I think porsche is one of the few companies where the base trim is recommended over the higher ones. They’re pretty capable for what they are, and can probably suit most people’s needs if they are just road driving and want the looks. Also, I’m glad that base porsche’s don’t look terrible which make you have to upgrade to the next trim.

I used to have a plain basic 911 (997) with manual transmission and with absolutely NO options at all. The reason for it is because my budget was limited but I needed to have an owner status of the 911 so badly. At the end of the day, I was right. I throughly enjoyed what Porsche is all about, and attended one time at Fuji Speedway event, and beat a Ferrari on the home stretch at 240 km/h. Currently I am driving an Audi S5 Coupe (4WD) but thinking about going back to BASIC Porsche once again after viewing this video.

THank you for your vlog. Probably one of the better reviews I've watched for a bit on the Porsche. Before I had to get a proper job I owned a Boxter. I didn't buy it to pose in or drive fast. I bought it because on the test drive, it gave me such a smile on my face that I couldn't say no since no other car has ever done that. The psychology of buying just the base model knowing that you climb into it, start it up and start smiling is astounding. It had a profound effect on me. However living where I do, I went to 2 wheels and even with lease and all the options, a nurse would never be able to afford a car even the base model you drive. THank You again for your vlog.

As someone who recently cross shopped a bunch of cars including a 911 and agonised over the whole base Carrera vs Carrera S thing, I think I kinda figured it out: The truth is the Carrera is the one bought by the average drivers with a bit of money who are most honest with themselves. The regular bloke, who spends pretty much 100% of the time driving the car normally, on city streets, just like everyone else. They don't track the car, would never want nor need to drive the car anywhere near it's limits, where they wouldn't even notice the 2% advantage the PDCC or PASM - 10mm gives them anyway. They never use full power so they wouldnt even know the difference between base and S, never change driving modes so forget the sports chrono package , don't want the 'noisy' exhaust, they just use the car like any other car to go from point A to B, only with a little more style and excitement than that Camry they secretly know they would probably be just as happy to drive. They just want to save a few bucks, drive a car that makes them feel special, and has a nice badge that everyone's heard of. Isn't that what the carrera is just perfect for? If porsche knows one thing, they know their customers. I am sure they knew there's a bunch of people out there (people like me if I am being honest) that are a perfect fit for a car like this Thanks for the lovely video btw!

I disagree. I bought a new base 991.2 Carrera. Being a wheelchair user, I need the PDK (which is an amazing gearbox, anyway). I use it as a daily driver, often doing 1000mile in a day runs here in South Africa. I am pleased I don’t have all the little extras like rear wheel steering, as I after yearning for a 911 for 40 years, I wanted a “clean” experience, closer as possible to the older 911 ethos. As for keeping up with Caymans or Carrera S or GTS, I am absolutely confident that once at this level it is all about the skill of the driver. A Walter Rohl in a base 911 could probably lap most places faster than 99% of other drivers even in GT products. As mentioned, I wanted a 911 for 40 years. I bought this for myself, as a daily driver, as a keeper. I can comfortably commute, cover huge distances, or push it over the many local mountain passes. As a planned long term keeper, I was more concerned that some of the high spec, specialist stuff like rear wheel steering might be something that could eventually go wrong. What I can report is that every km of the 120 000 km we have covered together have been done with a smile on my face. It is quite simply the best car I have owned, and meets every expectation and need. My only gripe is that I do seem to get through (bloody expensive) tyres really quickly (every 20 000km or so), but I imagine that is directly related to my enjoyment!
@LudiCrust.4 ай бұрын
You were definitely right not to get expensive over engineered add ons to your 911 since you plan on keeping it. Those systems make owning them past 5-6 years prohibitively expensive bc they do go wrong. Since they’re German they often have redundant systems that tend to fail which ads even more expenses. I’ve never owned a 911 but if I do end up getting one I’m getting a base model with a PDK and nothing else. I live in a large city so there’s no way I’d ever buy a car with a manual transmission again. Cheers driving a 911 throughout Africa. Thats gotta be a blast!

Like this press car, I would certainly also go for the leather interior (Dash, doors). I think its shameful that a 100k usd car has an ugly plastic interior as standard. This to me is a 911. The turbo S i brilliant, but i just cant see spending true exotic money on one, when at its core its a 100k car. The base one is for me. Awesome video as always.

So cheap the right exhaust tip is misaligned 😂

I feel like someone who the base 911 really speaks to. My dream car is a 911 and it's always going to be a stretch for me anyway so seeing how great the 992 base Carrera is, is really intruiging. On top of everything it would have to be my everyday car. Currently I've got a 987 Cayman S manual and a 14' Cayenne Diesel so my thought would be melting those two into one essentially haha. But to be honest, I'm always so happy with the Cayenne that the CS sits around too much. Loved the video btw, the cinematography was on point and I think the base car doesn't get the love it deserves. It would be really fun to compare a used 991 CS to the 992 base in the future.

This approach is sooooooo spoiled... "Only a base model 911" Mate if I would get to drive any Porsche I would be over the moon!

Very nice video Sam. I have a base 991.2 Carrera and with all the options, including PDK, sport chrono and full leather, I could have bought a stripped Carrera S. The car is plenty fast for my needs, and for the speed limits here in the USA.

Worth noting that the base spec does not have any locking diff. The base PDK ediff is essentially open but the car still has safety (reactionary) features like Active Braking Diff. No PTV on the table either. You have to get the S to get a sportier diff and the option for PTV+. Also the staggered wheel size means the wheel base is virtually lengthened. The 992 needs rear wheel steer to feel even remotely sporty or B road capable. (I traded mine in for a GT3.)

Sport Chrono also is the only option that gives you active engine mounts… that’s why most people select it-not for the lap timer.

Needs rear wheel steer to feel even REMOTELY SPORTY…..?? Ahhh…….quite the opposite, according to people that really DO KNOW !! Rear Steer creates an almost false road feel……nothing desirable here. Most that got it, regret it !!

Great video and this is the first time that I’ve been on your channel which I subscribed to. I’ve always wanted a base 911 naturally aspirated and your video and description of the car is exactly what I want. I’m from Boston and we have mountains 50 miles north of us that we can zip around the corners like you are. Thanks for the video. Warren

Love how pumped you got when you realized that there were the autobahn sections that don’t have a limit. You were as excited as you deserved to be.

Watching it drive by in the snow, it looks so sweet!!! The base 911 is stunning. Nice cinematography btw. Cheers

These types of adventures are the best videos in my opinion. Great content.

You got me! I thought for sure it was a 996 until I got a glance at the rear end. Cheers man. Thank you for making the video.

Great Post, I think most people who are anywhere near spending 100k on a 911 have tussled with this one (nice probably to have) but I find the whole 911 thing more interesting. Ie you start off looking at 996’s then drift into 997’s but these have gone up so much it makes the 991 look a bargain then as you move up the 991’s the boggo 992 looks an option and on it goes…. Maybe one for you Sam 👍🏼
