The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Is The Perfect Example Of Driving Nirvana

There's nothing more blissful than driving a #Porsche911Carrera. For decades, this iconic sports car has been exactly what enthusiasts are looking for when attacking a track or your favorite back road. The #911Carrerra4GTS represents the sweet-spot within the #Porsche911 family with nearly 500 HP, upgraded sport suspension, and a more aggressive design. Add AWD and the quick shifting PDK transmission and its easily one of the quickest accelerating cars on the market.

[@jamesmin2837]

@@Savethemanuals94 I'm just talking about myself. A lot of people make instinctive purchase decisions. And a lot of people with big budget aren't that deep into cars anyway. They just buy it, based on brand significance and looks. Truth is, all high priced cars are going to be "nice". So outside of reliability issues, most owners will be happy with what they have regardless of it being good value or not. I'm a performance guy, so I bought a 2017 Camaro SS. Back in 2017, it was basically new BMW M4 performance, at almost half the price. Or conversely, if I was to stay within Camaro SS budget, then a BMW 430i (2.0L tubro) was the same price. To me, the decision was no brainer. But a person that still bought the M4 will probably be very satisfied. I just couldn't bring myself to double my budget for similar driving experience. (Or according to Motor Trend, the Camaro was way better driving experience.)

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Even for the base 911 Carrera, and it's supposed to be the base and just standard 911, this thing is just insanely fast with this GTS model. Porsche always just delivers in terms of their performance, and I expected nothing less from those crafty German manufacturers. Not an inch was left untouched in terms of the engineering of this car's performance. And I'll also say that 8-speed PDK dual clutch is the best dual clutch transmission ever, and it's stupid fast to shift~~ It's between this PDK dual clutch or Mercedes' 9-speed multi-clutch transmission that I consider to be the two best transmissions ever, for me at least.

I would buy a 911s with a manual and rwd (no 4 wheel steering). Power is more than enough. I like the leather and alcantara in this model, but the gts 4 is too heavy. In fact, would love it if the 911 were shorter, narrower and lighter overall. Good review (as usual), however one correction: you cannot spec a base w a manual. You need to go up one trim level to the S for a manual option. Would seriously consider how I might buy a base (if it came with a manual) if I could get it for 120k. Would like to drive one (if/when such a spec existed) back to back with a cayman 4.0 liter.

@@samdavidowicz Car manufacturers cannot void warranties due to modifying your car. It's against the law, they have to find (most dealers just assume) probable cause that your mod did direct damage whatever needs to be warrantied. So for example you get a CAI and one of the cylinders starts to misfire. They have to link that cylinder started to misfire due to the CAI you installed. They'll assume most people won't fight it and the consumer will cough up the money to fix it. But there have been instances where the consumer won and they did warranty work. But for the most part it's too expensive to do legal battles if there is no guarantee to win said fight.

Your comment shows a lot of ignorance. With the exception of the part about Race Tex, everything you said is wrong.

The power tilt/telescope function of the steering wheel is included in any 911 with the 14 or 18-way sport seats plus, and is part of the memory function. This information is available to anyone who isn’t too lazy to check the Porsche website.

[@MichaelCoburn]

I’ll take your word on the width- although that is the first I am hearing of it. I know my seatbelts, stitching, tach and chrono dials are all in fact Carmine Red to match my paint. I think the power steering wheel went away as my 18 way adjustable seats do not have it. Cheers.
