My dad could never afford a car, and the first and only bike he bought me was a second hand red bmx with red and yellow padding, at the flee market, which to me was a like an exotic sports car back then and I would look after like that. Good memories.

I think this is the prettiest 911. It’s simple and sleek, even elegant. Finally, I think it still looks contemporary.
"But with the big anti-lock equipped disk hauling it smoothly down from 60 and an average of 103 ft, Who cares!" -John Davis 1995
If you watch all of MW’s 911 videos in order they all say “until the advent of the current 911, all previous models exhibited a tendency to snap oversteer…”
Waiting for some guy to comment how his new Camry is faster.
22mpg average is quite nice For a car in this class especially for the time

This is what comes to mind when I think of Porsche. Love these.
The pinnacle of old and new. Wonder why 993s are so valuable?! Look no further! You don't need the Turbo!
This was and still is my favorite 911, the low slung tail, the gorgeous wheels, that cute yet common face. In '95 my heart used to melt when I saw one of these, especially in red or silver, while I was driving my '76 car, which it self was a rare 'muscle' car.

What car was it?
The 993 was the car I lusted for in High School. I was watching prices throughout the early 2000’s waiting for them to depreciate into my $30k range. They got down to the low 40’s around the 2008 financial crisis and have skyrocketed since. So much for that dream.

Why do you bad mouth Porsch in the first place? Porsch depending on which model your choice from. Maybe depanding which model your choice from can be cheap excepted the 911! The 911 ALWAYS you cost much more than the cheaper models! My Favor Porsch was any of the 928 models and trim line is in my hearts! My late father own Brand New a 1960'sh 356 C hardtop and my uncle had a 365 D more like a racing sport car. I was born in July 1969. All I do rember was it wasn't met to be like a family car. My dad 365 C was Sliver, and My Uncle was Red!

Yeah, in the early 2000s I got a used C5 Corvette convertible, but at the dealer they had some Porches as well, and for the $35k I was spending, if you wanted Porsche, you were getting a slow Boxster that didn't even look good. Had they had a 911 in that range I would have at least given it a look, but even the cheapest used one was in the 40s.
Been watching Motorweek since 1981 and couldn't wait for Saturday to come.
This is my favorite generation of the 911, both because of its design and the fact it had the last air-cooled engine.
I've a 1996 993 C2, iris blue metallic, 60,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny. No CEL, no oil leaks. I'm never gonna sell it!
The 993 C4S was my favorite 993. Beautiful body, just enough power, outstanding brakes, those perfect doors . . . If it’s possible to love a door, then these are marriage material.
LOVE the Porsche 993!💥🔥💥
Still my favorite Porsche to this day.
I'm exactly as old as this car! Lol! Nostalgia!
13.7 @ 105 is STILL fast
Price is the equivalent of 128k in todays money
I love how they make these videos look retro even though they’re brand new!
Ironic that good examples of 964's and 993's are now way more expensive than when they were new.
Nice touch with Kraftwerk Autobahn song. ;)

1995 was the last year of ODB1, then came ODB2 in 1996.
What track was that playing at 4:17? Groovy
Back in the 1990's the 911 was very round and happier comparing the past 911! Today 911 of 2023 is more advents is a whole bunch of safety items and can be a Hybrid or all electoral or who knows in the future it can fly?

That was the last 911 I liked, before it turned into an overweight, and middle-aged GT. But the prior model (964-C4) hit the sweet spot best for me.

I don't notice any issue with solid sound when shutting my door on my car. Maybe it does affect all? I have a very high optioned '03 996 C4 Cab with X51 power package, full carbon fiber interior, sport exhaust, Carrera wing, aero package. Love the car. It's a blast to drive. I don't think I'm missing anything that a 993 would give me, other than resale value. I'm a fan of all 911s though.
it has to be Porsche no compromise every safety futures available by the time was implemented perfect timeless Porsche ever

That styling is what makes it iconic and cool. Have you sat inside a 75’ The 993 is similar though if you sat inside and on 993 you realize it’s more refined and the door cards of excellent quality and design, more modern than the previous generations
The air cooled Porsche’s are a nice blast from the past but almost as fussy and unreliable as the newer versions with things like IMS bearing failures that cost more to fix than the entire car is worth. And much less expensive cars from other countries can embarrass 911’s around even the German Nuremberg Ring. Welcome to “superior” German engineering.
