaver-style shifter": the old shifter made it easy to switch to Manual mode, by moving the lever to the left. The new one won't do that. There is an "M" button on the center console, which means you need to take your eyes off the road to find it. I hope there's another way to engage/cancel Manual mode! Like, hold either of the steering wheel shift paddles for a second, or something similar that you can do without having to look for a button. But it's still an awesome car!

[@georgetundas3713]

Nice video. Info good.

[@charlieg2256]

I love it

[@waynedavis7118]

It’s expensive. You wanna try buying one in the U.K. the US base price is comparatively a steal

[@taforth]

Well presented.

[@kennynunez6792]

Uhhhhhhhh, wouldnt it be better to drive it first, relate all the pertinent data and conclude. Ill patiently wait TFL's first drive review.

[@georgebagorski144]

Agreeeeee

[@abdelsami3elLami3]

Great concept, awesome video and magnificent car. If only the camera men could have a steady shot and stop wiggling the camera.

[@moof2]

the badging looks reallllly good, esp in the back

[@morimo11]

Finally a useable cup holder.

[@dannykl6883]

I’ll take the base Carrera with manual gearbox if I ever upgrade from my naturally aspirated 991.1 which is doubtful!

[@carlosgomez890]

I love the video format and info, small advice if you want to go global do not use US examples like the mcdonalds comments.. congrats man!! I suscribed ti your channel already...

[@simioso]

I saw one with a quad tipped exhaust. Any idea what model that is?

[@JrBangY]

Give me the option to upgrade the knob

[@zerofactor7871]

I only have two questions: what year is it because I could have sworn it was 2018, but this is clearly titled "2020 Porsche 911" my second question: does anyone know how to fix a flux capacitor

[@michaelscurr9046]

well done mike

[@michaelm1105]

Any mention on weight?

[@richardford3310]

using a big mac as an analogy is not serious, credible... perhaps a generational thing

0:50 faaaanastic rear end. what a tush

[@tonytanti8138]

What's the deal with 911 and 992...never understood

[@kurtgurkan9974]

Tony Tanti 911 is the car model 992 is the generation of 911 similar to Jeep with the JK and JL

[@RaleighMann]

911 is the model - all other monicker refer to the model years it was made (model type). This generation is now the 992, previously in descending order 991, 997, 996... The better explanation I have found on the model 'type' is here: newsroom.porsche.com/fallback/en/products/porsche-model-name-type-number-12087.html

[@Gambantein]

Good thing that Porsche scrapped those narrow body 911...

[@primetime9705]

Beautiful car

[@russtucker6144]

Doesn’t look that different in the front compared to the 991. I don’t like the back at all, almost looks to bulky. Taking the shifter out was a big mistake in my book. I’ll stick to a 991.

[@RaleighMann]

I find the front looks very different - much more plain but if you configure it with the sports fascia - it is greatly improved from this standard. I also like the hood lines of the new model - but agree I have yet to see anything making me want to drop my 991 (which is a 'forever car' for me)

[@dam4274]

I would think that when the base Carrera manual comes out, it should be be under $100k.

[@stanoster3417]

Oh, I forgot what’s with that camera lens?

[@RaleighMann]

I don't think a car that adds a 10% increase in performance spec, new safety features, etc - but *only* increases price ~4.5% is a 'bad thing'. I own a 991.1 911 that 'came with' the performance package (normally a $16K option) and it added a paltry 8% increase in performance) - yes these cars are expensive relatively speaking - but considering the market and other car price increases that don't offer as much performance changes - this remains a heck of a bargain in the car class it belongs. And while racing car drivers are now paddle all the time across all *racing teams* - those of us who love the PDK but want the /feel/ of a shift, will miss the shifter knob. What I want to see is what the GTS Convertible will look like in the coming months.

[@Jrbettis]

Safety category? Nice category layout.
