2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T Manual vs PDK Review - The Purist Porsche

[@Darrentzx]

The only channel i can sit down for the entire video without skipping

[@miguelangelurquieta3169]

Lol same

[@emmanuelbadajos924]

same here !

[@camperchef5127]

Exactly

[@upthestreetpartnersapts4569]

Im embarrassed to admit (being slightly a older guy - HUGE car fan) - but I actually have a ritual before I sit down and watch you guys. I find a place where I can hide (i have kids and a wife) and actually turn my phone off - and then proceed to watch the entire review. You guys are amazing - you are probably what all your other fans (including me) wanted to do in life but yet you guys got up and did it. You guys are almost cult status and should go on tour. You should offer a option for your fans to join you on reviews - Keep the reviews coming and thanks for being the BEST of the BEST !

[@TheStraightPipes]

Hahahah that's one of the best comments we've ever received. Thank you

[@jordang9054]

Amazing job recording audio from separate cars and linking them together.

[@Sal12538]

You guys one upped Top Gear/Grand Tour by just putting one headphone on and calling each other for communication instead of using walkie talkies. The little things lol. Amazing review

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yeah but they have a lot of money, so they're still winning haha

[@dallasdutoit1307]

Could watch all day.....slick production and natural banter is the best

[@jbgoogmd]

As a new (1 week) Carrera T owner, this is clearly the best review on the Interwebs. Excellent scripting, editing and spot-on on every detail about this unique variant of 911. I tend to agree with nearly all your subjective opinions and spec'd my black T exactly as you suggested except with the standard seats since I'm >50 and daily driving. I call it my $100K (US) go-cart too.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Congrats! PS - no scripts for us 😉

I played dodgeball with Gordon, our team was the best. We were last place. Champions 😬

[@xf99]

Best Porsche review anywhere.

[@pirdah1336]

Awesome video. I bought a yellow T with regular brakes and regular seats. Traded in my 991.2 GT3 with carbon fiber seats. CF Seats are super uncomfortable. GT3 has too much power for daily driving. Personally i think T is better then GT cars including GT4 which i have owned as well. I have an F12 and the carbon fiber seats in that car are awesome. Until Porsche makes adjustable comfortable carbon fiber seats i would never spec them. Awesome video. Thanks

[@TheStraightPipes]

Can we come drive your cars plz

[@Nord_Mann]

Totally agree! Sport seats, manual, no sunroof. My Miami Blue dream car. Better than all of Porsches GT cars and way more usable being a 4 seater. Carrera T is THE best 911 ever. Period!

[@alohasnackbar3544]

Awesome, i was contemplating whether i should get a 4 seater or 2 seater carrera T, and was my choice correct on Carrera T or should I go for GTS instead. Looks like my choice was right. I will be collecting mine a used 2018 carrera T next week. Been cross shopping between 991.2 n 992. Still think 991 model looks better in every aspect. Besides, it cost me USD 145k for a slightly used 911 in my country.

[@albertop.6167]

Your videos are so good, I choose to savor them for after work so I can truly appreciate them

[@llewkcornosaj]

There's nothing I dislike aboot this channel. You guys are smooth operators.

It seems like yesterday that you guys only had 30k subs, and look at you now! This show is getting really good, really fast...love every episode.

[@charleschua9930]

Oh boy oh boy a new upload from the straightpipes!

[@Barobran92]

I only started watching you guys consistently a few months ago, but it's insane how much your channel has grown in such a short time. You guys quickly became my favourite YT car reviewers, and it's a bonus that you're fellow Ontarian's!

[@alexturpin1168]

Yuri's "Dance Mix 95" audio test. So genius. Definitely a valid test that I never thought about. Good job guys. Keep up the good work.

[@brandonng4147]

It’s great waking up to a StraightPipes video. Great job guys! Keep up with the good work!

[@TKmotivation-]

Best car channel out right now!!!

[@robpoitras6812]

Great video. I *love* cf bucket seats and the whole concept about them. However I wanted something easily driveable in LA when going to coffee, the store and misc trips. Plus something friendlys for Bay Area, tahoe, Mammoth, Palm Springs road trips. I figure I can always get a recaro or OEM GT seat from my Porsche dealership. I Overall spec'd my car with: -GT Silver -No Sport Chrono wart on dash (default option) -Heated and vented seats for hot LA days -LCA -PLDS -Side sticker and rear logo delete

[@YuriTereshyn]

Rob Poitras send pics!

[@crashbomber]

OK, That "Memory Seats" bit is pretty much the best idea for cars that dont have that. Thanks guys!

[@IvanBosnjak89]

Christ, I'm so jealous. My dream cars! I had the pleasure of driving a 991.2 Carrera 2S not long ago and it was an absolute BLAST. Most fun I've ever had. And great video as always guys!

[@chadfoust6942]

My new favorite car from my favorite car reviewers!

[@security_threat]

I agree with everything except for 1 thing: PDK. After driving manual sports cars for my entire life, I experienced PDK for the first time and I am blown away! The 7-speed is ok but it's nowhere near like a Honda shifter (S2000) but better than most BMW's that I have driven. If the manuals weren't near extinction I feel most people shouldn't choose them.

[@mikeculp92]

When I see a Porsche video it's always a good day (or AMG)

[@_Thomas_Clarke]

When Yuri put the seat forward and said “memory seats” 😂

[@jkfuel]

I love the LWB seats. Proper way to get out: put your left hand on the door sill, rotate your body 90 degrees and swing your legs over, place your right hand on the door sill and push up/ stand up. Good luck!

[@AdrianMichalski27]

Man I love these comparisons, also keep up the live streams!

[@shaimhasan9472]

Yesssssss they said it twice “I’m Yuri I’m Jacub and we’re going for a drive ” These videos are so good, makes me feel like I’m driving the cars while I watch it.

I bought a 911T pdk silver comfort seats. Love it. More than love it. I adore it.

The Manual trans is the way to go! I used to have a 914/4, back in the 90's and it was awesome. Thanks.

[@jimduyck]

The bumblebee look with the yellow on gray wheels... 👌

[@gtguy123]

Please tell Porsche that you guys deserves a commission. I've been torn between an M3 or a 911 for a long time as my next mid-life crisis sport car. You guys has definitely convinced me to lean towards the Porsche. Also thumbs up for the ghetto memory seat.

[@YuriTereshyn]

gtguy123 if I had to chose I’d go 911 as well. In green. But the m3 was very wicked as well. VERY wicked

[@maxmartz4665]

Had same dilemma with M2 and Boxster. I know different cars and went mid engine with drop top.

[@revnto7k]

Yay for purist versions. I love the manual trans. People who really enjoy driving definitely want to see them stick around. Thumbs up!

[@Heyitscristian]

The memory seats You guys are the freaking best

[@eganfo]

Hooray, I love these simultaneous reviews of both cars from two perspectives.

[@2010challengerRT]

Even though I can't afford one, I really respect Porsche. No matter how much technology and innovation they put into their models, it's apparent that they'll never lose sight of real driving enjoyment. Also, manual for me.

[@mikesgt3rs]

You guys are the best, love the 1-2-3 pedal display lol!

[@crazzyzack]

From a collectors point of view I’d get a carrera T with a manual. Primarily because in the future they will end up selling for more.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yep

[@R3LF13]

Then you should also spec sport crono and carbon ceramics...at least according to every Porsche sales guy.

[@josephcarastro4318]

Going for the lightness. Ceramic brakes, Std. seats but rear seats/belts are gone, working on package shelf. Lightweight battery and lightweight exhaust on the way. ECU tune to 475 HP.

[@ten2055]

2019 Carrera T with manual transmission and Sport Chrono: the best driving car on public roads even while staying close to legal speeds. First 4600 miles of driving (since new): 28.2 MPG

I have a Carrera T and the standard seats are sooooo comfortable. Getting in and out of the carbon seats is the human equivalent of origami. Great video btw :)

[@alexioflexio8818]

the way we get out of the light weight buckets, is to put your hand on the door sill, and the other on the center armrest, and you can easily get in and out of the seats. you guys should talk to some owners.

[@TheStraightPipes]

All about the memory seats

[@nzsavagenz]

Just subscribed to your channel, You seem like the kind of guys that like getting your facts straight.... the rear heater button (as you called it) that you said does nothing, actually turns on the heated mirrors,,,,, also Sport Chrono can be set up in the individual main menu on the touch screen you you can start stop etc with out using the steering wheel button, Nice fun video, love to see one with one of you is a 718 S and one in a 718 GTS

[@TheStraightPipes]

The rear defrost button is shaped like the rear window. The side mirror defrosters would naturally come on at the same time in a car equipped with rear defroster glass. So that makes sense

[@tjwreds1]

At the risk of haters, I don't care for the pop pop pop. I laughed out loud at "memory seats".

[@Closertotruth2]

Great review, long live the manuals. I have a Spyder manual, 991.2 GTS manual and GT3 Touring coming. Much more fun to drive than PDK. Not as quick but who cares off the track.

[@crypto_que]

I rented an X3M as a free upgrade & trust, infotainment is a must now, you never know when a good distraction may be needed. The infotainment system didn't work in the car & my long long trip in the ultimate driving machine, was lackluster. The songs popping up in the gage is awesome, no wasted glances away from the wheel.

[@wuandy1]

this was one of your best videos, definitely deserves more views!

Liked before the video even started. TSP are *that* good.

[@superdukerandy]

Great review between the two. sounds like I chose wisely in my order. Although I disagree about the race shells as I ordered the sport pinstriped seats. So much better for DD and the 98% of the time it won't be on the track. Keep those fixed seats in the GT cars, they're wasted in the true intent of this model. Alcantara sucks as well. GAWD I CANT WAIT TO GET MY CAR. Zuffenhausen delivery in Sept...

You'll love it. Congrats
