Just bought one and cannot wait anymore to pick it up next week 😋 a 991 carrera 4

WOW.. another amazing review. You def have style and I love the way you make these! Very professionally done! Keep it up.

Excellent reviews. I had a 991.2 but I have swapped it with the 1st gen 991 Carrera due to the naturally aspirated engine. You have spoken some legendary words " after driving this car every other car feels like a compromise". You have encapsulated over 5 decades of motoring perfection in 11 words. Well done

I’ve watched it several times, and it has held up very well. One of the best car reviews ever, Guido.

Good job! I specially like the beginning with the falling leaves. Keep up your great work in 2014!

Awesome new review Guido!

I own this base 991 911 and dig it. I have 20's w/PDK, just a perfect ride for daily driving and getting on it. Listen, unless you're made of money the base Carrera is more than adequate (especially in LA).

Brilliant review, Guido! Simply the best around.

Excellent review as always Guido!

You tell it like it is.Really enjoy your reviews.

Great review, i really like your videos. Continue like that

With every video, you get better and better AND BETTER! Keep up the good work.

Great review as always

Your reviews have the best quality outside of the U.K...I really enjoy these. I wish you could post a 5 minute+ video of driving with the camera mounted in between the seats like at 2:31 in this video. I would watch it again and again almost every day.

Long time with out yuour videos. Nice to have you back.Keep up the good work!

I really enjoy your reviews. A shame the season has come to an end. Looking forward to watching your vids next year again. Take care. Cheers from Karlsruhe.

Great video as always! looking forward to more porsche videos.

Great work from Chile Guido. See you next season

Excellent review. Your car reviews do have their own personality - probably the best on KZread. I'm always surprised how you capture the real feeling in the car, its sounds, its vibrations - overall atmosphere. Really THE proper reviews for a petrolhead. Man, keep up your work - the world's watching you!

Thank you so much Alex ! Very happy you enjoy my videos. I'm already working on a new one that I want to upload after the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas ! Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer

Excellent review Guido! You made many helpful comments. I think that the base car would be more fun for me, especially since I like to wind out a motor. Interesting comment about the car being more socially acceptable. Even here in America, 911s are sleepers, not for people that want to be flashy, and I'm growing to appreciate that quality of the 911 more. Would you choose the PDK or manual if you were ordering a standard Carrera? I really want to review one of these, or better yet, own one!

Absolutely stunning video. Amazing cinematography, a beautiful car, and amazing host. Thanks for the upload.

Thank you my friend ! The nature was beautiful and very inspiring for the videography work :) Greetings, Guido

Great video again Guido. And indeed a very beautiful color. No pictures or video can show the color to its full justice though. One needs to see this in person.

Great review! I love your direct honest reviews. Getting my 14' 911 Turbo S in 2 weeks -- woo hoo!

Richtig klasse Aufnahmen dieses Mal, mit der passenden Musik ... einfach herrlich :) Was Du gesagt hast, habe ich in meinen 2 Tagen irgendwie auch gemerkt. Man wird mit dem Auto voll akzeptiert, die Leute halten an und wollen darüber reden, interessieren sich richtig für das Auto. Bin jetzt zwar außer dem 991 noch keinen anderen Sportwagen gefahren (zum vergleichen), aber der Porsche kam zumindest für mich überall echt gut an :)

Thanks, Nathan ! Glad you enjoyed the video !

Fantastic review. Very straight and true opinions also very practical. I like it so much. Base Carrera 991.1 is my target for now. I would like to buy it and feel what you descriibed. Thank you and good luck best Arek

Thank you ! I will start the new season early next year. In the winter time there aren't as many testcars, so I will take a break until I can get new and exciting cars for you guys to review. Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer

Thanks Jason ! Glad you like the video and especially the cinematography. That means alot to me. Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer

I've mentioned it in many other reviews, but you are right :) Greetings, TheGetawayer

Bravo! Sure you are a special reviewer!! Keep it up!

I really enjoyed this review, as comprehensive video reviews of the base Carrera are hard to find. I just purchased a CPO version very similar to your test car in this video. 2014 Carrera in Mahogany Metallic with Luxor Beige interior, PDK, Sport Exhaust, Sport Chrono, Premium Pkg, Bose, and 20 in S wheels. It's a thing of beauty, and the color is very rare and always evokes stares and thumbs up from other motorists. For a daily driver here in the States, anything more than the base 3.4 is unnecessary, because unless you are tracking your car you can never really push these vehicles the way they are intended to be driven and still retain your drivers license. As a long time BMW M car owner, I have to say that this car is on another level. Thanks for showing the base model a little love.

You provide the best video reviews available and I love your accent. Since you are an enthusiast who really knows your cars, I'd like to see you compare a 911 Carrera 3.8 PDK with a McClaren MP4-12C since these are the only two sports cars I've Hearn reviews say you could use as a daily driver.

Wieder mal ein tolles Video Guido.. Weiter so... Habe mal ne Frage... Könntest du im nächsten Jahr nichtmal ein Video über den neuen A45 AMG machen, vorausgesetzt du bekommst das Fahrzeug? Meiner Meinung nach ein absolut faszinierendes Fahrzeug was AMG da gebaut hat.. Würde mich sehr freuen..

Guido, camera work in this particular video is phenomenal! Only thing that I would recommend is to buy external mic that attaches on your shirt so you can get much more realistic (acoustic) audio. Other than that, I think you are becoming one of best (honest) reviewers on KZread (seems that Porsche recognized that).

Thanks, Toni !

Excellent Video! I love the 911! I LOVE my Carrara 991S

Brilliant review once again, probably the best this far, even when the car wasnt the most exciting version. Colors of the autumn gives good atmosphere =) Beginning of october when i visited this region (thanks to your advice) autumn wasnt yet blooming so, now im slightly dissapointed that i didint delay it for few weeks =) but i must say from my own experience, roads were damn slippery with leafs+rain ;P

Thanks for the great review. I went with the 911 Carrera Coupe with PDK, Chrono Sports, Sports Exhaust, 20 inch wheels and sunroof. Really looking for June to get here!

Very good review with some very nice pictures. I really enjoyed it. If you had the choice between a normal Carrera (without S) or a Cayman S which one would you choose? Greetings

I agree. My personal favourite would be a manual C4S at the moment. Not because of the AWD, but because I love the look of the rear with the wider wheelarches. Greetings, Guido

Great job!!! Very nice work of movie director!

I just bought this car (3.4L) with PDK. I have it zero optioned like this one. The only difference I got the 20" wheels and didn't get the Sport Chrono. Your video makes me look forward to getting it even more. Mine arrives in June. Thanks for another excellent review.

Thank you Suzanne ! Glad you like the video...Yes the mahogany metallic is stunning. No lense I used could really pic it up. It's absolutly beautiful...Have you considered it ?

Thanks Matt ! Really appreciate your feedback...You should really drive one. I think it deserves to be called the best driver's car in the world...My favourite car would be a Carrera 4S with manual. The PDK is amazing. Absolutly amazing. I can't say anything bad about it...But I enjoy the 7 speed manual even more, especially with the Chrono Package and the auto rev-matching...Drive it ! I really want to see you driving more Porsches :) Greetings, Guido

Herr, Getawayer, thanks for another direct , to the point, no nonsense review; very German. Been watching your videos for a while and, in comparison to other peoples car posts, reviews etc, i prefer these. Can you tell me, if i were to order a new 911, today, with custom options (nothing crazy), what would the waiting period be? i'm envious if this is your job; if its a hobby, i wish i was lucky enough to be able to do it. auf wiederseen.

Thanks buddy ! I was lucky with the weather, but also had some rain...Considering the road conditions I still drove pretty hard and enjoyed the car. Once again proofed to me that you don't really need AWD in a Carrera. Greetings, Guido

Thanks Emil ! Will do :) Greetings, Guido

Great review! I always enjoy your reviews. Did you like the colour because it is discrete or because of Female interest?

Thanks Louis ! That's a very nice comment. Thank you...Greetings from germany, Guido

I really think your Porsche reviews are great! They are the best out there! If you had to choose, how would you feel about a 991 c4s with sport suspension, chrono, sports exhaust, 18 way seats, and a 7-speed manual among other things?

Thanks. I've watched all your 911 videos several times and there were very helpful in making decisions. Here is the complete option list for a 2015 991 911 C4S coupe: 7-speed manual, rhodium silver/black interior, platinum silk gloss wheels, 18 way adaptive sport seats, premium plus package, Bose audio, park assist (front/rear), sport design mirrors, solid sun roof, PASM sport suspension, sport chrono package, sport exhaust, gauges and chrono clock face in white, sport steering wheel. I am from Canada, so here is the best part--- Euro delivery at Zuffenhausen in September! Thank you again for your reviews and comments. They were very helpful in making all the choices. My favourite comment was when you were raving about the auto-rev matched downshifts in the 7-speed manual with chrono! (C4 manual transmission review). I wasn't sure I liked the idea of the car heel-and-toeing for me, but now I'm really looking forward to it. No PDK for me!!!!

Great review! Any Audi reviews coming?

You are my new favorite car journalist. Love the cinematography and the way you review the cars. I hope you get your hands behind the wheels of all the new sports cars this year. I'd really like for you to review the new corvette but I think at the moment, there's hardly any c7s in Europe for journalists to test drive. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it compared to the 911/s because its been note resting to see what other reviewers in Europe have said about it. Some didn't like it as much like chris Harris (but he had the auto) some really liked it (top gear mag) I'm probably not going to get a lot of love with this comment because this is a video for a porsche not vette but I jmainly just wanted to say how much I appreciate this chanel. So seldom do we see reviews with not tons of options. I'd be interested to know if you think people buying the base carrera are enthusiasts more over the people buying the 911 s with the options. It would seem to me people who jave the money for the base could easily get the more powerful s.

Thank you so much for the postive feedback ! I really do appreciate it ! Sadly Chevrolet Germany and Europe never answer my emails. I tried to get a Corvette, but it seems like they are not interested in working with me, just like BMW btw...It's hard to say which people buy the base. I know two viewers with base Carreras and they are both hardcore drivers, but they picked the base so they had more money for PASM, PTV, PSE and other options...Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer

You made some very good points. I agree that the 911 is the most socially accepted sports car - that is due to it's understated styling similar to Audi. I also agree that after driving a 911 everything seems like a compromise... Even more expensive supercars feel like they are "trying too hard" and thus a compromise. They are a perfect balance of form and function and styling. Lovely brand!

Spot on ! Most of my videos are filmed around the Fischbachtal :)

I Love My 2013 911 4S Cabriolet With Sport Chrono, White on Carrera Red Interior, Torque Vectoring, Bose Premium Sound, Full Leather Interior, 20" Sport Wheels and PDK with PASM Suspension, and Sports Steering Wheel.

another perfect review, thank you for your effort, which better driving experience 991 S or Audi R8 V8 ?

I would prefer the "base"-modell too - 30 Years ago, I had my first 911, a 1966 A-Series with 130 Horses. And also this was NOT a slow car. Personal experience is more important than 0 to 60 times. Btw good review - (love the 911, although today I drive italian style...)

what kind of 911 do you own mr. Getawayer? love your videos, , i wanted to get a cayman S, but because of kids i'm seeing 991 carrera 2's for under 65K, not too bad, which car did you prefer driving the 991 C2 or the cayman S ?

Thanks, Tiny ! :)

No Foolin I don’t know about a new 911 turbo they are crazy fast. I just got my first perfect 8 year old 911S and I’m very excited it’s way more power than my old base Boxster. This 911 is everything I thought it would be and I’ve been waiting 30 years to get it. I blame it on my neighbors 1979 targa it got me dreaming!

Nice review! You are certainly my go to guy for Porche reviews. Who do you phone at Porche for loan cars? Do you just call them and say "hey look I have a nice following on KZread and people listen to what I gave to say. May I have a loan 991 carrera please?"

Tolles Video! Es ist sehr ungewöhnlich, dass man tatsächlich mal ein Video findet, welches sich dem 991 Carrera in der Basis widmet. Dazu auch noch mit der "normalen" Abgasanlage. Große Klasse! Einen Kritikpunkt habe ich allerdings, obwohl, Kritikpunkt ist falsch, nennen wir es mal eher Anmerkung. :P Da scheinbar niemand außer dir in der Lage ist mal über den Tellerrand zu schauen und sich dem 991 Carrera ohne "S" annimmt, wäre für mich persönlich mal ein kleiner Soundclip der Standartabgasanlage beim Carrera interessant. Existiert aus diesem Video ein derartiger Clip?

Danke für das Kompliment ! Ich hatte Porsche relativ kurzfristig um einen weiteren 911er Testwagen gebeten und habe dann diesen normalen Carrera bekommen. Eine Aufnahme im Standgas oder direkt vom Auspuff während der Fahrt, habe ich leider nicht gefilmt. Mir war der Sound wirklich zu dünn, muss ich sagen. Selbst im Sport Modus. Das Geld für den Sportauspuff ist sehr gut investiert, wenn Du zum Vergleich mal mein Carrera 4 Video anschaust, wo der Testwagen diese Anlage hatte : ' 2013 Porsche 911 (991) Carrera 4/4S ( Manual ) ' Test Drive & Review - TheGetawayer Es sieht nach viel Geld aus, ich weiß, aber emotional gewinnt das Fahrerlebnis ganz gewaltig aus meiner Sicht...Vielleicht schaust Du mal meine Videos zum Boxster S und Cayman S an, die beide auch keinen Sportauspuff hatten und auch etwas dünner klingen.

Good review of this Porsche, though I wish you played around more with the PDK paddles to showcase more of how it functioned, in sync with the 911's character!

While watching this I realized how we value extras in cars. A car is seen as being of good value when it has all those added luxuries for a fair price...but do you really buy a car for its luxuries...no a car of good value is a car that is so good that the experience of driving it and of seeing others enjoy it, has no fair price...What would the world be without Porsche. Thanks Guido for putting me in the position of having an epiphany.

The base 911 with the Bose & sport chrono package....that's all I need and will save a ton of money compared to a S but, I would rather have the carrera S. good review and POV.

Love these reviews. Do you have any recommendation how to decide on which model is best? I was thinking of a BMW 6 series GC and them somehow ended up with 911 testdrives last month. I love everything about the car, but find it really difficult to create a logic for myself. I am torn between an "entry budget" 911, a M4 or maybe still a 6 GC. Any tipps?

As much as I love BMWs, I'm just a Porsche 911-fanatic and think there's no car from bavaria that will match its unique driving experience. Also the 911 keeps its value better than a BMW which is a good argument. If you're not concerned about limit space for your luggage, the 911 would always be my first choice. Always :) Greetings, Guido / TheGetawayer

Hi Thegetawayer, great review, I have a simple question would like to ask you. 981 boxster S or 991.1 base carrera which one drives better in your opinion and experience, thanks
