Porsche 911 HONEST Ownership Review - 5,000 Miles update - Visiting Podium Place in 992 Carrera S

In March 2023 - I took a day to myself to visit podium place in my Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S. 5,000 Miles of ownership have been more than I could have expected from the car icon that is the 911.
HUGE thank you to Podium Place for the hours SIM experience - which I highly recommend and to @seenthroughglass for his extraordinary coffee which I purchased whilst there also 👌👌👌
CMD has been set up as a You tube channel with a difference - info about the work we do at the end of this video - thank you for your support if you Made it this far ❤️❤️

[@carfan3762]

In other words, you have just pointed out what a privilege it is to own a 911. And I agree with you 😎

[@CarMadDad]

That’s a great way to look at it chap - yes 👍

[@plasticbadger1663]

Great review thanks! Can’t wait to pick mine up in a week. 😊 Also really great that you donate the proceeds of your channel to such a worthy cause. As someone with a channel on my own (not this one or car related) I know how much time effort and cost goes into producing content! Bravo. 👏🏼

I am a car mad dad myself and also have a 992 Carrera S (manual clutch though) and this is the first video of yours I have seen. Really liked the honest review and agree with your points. Also good idea about donating the proceeds to charity! Shame not more youtubers do the same. Thums up from me! You have a new subscriber!

[@CarMadDad]

Appreciate that chap - thank you for the view and comments Lots of back catalogue to enjoy 👍

[@rossdonison4999]

Awesome video. I agree with your perspective after owning mine for a year or so. Absolutely brilliant car for nearly all purposes, especially the fun ones. I agree some of the switchgear and touch surfaces are a bit chintzy. Not terrible, but somewhat noticeable, gor me especially the power window and mirror controls. That’s about it. Enjoy your car, and continued good luck with the channel! I love the donation format.

[@jonasirw1]

Love what you’re doing with this channel! Awesome way to give back to your community!! I have the exact same car and spec as you - (mine is dolomite silver metallic), same spyder wheels etc but mine is manual which is a blast to drive. I have had more cars that I care to count but this one…I have never loved a car this much and I have no intention of ever selling it. I’m 6ft 1 and the only thing that drives me crazy about it is the visor doesn’t extend along the side window and the sun will pierce through that gap and blinds the crap out of me.

[@CarMadDad]

Hey 👋 Great choice in spec - often crave a manual. Thank you for the view and comments. Obviously I’m not struggling with the visor issue being a mere 5ft 9’’ 😂

Nice video, I’ve run a 992 C4S as a daily for the last two years and concur. The best car I’ve ever owned by a mile, so easy to drive, so quick, even quite practical (for a sports car).

[@CarMadDad]

Couldn't agree more!

[@sikhumbuzobulose6748]

Wow!

[@Tothefloor]

I sold my 992 2S and bought a 2017 V10 R8 and the R8 is a MUCH better car. The sound, the steering, and the overall feel are better than the 992 2S. It's exotic and amazing.

[@mahdi9207]

I did do the same, but kept the 992. Since I got the R8, i haven't touched my 992...

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you for sharing

[@CarMadDad]

Interesting

[@PBRF77]

Just a note on the 911 seats. If you're a bigger gentleman with broader shoulders (around 50 inch chest +) you may struggle to fit in the (18 way) sport seats, which I believe you @carmaddad have. I sat in a 992 Turbo and I didn't really fit in the Sport seats. I kind of just sat on top and it was very uncomfortable. They do a (14 way) comfort seat which was much better. Just wanted to point this out if any bigger gents are thinking of buying a 911 and then don't fit in.

[@CarMadDad]

That’s great feedback and input chap - I don’t know the extra adjustability made the seat itself different 🤔 Appreciate the input fella 👌

[@BrianStDenis-pj1tq]

I think you nailed it. Sure, you can find a few faults, like with materials or road noise or tech package, small things like that. But, you don't find fault with quality and reliability. And, if you take it to the track, then it all makes sense. A key thing you said is when you said you got what you expected, maybe a little bit more. That is why 911s are so loved and have such good resale these days. Thanks.

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you Brian chap 👏🏼

[@mattsurrey6138]

Great video. Nice to hear an experienced review from a normal person and not a journalist or youtuber who has the car for a few days max. Your ownership comments mirror my thoughts of my 992 S ownership. Have to say though, I swapped my PDK S for a Manual 992 GTS and it feels like a totally different car. As a weekend toy (not a daily) I find the manual epic fun. If you can find one to test give it a go, would love to hear your thoughts.

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you for the view and thoughts chap - v kind of you. 👍 Yeah I’ve had a few ppl mention the manual which I defo would have considered if it wasn’t my daily runner (which it now isn’t) at time of purchase. Trying hard to get a drive and film a comparison… watch this space!!!

Lovely to see this honest review. Something I’m beginning to think is that the 4.0 718 is the porsche of the moment IF you want the original experience of sound and dynamic ability. Very interested in your view

[@CarMadDad]

I agree whole heartedly chap - I’d love a 4.0 NA - just can’t stump up the dosh for a used GT3 any time soon but would be very pleased with a 4.0 718 - have reviewed a GT4 on the channel - LOVED IT!

[@mrlotusmic]

I’ve had my 4.0 for two years. It’s a keeper especially at the price point with everything that comes as standard.

[@villaman4818]

@@CarMadDad If not a daily the 981 and 718 Spyder's are where its at if you are a B road driver. I prefer the lighter (120 kg) 981 over the 718 as it is obviously a bit more nimble with better power to weight.........Track is of course your GT3/4 territory.

awesome stuff. i've had a 992 s cab for a year now, been babying it until recently, and i discovered that this thing is *fast*. it puts the power down so well for a RWD; as a contrast, the BMW F10 M5 is spinning rear tires all day when i hit the throttle, while the 992 is smooth. just a great car.

[@Nord_Mann]

New sub here! Having driven every generation 911 Turbo/Carrera/GT3, I must confess to me the 992 is too much of a polished luxobarge to be really interested in getting one. Of course I’m interested in following where Porsche is heading and have been doing over the years, having owned double digit P-cars from 4x 964s (2X C4, C2 & Turbo), a lovely 993 C2, C4 (.1 Tip) & GT3CS (.2) 996, 997 (.1 CS & .2 C2) s and the last one which were a 991.2 Carrera T before test driving several 992s (C4S & Turbo S). To me the 992 just grew out of being a proper sports car and into a comfy do-it-all grand tourer and along with the 2 things you mentioned on the negative side, along with the fact it gotten just too big for my liking, it meant I jumped off the 911 bandwagon and went 718 instead, which to me is the new Porsche of choice. Of course I kept my favorite generation 911 which is the first Porsche I’ve owned, a 964 C4 built to my taste, sporting a Bilstein suspension, a tuned 300hp engine breathing through a 100-cell sport catalyst and a shouty cup exhaust. Daily duties is carried out in the base E3 Cayenne which is perfect for trailering the 718 4RS to and from tracks in comfort.

[@CarMadDad]

Cheers for the view and sun chap - quite the ownership and product experience. I agree with you in the size and that the 718 really is the car of choice. I tested and filmed a cayman GT4 last year and it remains the favourite thing I’ve driven on UK roads this far. Can only imagine it’s superb on track. That being said - when I originally looked at options the 992 trumped everything for its daily ability which historically I needed. Now I have an EV for day to day - I’m wondering whether I can go more focused and live with something else… only time will tell 👌

[@Queenwraith]

Great vid, I’ve followed you since before I bought my 650d coupe like yours, identical bar the piano black! How does it compare this beast?!

[@RandySmith-iz1ml]

You mentioned you were worried about how much fuel you used when at the track, just what kind of mileage did you get? Interesting to know what that's like when you're driving it at the edge. Thanks.

[@CarMadDad]

I wouldn’t say “worried” about fuel use chap - I have just never spent soo much time out on a track day as my card have always needed time to recover / restore brake feel. On the edge it’s a weapon chap - sure footed and capable way beyond what I expected 👌 Turn everything up to max and grab it by the scruff of the neck - you’ll never look back 👀

[@ms8742]

I had a 2017 911 S with a manual. Very nice quality and fast....but so fast that you can't really enjoy it much. Also pretty heavy. I enjoyed my 2009 911 base more cause it was more fun to drive and go through the gears. I don't have the 911 anymore and I am an early list to get a Lotus Emira as well as the 911T. Once I get both I will keep one and get rid of the other. I like the quality and build of the 911 and long term value, but I think I will like the uniqueness of the Emira more which is about impossible to get.

[@CarMadDad]

Sounds like a good few purchases made chap - I’ve not yet seen / experienced the lotus so please keep me posted 🙏🏻

[@ms8742]

@@CarMadDad Hopefully one day I get the Emira. On it's fourth delay coming to the USA. Now supposed to get it in October and I am 4th on the list in my State. Will be about 11 months to get the 911T. Will update when something actually arrives!

[@GarryVan-ls3ke]

Hi Dale, I’m looking to get my first 911(992) and wondered if I should go for a 4 or 4S as the amount of power worries me just going through two wheels. What do you think ?

[@CarMadDad]

Hi Gary I have the Carrera S It’s very sure footed for a RWD car however if you are unsure you will definitely not regret a 4S - and you have the added benefit of additional confidence in the slippy stuff

[@agnesf2659]

Did you compare 911 992 to Mercedes E coupe before purchase? What's your take on E coupe? 911 could be my next car but not sure if I would get used to 911's interior glossy/matte plasticky vibe. I don't speed so a 911 C4 or C4S could suit my needs. Any insights will be highly appreciated.

[@CarMadDad]

I never considered the Merc chap as not my bag personally (although see why you would like them) I needed a all rounder including track car so Merc never got a look. As a day to day - the E Class would be up there but you are comparing chalk and cheese 🧀

[@lastrasp]

Cracking video. These modern 911s just do everything really well. And unless you're doing track days all the time, a Carrera S will nail almost every task.

[@CarMadDad]

Yeah hit the nail on the head chap - do well on track all things considered 👌

Hi great video , but you do know you can simplify the display so the dial are bang on ,in the middle of the steering wheel,

[@CarMadDad]

Hi there Thank you for the view and comment. No way to simplify the displays in this car of mine. You are simply stuck with them. I believe you can slim down to 3 dials in a GT3RS however that’s a slightly different price point 😂

[@SnareMan]

Good video. I'm coming from BMW land... You kinda touched on this, but what about lack of HUD as a negative? Also, BMW has larger iDrive screen and dash screens which are all digital as opposed to the fixed gauges of Porsche. I'm considering a 911 after my M8 if BMW doesn't make another decent looking coupe and wonder how much I'd miss those things.

[@CarMadDad]

I’ll be honest chap - although I thought those things made the drive and experience better - the DRIVE AND EXPERIENCE is FAR superior in the 911 - you won’t look back

[@SnareMan]

@@CarMadDad Thanks for the reply. I have no doubt the car probably drives better. I'm assuming it's definitely more nimble. How about storage space? I would think, again having not experienced it, that the front trunk would be kind of annoying to use, that you essentially have to open and close it like a regular hood as opposed to an easy open and close trunk.

[@CarMadDad]

Could be I guess if you need regular access to big luggage space I don’t mind as don’t really use more than the frunk - no more annoying than opening a boot IMO

[@SnareMan]

@@CarMadDad I was thinking just things along the lines of grocery shopping that I would normally put in the regular trunk with easy access but now would go in the frunk. I'm going to try and go back to one of the Porsche experience centers here and drive one.

Legitimate question - why don’t cars in the UK ever seem to have tinted windows? Is it not allowed over there?

[@twood74]

Legal restrictions on the strength of tints on drivers and passenger windows. Rear passenger windows can be tinted to whatever level.

[@CarMadDad]

They are allowed over here chap - a few of mine have had these historically and i would say 50% of "performance cars" here have them... Personally i'm a fan of old school see through glass 😂😂

You can have the rear side doors and rear quarter and rear windows as dark as you like but the driver and passenger windows have to let 70% light in. Something like that anyway

[@VK6AB-]

This review popped into my feed for some reason. Its good that you're getting enjoyment from the car but to be frank I find most of the 992 Carreras to be a fairly bland experience, the 3L twin turbo is a good unit but overall the standard line have become a series of grand tourers with dial up HP and torque numbers. They are very different to the NA cars of old and NA GT division cars that really are the icons. On track you may be able to keep up with a GT4 for one or two laps but then it will be game over being fair you're not a track rat and you pointed out you purchased the 992 C2 as a daily driver. The rear axle steering makes a very significant difference to the handling of both the 991 and 992 series cars (literally game changing), more so as these new 911s are getting ever larger and heavier. Personally, I would pick a GT division car every day of the week (I don't know anyone that wouldn't) - the 991.2 GT3 Touring was a great car very similar to the much loved 911R and the RS is simply next level. Final point, the 992 interiors could have been lifted from any Benz/BMW or Audi - just bland. As some one that has owned Porsche sports cars for ~ 20 years plus five years of Cup, this is the first water cooled generation I haven't purchased - I haven't given up completely with Porsche (still own two GT div cars) but decided to take on a 296 GTB in preference to a 992 GT3 RS. PS not trying to be negative but pointing out there are very different perspectives on the 992 911 series and perhaps your review reflects a relatively narrow ownership window/experience. PPS watch out for the depreciation (if it matters to you - it may not).

[@CarMadDad]

Thanks for your view / thoughts. Review popped into your feed as you obviously have past watching videos around Porsche (would imagine) Understand it’s not a GT car - having spent a good few weeks with a few they were too hard for what I originally needed the car for. FYI - the 992 can stick with a GT4 and outpace it - Silverstone ☑️ Bedford ☑️ Donnington ☑️ (could be down to the driver but I doubt that based on myself being the CS) I agree it lacks the NA character but I also believe the turbo pick up gave it the extra speed to outdo the cayman. (ONLY MY EXPERIENCE) as is the whole video. So far depreciation is no worse than the GT4 j nearly purchased instead and so at the moment I’m comfortable… yet to own a car that doesn’t go down in value 👍

[@philipjc1]

The low profile tires add to the road noise and may damage your wheels. If you are configuring your Porsche get the 19” & 20” wheels. This will give you a high profile tire.

[@Tracertme]

Generally speaking VAG across the board, accept Bentley and Bugatti have been gradually reducing the interior trim quality from everything I have seen and it’s year on year… constant. Such a shame to see them constantly bundling software and dropping material quality.

[@CarMadDad]

Seems like most manufacturers are cost saving where they can 🤔

[@02hreblue30]

I had a GTS for 3 years. Nice car wonderful engineering but the overall costs for driving and tags and taxes just kill the experience.
