[@werbeck1]

They've fixed the slope of the roof line down the back so it finally has the same lines as the coupe. Huge improvement! I personally don't care for the sport design package along the sides, it kind of makes the car look fat instead of sleek. Ours is coming in January, Agate Grey with satin aurum wheels. Nice video, good camera skills Roger.

Thank you for this excellent review. I can wholeheartedly confirm everything you said. I'll get mine in April - and of course I've test-driven it. Everything is as you said. Only thing I disagree: I like it better without the design package - also in the rear.

[@davidsherley2652]

Another great video Roger (I subscribed long ago). I really like your turn of phrase ~ the price Porsche is asking is the cost of no compromise - I agree fully. Your narration and cinematography as so well composed and choreographed! I owned a 914 before a 964 coupe; no question, the feeling and sound of the air rushing by is really pleasant. I don’t doubt your researched, but I am really surprised that 1/3 of Porsches sold have been convertibles in one form or another. Given the rigidity issues prior to the 992, I would have anticipated that the predominance of Porsche owners would have chosen handling performance over ambiance.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Good seeing you again David, thanks , this 992 seems very rigid compared to older models,

Roger this is a mighty fine looking car. It’s a perfect spec for me with the colours and the 12 second conversion both practical and stylish. The rear end lighting and the overall sports design pack is fantastic. This has the looks, the 450 BHP performance and CLASSY street presence for a daily driver. You have that smug grin on your driving face which is a sure sign it’s a car to own and enjoy!

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Porsche seem to have this knack of making a fantastically capable drivers car that will launch you down the road faster than you realise and melt your face off, and then with the simple press of a button, it's becomes a fantastically capable everyday drivers car that'll calm you down when you want to. With or without a roof!! Does any other car manufacturer come close to them? Ferrari? Lambo? Aston? Hmmm.... Nope!! I'd say the nearest would be McClaren. But then you add in rock solid build quality and reliability and even McClaren will fade into the distance. Gorgeous car RB. Great video too :-))... Your No1 Stalker :-))...

Very Stylish review and camera angles - have a 18 boxster gts and thinking of changing to 992 cab , few questions Roger , 1) do you like this 992 s cab or the 991.2 gts cab you reviewed in terms of fun and feel ? 2) what do you think of 4S vs S 3) you did launch control in sport plus but the interior video shots does not have sport Chrono clock on dash or knob on steering wheel, diff car ?

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks Madhu, the 992 is generally an all round improvement in feel over the 991.2 fun factor is the same, I'd take the S rather than the 4S and yes I used a bit of cinematic license with the launch demo by splicing in a bit of footage from another car - good spot !

Roger Bailey Hey Roger Good to hear from you too This is the first Ive heard that POTP has been cancelled ! I wonder why? Probably because it brings in too much interest & £££ to the town notwithstanding the good cause that it supports as well..... Councils have funny ways of managing these things. The mind boggles !! I guess PCGB will be making announcement at some point ? I really hope something can be organised or an alternative venue agreed Are you coming down to Bicester the PCGB Xmas gathering, Dec 8 ??

911 is the best sports car at any price. The other super cars look like overly styled space craft and need maintenance more often. The 911 still has the classic car look.

@@RogerBaileyOnCars Hi Roger, Great Video! I am torn between the base 992 Carrera and the Cayman 4.0 GTS. Own a 2010 987 S Cayman with 112K miles and it's time to replace it with something newer. Drove the 992 S, but found the ride very harsh. Do you have the same experience? How is it compared to your Spyder? Visibility is better in the 992 and the seats are a little bit more comfortable, but the NA 4.0 will surely sound better than the 3.0 turbo. What is your personal opinion about the above cars?
