The 991.2 is still the best modern 911 you can buy over the 992. The build quality, design, and higher quality materials are better in the 991.2 than a similar spec 992. I sold my 992 and went back to a 991.2 and that is saying a lot.

Love my 2019 991.2 4 gts coupe! No plans to change. Perfect fit for my tastes!!!

The engineering and design in Stuttgart is something to praise really , how is it that they can keen upgrading such a rounded car . Incredible !

Another great review. A perfect combination of useful facts and informed opinion. Once again, Thomas demonstrates how a KZread car review should be done.

I have been looking forward to this review since you told me about it :P I love the 4S, especially the cabriolet, and I think this generation of 911s look amazing. You can definitely tell it's turbocharged from the sound, especially on the drive by's. However the biggest put off, just like every Porsche ever made, is the options list. Like you said, a 130,000 euro car not having a rear view camera is ridiculous, and I remember when my grandparents were getting theirs specked up, Porsche wanted a few thousand pounds for red stitching in the seats back in 2007! However other than that, they are great cars and so was this review :P

Great review Thomas ! As a Porsche ( and Autogefuhl fanatic ! ) , I was excited to hear your impression of the new turbo charged engine. Sounds like lots of torque wherever and whenever you want it. Still curious if you detected any turbo lag , however. Love the new infotainment display. Looks sleek and modern. Having owned 3 Porsches , currently a Cayman GTS and a Macan S, I can say that driving these vehicles is the highlight of my day. Perhaps there is a Carrera S cabrio in my future now ! Keep the amazing reviews coming !

A very objective and well rounded review Thomas. Well done. It's far from the first one I've read but the first I'll comment on. Some comments in response to your questions and a few other points :- - The Spyder wheels do look good but are a bit too "busy" and would be a pain to clean; I prefer to the standard Carrera S wheels, the optional satin platinum finish would be a good match for this yellow Cab. - Yes I like the Sport Design wing mirrors too, probably an option I would tick even though they are £365 in the UK - 03:54 I might have misunderstood you, but unless you select the sports exhaust option, the exhausts are not central; they are at the outside, left and right similar to the 991.1. The standard Carrera and CS are slightly different but neither are central. - 17:40 PDCC is more than damper setting; it's an active system that keeps the car flatter while cornering. Standard on the Turbo S, optional now on the Carrera S. I'd be interested to hear if you felt any difference on the road. I've tried it on the track and it works well, but not sure if road speeds would justify the high cost, as it has to be ordered with the rear axle steering. - Throttle Blipping comes with the Sport Chrono Pack; nice feature for sure but must be relatively low cost to Porsche - it should be standard in my opinion, or at least a low cost option outside of the SC package. As for the yellow, it would not be my choice but I have to say it sort of works and I like the matching seat belts. Ignoring the infotainment systems, for pure driving pleasure, how does this 991.2 compare with the white Carrera GTS convertible you tested last year I think; which one would you choose for a Sunday afternoon blast? Regards.

"silently and comfortably" are not words I would like to connect with a Porsche 911 ;) Apart from I would prefer coupe instead, everything looks awesome on this car but sound. The N/A sound was so much better!

@zaphod2 Please check your google+ message settings, cant directly respond! Answer here: If you drive at same performance output, the new engine consumes less. But that wont happen. More power means more consumption, and you will drive that car at higher performance even if you dont intend to :) Rear axle: no not in this very car

I think when it comes to sound, enthusiasts still want to hear the engine. In a perfect world, the comfort setting in this car would be as it is but it would in the 'wild' setting would become nice and loud (which I guess this car accomplishes). A setting in between wouldn't hurt either. Personally, I don't feel the loud setting in a lot of these cars with adjustable exhaust modes is loud enough.

Thank you, Thomas, for another excellent review. And it looks great in yellow, but, like you, I prefer a car in blue.

Tomas, very nice review. If I could just suggest some small improvements: 1. We say "what it will look like" not "how..." 2. Nobody says AWD as individual letters because it is actually longer than saying "all wheel drive", 3. You say "litre" as "litter" - it should be as if it was written "leeter". Good luck with your next reviews, I'm waiting for the Giulia:)

Looks so much better with the roof up.....

How is the Turbo consuming more ? I know it can consume more than a n/a engine, but when you don`t drive too hard it should be more efficient. Concerning the color, nice to see it in the review, but i wouldn`t want to look at yellow daily if it was my car. Also, did the test car have rear axle steering ?

I think it's a bit weird to write 4/4 and 2/4 on the fuel gauge. 0, 1/2 and 1 would be maybe better?

The center exhaust is an option on the Carerra, Carerra S and even the Carerra 4S. It SHOULD be standard but in the tradition of Porsche charging you for everything, it is not, sadly. :-)

Just a correction on minute 3:52 to 3:59. The Exhaust is centered ONLY in the cars that have PSE. You can have a S without PSE and the exhaust would be located on the sides not in the center. Regards.

No problem! By the way, during the video you said the car was a little quiter (which is normal since it´s turbocharged) but with the PSE Activated it really makes a diference. DId you had the PSE activated (by pressing the the button)? For some stupid reason, Porsche decided that you have to toutch the button so that the PSE is active. Everytime you turn off the ignition, so does the PSE. Regards. Glad i could help.

I've always thought the rear seat area should be modified to eliminate the seats and provide additional storage instead. I'm surprised over time that Porsche hasn't done this; they're absolutely useless as seats. On a different note, it looks like you're in Leipzig, Germany!
