My thoughts, exactly, for the past 40+ years of having base model Porsches as my daily drivers. In the very beginning, it was all about which model I could afford.......base model. As my career built and my computer business became successful..........base model. When I retired, it wasn’t about money any longer..........I can afford any Porsche available...........base model. I, like you, feel that the experience of driving a Porsche every day should be done in a..........base model. It allows for greatest sensations without pushing you too far over the edge. Though I have a racing background in motorcycles, on a daily basis I feel that most cars today are too powerful for most drivers and they only buy them to keep up appearances for friends or acquaintances. I love your mantra of The Art of Driving because it highlights the pleasure we should get from driving a sports cars.........not over our heads. I was a skilled racer and am now 75 years old. Expectedly, I no longer have the motoring skills I had in my 30s, but I can still handle a car rather well even as I age. All because of my choice to continue driving manual base model Porsches. When you reach my age, I just know you’ll feel the exact same way you do right now. Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@JankoLind]

Sir, Thank you for sharing to our community, and as expected I agree with you.

[@bentley9249]

I agree with you 100% that is why I only order base model.

[@Ohyesbigboi]

What a great summary my friend. I always am confused about which model , base or S . The way you put it in words is perfect. Thank you sir !

[@marklawrence9416]

Thanks so much for sharing the video Janko. After three years of GT4 ownership, I decided to go for the 992 Base Carrera. Picked it up in September 2022, it’s presently in the garage over winter. Looking forward to bringing it out of ‘hibernation’ from April 1st 2023. Your video is beautifully presented with excellent content. Kind regards, from the UK.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Love this docu style, like a Bond villain talking about his retired life LOL. surely getting the standard Carrera

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, aviator2492, the car was worth a little more effort when reviewing it.

[@dwh4458]

I’ve owned numerous Porsche 911 since 1998 with half being S models and half Carrera base... always struggling with the values of each. When looking at buying a 2020 992 Carrera S vs. Carrera base, I really struggled. After driving both and watching this video... I finally realized the truth. The base really provides the ultimate experience of a true Porsche enthusiast and the best daily experience to push the car to the limits within the normal limitations of a busy city. Sure......an open road with no limitations would make the S ideal.... but I love pushing the base to the max every turn vs. the S model - and always holding back..This review...above all...truly articulates the why behind the base vs. S model. Bravo for reminding me why I love Porsche.

[@JankoLind]

Thank you, D Horton, for contributing to our community. I think you are on the right track. We (myself included) are some times affected of all the commercial on the top models that we forget the simple clean ones.

[@hollywoodcheremonkey]

That makes sense though. The base should already have everything necessary to be a 911 Carrera.

[@JankoLind]

Agree

[@adamp6666]

Just bought a base Carrera and this video inspired me to do it. I’ve always taken the fastest version of every car I’ve purchased. It kept me from looking at 911s, because they are $200K USD. However, you are right about cars being so fast you can’t really enjoy them on public roads. I don’t track my cars. Bought a base cabriolet in adventurine green. The cinematography on this video is just gorgeous.

[@JankoLind]

Great video! 👍. How about a Carrera T with the 4.0 l of the GT4!? Preuninger said at Goodwood, that the engine would be used in more models in the coming years. 🤔😎

I purchased the base 992 two months ago and I could not be happier. I feel the same as you when I drive this beautiful car mostly on weekends here in Sydney Australia. Thanks Janko for your video showing an accurate description of this Porsche model.

[@mobst4r1]

God damn. This was so poetic. I thought I was set on buying a used 991.1 4s but you’ve convinced me to buy the base 992! What a lovely video and channel you have!

[@JankoLind]

Thanks you Visionary, you will not be disappointed with the base Carrera, try to keep your spec clean focusing on you personal needs and not the next owner. Thanks for watching and perhaps you have honored me with your subscription?

[@mobst4r1]

@@JankoLind I have been subscribed to you for about a year now but I rarely leave a comment. However, I felt that I couldn't watch another one of your videos without commenting on how spectacular the production and format of your videos are... I have never owned a Porsche. I have only had BMWs but I am making the transition to Porsche. I really love the idea of the 991.1 4S because of the look, sound, and prices. It is difficult to make a decision. Since you have driven the 991.1 and the 992, what do you think? Love from USA

[@JankoLind]

@@mobst4r1 Dear Visionary, my advice to you is to drive them your self and make up your own mind. Test drive them is my advice. What suits me might not suit you. Both are great cars to drive and if it is your first Porsche you will be satisfied. Wish one of them, is likley to drive more emotions from your heart ❤️?

[@eddycabello667]

Even two years after you created this video, I stumbled upon it. And perfect timing! I owned a base carerra 997 and am getting the itch for another Porsche. As I consider ALL of the the possibilities in models, I now realize that I've been wasting SO MUCH time on this decision. Back and forth...and forth and back...S...4S...GTS...Base...and around again. I, like 18echost below, have come to grips with the fact that a base will be perfect for my needs, driving capacities, and enjoyment....key on the last word...enjoyment. Thanks Janko for your poetic discourse on the real simple passion of driving a 911. You helped me make the decision that I needed to make. Now, what color? EC/Indianapolis

[@JankoLind]

Go for a white Carrera T

[@francisarnould3959]

Very beautiful video (and photos !) Janko. This yellow base Carrera is so attractive… I totally agree with you on the feelings it gives on B roads, and power is greatly enough for that. A Carrera T with the 4.0 NA could be great. Thank you very much !

[@JankoLind]

That would be amazing, and I think it might be true one day.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Nice video. The base Carrera is what I would eventually be interested in. No rear axle steer, no torque vectoring, no sport pasm. I would even get the quad sport exhaust pipes only, and forego the sport exhaust, because I don’t like the 992 twin sport pipes.

[@JankoLind]

Agree, but I would by Öhlins Racing Road and Track before investing in any exhaust solution including sport exhaust from Porsche. Thanks for watching.

[@garywalters3523]

Epic video, I totally agree with your comments on the base model 992 Carrera, hopefully just about to get one…

[@JankoLind]

[@YousefShow]

Well done, the base is the best investment if you plan with limited budget to get the best sport car for decades.

[@JankoLind]

Thank you for watching and perhaps you have honored me with your subscription. I agree to your comment the base Carrera is a true candidate to the the best sport car with limited budget. But still a lot of money.

[@MostCedric]

I would like to order a base 992, because I don't like high horsepower cars, modern cars are too fast, once my body gets used to the acceleration, it feels super boring and you don't have time to enjoy the engine revving when accelerating. However, on Internet, people says the Rear Axle Steering is a must, is it true? Because to add this option, I have to upgrade to S, which costs a lot, around 20K Euro. I am not planning to drive on track, only highway, mountain roads and countryside.

[@JankoLind]

Hi Jun, have you seen my Rear Axle steering comparison? kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4Ozl4Wdiq-erMU On a 991, for me, it's a must have. On a 992 hmm difficult one for me. What's more important IF you live in the northern parts is PTW that's something that bothers me more on the 992 than the RAS... Perhaps you have honored​ me with your subscription?

[@Braydenplaysallday]

In the endless search for the highest HP & torque ratings as you climb the latter in the 911 lineup. I’ve always ended up preferring the base 911. With every variation you can buy, there’s just another version one step above.. it really never ends until you’re in a GT2RS. The base will still get you in trouble on the street. Enough power that 90% driving it will never be able to feel it’s full potential. And the power is plenty enough on the track as well. With PASM standard on the base 911, and having the the same wide body as it’s bigger brother has made the base even more attractive. Yes the S is more powerful, but the GTS will be more powerful than the S, then the Turbo, and Turbo S following that. It never ends.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, JK, for your contribution to our community. I agree to every word you write. Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@astronmr20]

I enjoy your take on the base model and agree 100%. Your videos are my little escape for the day.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, astronmr20, for your energy.

[@ian_987]

This has been one of your best videos, really good production quality and also a very thought-provoking discussion on the merits of the base 992 and driving in general. A pleasure to watch.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, Ian, I wanted my viewers to think why you purchase or fancy a model, and perhaps are you buying a car based on your own emotions or others... Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@nafnaf0]

18-ways, Two-Tone Leather interior, and Premium Package. I think that is all you would need on the base 911

[@JankoLind]

I do not agree, you need a Carrera T and then ONLY add bucket seats.

[@marcosunt1206]

The mysticism.of nothing, it s just a car but apart the emphasys i totally agree with Janko, thanks

[@JankoLind]

Thank you, Marco, take care.

[@93455Driver]

The comments about the base Carrera sounded similar to what Nick Murray said. For B road use, power is not key, and using more of the car, more of the time is possible (and more fun), not so with the higher power cars. One downside of base cars is that sometimes an option is not available, e.g rear steering on the 991.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks for contributing to our community and the time on my channel. Take care.

[@Sasa9464]

Hi. I don't drive a Porsche, but started watching your videos and thinking more and more about getting one... My budget is limited there looking to get 991.2 T manual 7 speed 😀 as my first Porsche. Thanks for the vvideo, enjoyed it ery much 👍👍👍

[@Nord_Mann]

Sasa Milosavljevic a 991.2 Carrera 7-spd is an amazing car! I’ve got the 7-spd Carrera T myself and it’s a complete riot to drive. I much prefer it to the 8th gen cars and to the 991.2 Turbo S which is outlandishly fast and therefore detracting feel and engagement from the drive. It’s much more fun driving the T at 9/10’s everywhere you go than a 992 4S or a 991.2 Turbo S at 4/10’s because they will send you behind bars for life if you exploit their potential on public roads.

[@JankoLind]

Thank you both for contributing to our community. I agree with Nord Mann, Carrera T is a unique car. Have a look at my review.

[@alf_1779]

Great review with a lot of good points. I am also looking forward to taking delivery of my new base 992 C2, it can't be long now, as it is currently getting PPF and ceramic coating.

[@JankoLind]

Congratulation to your 992, you will not be disappointed.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

You are becoming a cineasting Artist Janko. Great opening!!!! That was quite poetic! How much thought and time did you put into writing this? You have 911 in your blood - or even DNA who knows :) I agree with your assessment of today's base model as the pure model, starting this decade. It used to be a big difference between an S - engine, better breaks etc.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

You got me! I only saw the "Bonus" after - awesome pictures btw - you have the eye of a real artist

[@JankoLind]

Thanks for still contributing to our community and the energy you give me. Agree the base is purer.

[@ronstopfer2315]

I took delivery of the 992 C4S, rear-steering, PASM, front end lift, etc., etc., etc., on Oct 15. I’ve put 6,200 miles on it and it is a wonderful, wonderful car. Having said that, I agree with Jacks...I think the absolute base Carrera would have been entirely adequate. This C4S (I do like the “4” though) is, truthfully, too much car. I’m not belittling the “S”, I’m just saying there could have been just as much fun...”maybe more”...with the base. Can’t imagine the 992 Turbo S, I wouldn’t and won’t buy one; too much car!!!!!!!

[@JankoLind]

Well put, thanks for watching and subscribing

[@joshualorenz4665]

Agree with you with the exception of the base car only has two pedals. That’s a no go for me.

[@JankoLind]

The might be the car for us?

[@aam978]

I’m watching this video for the second time taking your advice about considering base models of 911. However, I want to have at least the PTV which is optional on the Carrera 4 and Standard on the S. Could you please shine the light on the Carrera 4 since there’s no comparison videos between Carrera 4 (base) with PTV and the Carrera S?!

[@JankoLind]

Extremely good comment, Ahmed, thank you for contributing to our community. It’s a tuff one. In Sweden 🇸🇪 between the Carrera 4 (with PTV) and the Carrera S is 8 000 dollar 💵. Looking at the depreciation of the cars I THINK 🤔 the Carrera 4 will take a slightly deeper turn. In addition the Carrera S, could be ordered with manual gearbox very soon wish make me personally more interested in the S. But then as I said in the video the engagement in the drive is more present in the Carrera and if they hade the options of PTV and rear axle steering they would sell less of other models as this thread is a proof of. You need to evaluate your needs and then buy the car based on how you use it.

[@aam978]

Janko Lind thank you so much Janko. I want a daily driver with once every month track day. That’s why I’m considering Carrera 4 with PTV and definitely PDK. Once again, I’m very appreciative for the time and passion you put in your high quality videos and insightful replies 👌

[@dhgoodall1]

This is a beautiful video and narrative, Janko! And I totally agree. I drive a 2019 911 Carrera 4 GTS and sometimes it feels a bit too powerful.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks for contributing to our community and for watching. Congratulation to your C4GTS, it's an amazing car.

[@Toni62R]

Pure Driving, I love it - the 911 is so classic! And in reality the 911 without S is fast like supercars from some years ago...

Excellent description of the base 911. Manhood issues are particularly prevalent in the U.S. Once you get past these issues you really do begin to appreciate driving. Subscribed.

[@JankoLind]

Bill, welcome to our community, BIG thanks for your subscription. I agree Manhood issue is very common and something I still work on. Nevertheless, in regards to the 992 base model, I do miss the PTV a lot since I live in the ​northern parts of Europe.

[@williamc9578]

Hi Janko, always enjoyed your videos. In your opinion, between a Cayman GTS 4.0 (manual) and a Carrera 911 base-model or perhaps a 992 Carrera T (eventually) ,which would you say is the more driver focused car?

[@JankoLind]

Hard to tell, at this point, I have only driven 1 of the cars. I've learned my lesson not to judge a car before driving it.

[@williamc9578]

So many cars, so little time 😊. Also can't wait to watch yr adventures in yr Spyder. Cheers!

[@mattseve]

Great vid Janko, I feel all you need is a pipe to smoke in this production. I totally agree about the base 911, it’s a car 99% of us can drive to its limits without feeling like we are being driven (like in the more powerful versions). I’m still loving my manual T.

[@drewmorg.]

I have to admit, especially when driving around on anything but the best B-roads, turbocharged vehicles definitely have their place. NA is great and all, but unless you live in the country side or make it a point to constantly drive your toy to the mountains you really don't get to appreciate it. In our 2006 Boxster S I find myself in California traffic, even during my spirited driving sessions. Additionally I adore the manual but cannot help but wonder how the PDK feels in average conditions... it kind of annoys me knowing it's the faster box AND more practical. As you say you must stress an NA motor to get that glorious sound and rushing acceleration but it's beginning to feel like a novelty and requires so much focus. Conversely, squeeze the throttle on any 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo vehicle and you're up to highway speeds without a fuss. They are the better highway cruisers and do it more efficiently as well.

[@JordanPayneLV]

It is definitely difficult to put your ego aside when deciding on a next vehicle. I have that current problem with my 981 S, I love the “S” and I think it would be hard for my ego to justify the expense of a base model 992. I’ll need to drive one to decide for sure

you're right about how Porsche have changed from being fully functional focused to primarily profit-oriented - Porsche are well known for being the only non-exotic marque to make 5 figures of profit per car sold. I still love them; being ripped-off not so much (which is why I'm still holding on to my old car while hoping one day to get a GT3 slot! Porsche think I should have been buying cars more regularly so they won't let me have a GT car)

Thank you for this video. Because of it, I was willing to ask for a Carrera slot over a C2S slot and will get my car in 30 days, a full 8 months earlier than the MY2022 C2S allocation. I have a question about the open differential though. Do you notice it significantly with PSM turned off?

[@JankoLind]

I've not tested it with a PDK gearbox which is electronic. On a manual, it is a mechanical look. But if the PTV is not disconnected when turning off the PSM you should feel a difference. Have not checked it though. Congratulation on your car, you will not be disappointed. Base Carrera does not have the option of PTV unfortunately. If you are not already please consider subscribing.

[@juliekavanaugh4993]

Janko, I watched your previous video on the pleasure of driving the 911 Cabriolet and I agree 100% .. After watching this video on the base 911, I'm thinking the perfect combination would be to have those two combined .. A base 911 Cabriolet with the manual transmission ( when the manual becomes available) .. We would love to see you review that exact 911 .. We love the passion you put into your videos!!!

[@JankoLind]

That’s a car I would drive BUT, the base Carrera will, as far as the information I have, not be available on the base Carrera.

[@997turbo2]

I totally agree with you, after owning 997 turbo manual for 9 years I began to appreciate more the sensations of driving and realized at the end its too fast for the streets, it was a performance car in its time and I enjoyed it but now I have changed accelerating, speed and cornering are elements but not the most important, driving sensation in harmony with all the surrounding environment makes an enjoyable drive, for me I wouldn’t go for more than 4s cabriolet because it’s seriously fast car, and i am considering Carrera cabriolet with all performance parts as an option because i think i can drive it hard and push it

[@JankoLind]

Hi 997 Turbo, I agree, a slower (if there are any slow cars these days) is sometimes easier to connect with. and the base Carrera provides a good platform to get your driving experience or as I call it The Art of Driving. I do miss PTV on the base Carrera and it needs to be lowered. If you are not already, please consider subscribing.

[@WheresTheAnyKey1]

Hmm, would you be able to compare the 991.2 GTS and the 992 C2S? I know there's been a power increase. I've been lucky enough to drive the 991.2 GTS and man that car is on my sights, but a C2S used models tends to have a greater depreciation. Thanks for the review, appreciate those fireplace transitions lol :D

Yes, the GTS upholds the value better than the S models. Have you seen my 991.2 GTS videos? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bV6bnGaYi8mrd8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWjYgpyrh5iCqJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn2aY3h7ocp9gLs

❤ the comments because it’s true the art of driving should have pleasure and challenge combined and I agree that the basic CARERRA gives you the best of both worlds 😊

[@JankoLind]

I agree

[@tomcraig8027]

Some beautiful footage Janko. Was working in Stockholm for last 12 months now back in U.K. just wish I had driven those B roads. Look amazing.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, Tom, I hope you liked your stay in Sweden. Thanks for watching

[@MrSWW]

Is the 992 base Carrera worth the premium over the 991.2 base Carrera?

[@stevenloh3701]

Great Video! But may i know if you have finally change to black 992 S model?

[@JankoLind]

The yellow car in this video was never mine, it is a presser from Porsche.

How would you option a base Carrera, would have Chrono pack and larger wheels or just keep it simple?

[@JankoLind]

I would by 20/21 inch wheels, Öhlines Racing Road and Track, sports seats and chorno, that's it... oh heated seats since I live in Sweden.

[@MUV4TRUK4]

@@JankoLind thank you for the response, great video

[@maxmartz4665]

I agree and would at sport tech seats

Thank you for such a beautiful interpretation and experience. I guess today, for many other industries (clothing, watches, tech-related products), most of us are lost in the search of the record-breaking machine(s) because that's what grabs the attention. Did we become more materialistic, in a way? Definitely. We lost the ability to appreciate something and see certain thing as for what it is. Hence the reason why the gentleman who owns this basic Carrera model felt that you were simply defending him. If we are a true motor fan and Porsche fan, it wouldn't matter what model you are driving, you would still enjoy it and see it as for what they offer rather than how fast can it hit 0 to 100, what's the top speed and most importantly, if it is expensive enough to brag about it. It's shame, really. However, I am very glad to see people like you who really loves and continues to perform the art of driving. Thank you.

[@JankoLind]

What an inspiring comment, thank you, Jeongwoo. I hope all my viewers read it. Take care.

[@senorduc5944]

This is the Janko I like the most and have missed. Great video!

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, one-note, it takes a lot of time making a video like this. I don´t have the time to do this every time. Happy that you look at all my videos despite content and quality differences.

[@garyw1971]

Great, honest, very well articulated! The very best 911 review on KZbin 👌

[@JankoLind]

BIG thanks for your kind words. Perhaps you have honoured me with your subscription?

[@nosferatu756v6]

I just got a 911 carrera 992 and it is the best car I’ve ever driven. It is my second Porsche and without a doubt my favorite. This video was spot on the virtues of the base model, shame only the S and other variants get all of the attention.

[@JankoLind]

I agree; I might have an idea why... The Porsche community is large, but not all people can drive all cars. Therefore, many judgments are made based on statistics, and by journalists pushing the models, the OEM gets more profit from. The feeling of a pure connection, or as I call it, the Art of Driving, is, for me at least, worth more than any 0-60 time. IF you are not already, please consider subscribing, and congratulations to your 992.

[@nosferatu756v6]

@@JankoLind thanks for the reply, I agree, ive driven all the other variants on the 991.2 except the turbos and had some time on a GT3(which is something else entirely!! As you have said before) and ended up just being very happy with the base model. I do autocross and track often and have felt how Porsches perform under stress,which is why I call them the best! I have been watching you videos for years, lovely content, Happy holidays and thanks again!!!

[@waranoid]

Janko, I just wanted to thank you - after watching your amazing videos I've just ordered my base 992 carrera. Well, now I have to wait until june for pick up :)

[@got_gt3612]

Excellent review Janko, can not say any better than this!!!! More videos plz!!!

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, K-nut, I will try to publish more videos. Thanks for contributing to our community.

[@DaRkJ4ck]

but a S model is also not trying to claim the best round? That what the gt3 is for, no?

[@JankoLind]

The Carrera base model is a suit spot only chalanged by the Carrera T. The S is the gentlemans 911. The GT3 is manhood conseling.

[@timothybilecki8932]

I wish the base 992 had the manual... that was a real miss by Porsche.

[@JankoLind]

I agree, Timothy...

[@VaranDriver07]

First guy with the same opinion as mine, great video!👌👌👌

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, then it is 2 of us...

[@axelhofmann4897]

I get your point and I enjoyed watching this great video, but anyhow your feelings are unable to spoil the fun I have driving my 992 Carrera 2s!

[@JankoLind]

Never sad that the Carrera S was boring to drive...

[@hendrikpelser9454]

Exactly what it feels like to drive, if it could be put in words. Great video, thanks Janko.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, H P, for you energy, take care.

[@vuggie123]

At least spec an sports exhaust on the base... not only a color.

[@JankoLind]

NO, that's a waste of money, better to buy 3rd party products or even better, Öhlines Racing Raod and Track.

[@ConradILIius]

all true yet the Carrera is not offered with a manual....

[@JankoLind]

That's a shame and rumors say I will never have the manual.

[@Pierro1982]

In my next life, I want to be Janko.

I'm sorry, I don't understand you comment...

[@chefboli4985]

@@JankoLind lol, for most the time the base is not the worst model, it is the original, the inspiration, it is something can clam you down and drive. you just have to love it! sorry i responses in Chinese, but think it! how connected we are!

[@maxmartz4665]

I look for the T because it will have rear steering

[@JankoLind]

Yes, that will make the car more agile.

[@TheEmpiredown]

Awesome video and I couldn't agree more with your sentiments, J! Also, thanks for the lovely easter egg photos. Really great shots! Did you ever get the mail I sent your way last year? SS

[@JankoLind]

Yes, I did receive the mail, thank you so much. I'm sorry I did not take the time to thank you during Christmas and new years but it was stuck in customs until the end of January since I needed to pay customs duty $11and I missed it. But your letter was very much appreciated, thanks.

[@TheEmpiredown]

@@JankoLind I'm so sorry that you had to pay customs on that! I guess the wife didn't get her coffee. 🙃 It was such a trivial little gift. Again, apologies and be well. SS

Epic! I am in love!

[@JankoLind]

YES this is not a bad one...

[@stigpalm1922]

An interesting choice you are doing, base 911 vs 911S. Then we have the Cayman GTS 4.0? I'm a Cayman S, 2016, with no turbocharger owner and is considering a 911 base model. Well, these two cars are so different and is more a question of feelings if we forget the price difference between these two. The GTS 4.0 gives a hell of a lot of pleasure for less money. It's not easy being a Porsche brainwashed driver. Watched your video regarding the 718 Spyder and got the impression, this is a real Porsche driving machine.

[@JankoLind]

YES, the Spyder is a pure driving machine but dose not offer any comfort. for that the base 992 is perfect and still gives you driving pleasure. No PTW though :-(

Hope you are well, we have lost touch................Jeff
