Got to agree. Nice 911 is and always will be a goal. Base model will be achievable and it's nice to see they're still so good. Macan GTS first though...

IMO the base 911 is the way to go - give me the upgraded audio and sport chrono, and that's all I need - the simplest possible 911 with the stuff I need for daily driving and it's a recipe for pure happiness.

My dream car, youre a lucky man Topher! keep up the good work

Incredible car!! This is what you get once you've made it in life. Fantastic!!

Thanks for this review of the base model!

As someone who currently drives manual, I would absolutely take the PDK over the 7-speed manual version. After having driven the GT3 with a 6 speed, the 7 speed in the Carreras felt underwhelming. Additionally, the PDK simply fits this car better for daily usage anyway.

@amac8487

Жыл бұрын

Agree. I love manuals, and most all my sports cars have been manuals. The PDK in these cars is innnnsane. I have PDK on my cayman gts and my 992, and I don’t miss manual at all. I think if I went legit any other car that didn’t have dual clutch, I’d go manual.

I loved the sound system test in this video! I think you should do it in more videos, if it's not to much hassle

You are filming by far the best videos, buddy! Keep it up!

Made my day 😁 Today i was just watching 911 videos and i Wanted to know more about base 911 and See your Video notification :))))

The base 992 is obviously well worth while. Plenty of performance, plenty of fun. A shame you can’t get it with the manual box. There is the option of a Carrera T which has more rawness but is less practical. But this is nick-picking. A lovely sports car this base 911.

Great review. Very thorough. 👍

This car is beautiful! That engine sound is awesome!

Covered all the goodness! Def seems like the Swiss Army knife of sports cars. Too bad their prices are ridiculous, hopefully things level out here in the next few years.

excellent videos. nice easy going style of commenting. hope your channel does really well.

I love your videos 👏👏👏

A+ on the chime!!!

1st...less goo!!! keep posting bangers like this topher

Interesting. I just watched this video review and the one for the 718 GTS 4.0 and you were a lot more excited after driving the 718 than the 911. This is additional confirmation proving that the Cayman/Boxster platform is more fun to drive.

I really enjoyed this, would love to own this car

114,000 base right now, which is basically the same as a max spec before

Just got my 2023 911 T it is sublime to drive

For me the Carrera T would be the pick of the bunch, the extra over the base just for the diff would make it worth it.

Topher, how would you compare this to the GTS 4.0 you had driven? In that video - you mentioned you would make the comparison when you had the chance to drive both. Last question please. PDK vs Manual in the GTS4.0? I was surprised to see you not be a die-hard manual-only fan, and even hinted that you may get it in PDK if you had to get one.

I just love dark blue on 911s

The start up chime reminds me of one of the songs from Barry White idk which one Can’t get enough of you or never gonna give you up no clue

I just traded my C8 and bought a 2020 base Carrera in Lava Orange and the car is amazing . The 911 is better in every way ( interior comfort, fit and finish , iconic looks and heritage ) . The C8 is a little faster from 0-60, but the stock Carrera with the PDK is close . But that's ok , because how often do I drive at 10/10ths from a stop light ? This is my first Porsche , but definitely not my last .

Highly optioned base. Right on

Thank You

How does the non-AWD 911 behave in winter conditions such as coming to a stop on a hill? I once got stuck on a public road with my front wheel drive Golf this way, cause if you come to a complete stop on a snowy hill with front wheel drive, as soon as you try to go again the weight shifts immediately to the rear causing loss of traction at the front. I wonder if this is even problematic at all on the 911 since the weight of the engine in the back supports the drive axle and the snowy hill would be the only critical situation where I live. Or does it not matter and the 911 would only have slightly better performance compared to the fwd on the snowy hill?

Dream car!

In the next 20years curious to know how well maintained these cars will be on the road cos that’s when I’ll be able to afford one 😂😂😂😂

This is my #1 dream car, mostly people want lambo, or ferrari. but i like simple and Porsche makes that very well, and for a good price. Soon ill be driving one. and i hope Everyone get there dream car :D

i've loved porsche since my kid self watched tom cruise drive one into lake michigan in risky business.

Beautiful car! Like my old 1994 Mercedes C280 W202 I had like a G long ago!

4 years ago I chose the LC 500 over this vehicle, no regrets whatsoever, my lease just ended I'm now getting one of these, I'm just hoping I'm going to love it as much

I like it but I wish Porsche would offer a leather free option on the 911 like they do with the Taycan.

This is the perfect car for a short term lease.

id spend a little more for the Carrera S - more power yes but also more features, better brakes, suspension, etc. Definitely a dream car! EDIT - since the prices have gone up on 911s im not so sure about the S. its approaching 150k with basic options so the bare bones base car is still a good buy

As someone who owns a 992 4S, that door rattle you mentioned happens to me too. It comes from the Bose speaker cover. I’m not sure if it’s *just* with the Bose speaker system or if it’s in conjunction with the standard interior, but it’s quite annoying at low speeds

Great review, serial 911 owner and the rattles are a thing unfortunately. Roads are terrible around me though😊 Still love the 911.

Maybe we could get content where we see how usable these are on daily basis like how much does it fit as far as groceries and other items you might buy on during use. Hopefully you see this comment.

Gotta say for 101k, the squeaks and rattles are a no go

You hadn't even showed us the PDK all you've showed us is an automatic with launch control. We won't see it being driven in manual. Not to mention I would like to know what's going to happen if you hold the shifter in period will the engine free rev??? In other words can you make it sound like a manual transmission?? When you hold the right PDK shifter in Will it let the rpms fall if you let off the gas ??? Will it free rev during shifts??

I have a c4s but I'm still curious about getting a GT3 or Turbo simply because they exist lol... they all squeak and rattle I've learned. But for that badge we'll still buy them.

Always love the styling of 911, but I wouldn't buy one without a naturally aspirated engine. Just drove the LC500, that thing's build quality is the best I've ever experience in a car, so I don't think I'll pay more for a turbo-charged 911.

Your only option is the GT3 then.

These are always nice cars even in base mode, though I can tell you don't have quite the grip you get with the models that have PTV (not available on the base). The new 2024 base price is $114k, no additional equipment compared to earlier models. I guess the 992.2 will be a 2025 model. Saw a 2020 CPO (fairly basic spec, had premium package, all black with black S wheels) for $125k, other CPO base models had sport exhaust, 18-way seats, premium interior leather, and were well over $135k. Really not much of a difference to get a new one if you can get an allocation. I just got a June allocation for a 911 T with manual (interestingly only had a 4-5 week wait, but I've bought 3 non-911 Porsches from the same SA since 2008), unfortunately it's at the new price, meaning I may forego the PEC ATL delivery and maybe one or two options to keep the car under $130k.

Watching this while configuring my '24 Carrera T and wearing a 3861 Speedy sapphire sandwich...

I think this would probably my pick if I would buy a new 911. You don't need a Carrera S, the base Carrera is good enough! Power and handling is more than adequate! Not to mention the cheapest of course.

Very random but do you have a review on the Toyota crown coming soon??

If you're looking for 6-cylinder Porsche, would you go for 718 GTS or 992 Carrera for $16K more?

Base car is fast enough for the street. If you get the Michelin tyres it's pretty quiet for a car of this statue. 👍 Excellent.

Hi Topher, would you choose a C8 or Base 911?

Cool car. However having paid sticker for my C8 Z51 and a little over half the price of the P car, I struggle to see the value. Do I like the 911, of course…and plan on getting a used older one with stick to have a stick car. Have had Ferrari, Viper, Vettes, Shelby Mustngs, etc.. The C8 for the money does everything very well, and has a amazing ride. the 911 is a very good “car” that is daily useable and you can travel with them., like all Vettes and the C8.

What is the name of the music track that you use for sound testing???

Sport response mode is when you discover a BMW is trying to overtake you on the Autobahn.

That shifter

What are the other “more exciting and faster cars” at that price point?

Is there a CO2 detector for rear passengers? The rear seats look good for kids, but I don't want them to die

My eyes keep drifting to the speedy
