Crazy to think there goes $40M
Not quite. But several million and it’s incredible. I was fortunate to be able to go for a ride in it later that day for a few laps at speed on Circuit of The Americas. The sound was like nothing else.
What do you think about 997.1 2005 carrera automatic?
First, thanks for watching, subscribing and chiming in. As for your question, do you not want to drive a stick? I will say that the manual is much more engaging for pleasure driving. But for traffic or track use, the PDK is superior. Tiptronic is very reliable but would only be an advantage in stop and go traffic. Having said that, if you are going to buy an automatic anyway, at least you’ll also be able to enjoy driving a 911 instead of something less fun. Let me know what you decide!
@@GTSCarLife thank you for your answer. Unfortunately the one I liked it’s automatic and not manual. I don’t track just for weekend. But it’s not pdk that’s why I’m concerned
@@bilalsabra8127 Tiptronic is slower but very reliable.
One of my favorite vehicles, i hope to own one or have a replica for the track.
Looks so impressive in real life Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts. Go chase your dreams!
Great video... but tell us how you really feel... lol All joking aside , a bit harsh on the 991 ... but I get it , it's a great sweet spot. The raising prices of 997 is putting me off, I feel there should be a few more years of decline for this model, but market doesn't seem to agree so far!!
Thanks for watching. As I started the video with, any 911 is a great car and if there was only one, we would all love it. But the 997 really is the high mark in the history of Porsche’s famous, now 60 year old sports car. And yes, the market agrees which is even more meaningful than my opinion. I now have over 71,000 miles on my 997.2 GTS so obviously I am not driving to preserve my cars value. But I do believe the 997 and especially the 997.2 which is mechanically superior and also was built in significantly lower numbers, will only increase in value from this point. Thanks for subscribing and sharing your thoughts!
Porsche still does a better job than any other brand when it comes to evolution. I like the 997 but think the 991 is a worthy successor. At the end of the day, it is a faster car on the racetrack and that counts for something. I own a 991 and will never sell it.
I’ll take any 911 over the “competitors “. Thanks for watching, subscribing and chiming in with your thoughts!
After owning 11 Porsches including a 930 back in the day and currently a 991.1 3.8 cab I can tell you that the best Porsche I have ever owned is my current 2022 Macon GTS. It is the Swiss Army knife of Porsches. Does everything well.
I ordered a 2015 Macan S loaded with a $75,000 sticker back in March 2014. It was indeed incredible and even embarrassed some respected high end sports cars on track. But I missed the sounds of an engine behind me and I never got past the feeling that the cars abilities were all from electronics wizardry. But yes, very impressive what Porsche can do! Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your experience. Sounds like you are living right!
I love my 996 C4 manual. Couldn’t get into a 997 but this makes me really want to step up to a 997 next. Agreed that it might be the peak of the 911 from a raw sports car before getting to GT car like. Then again can only comment on my own experiences. Nice assessment and video!
Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts. My previous 911 was a 2003 996.2 C2 manual. I loved that car and drove over 95,000 miles. For daily driving the 996 was even more fun because the M96 motor just sounds so good and the chassis feels lighter. Aside from some style and materials upgrades, your 996 is really all we need and definitely a keeper. I will say on track, my GTS is worlds better. And as an instructor , I track often. But if you don’t, the 996 is perfect!
Oneday God willing 🙏
Agreed! A Manuel 997 is the best 911 has down...
Truth. Believe your eyes. And your favorite KZread automotive channel. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your opinion.
I am looking for a gen2 997 manual. What is about going for? Turbo? GTS? C4S? C?
You will love any of them. A “base” 2003 996.2 Carrera manual coupe is still an absolute blast to drive on the street! Let us know which one you get! Thanks for watching, subscribing and chiming in.
Best 911 is of course my own. A 996 3.6 C2 manual, no psm or sunroof. Bone stock except for the Ohlins r/t coilover. It is amazing!🎉
I love the 996 and my 2003 996.2 manual coupe was still the most fun to drive daily! Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts!
Is the upgraded stereo worth getting or is the Bose just fine? I am ordering a Turbo S in cobalt blue with black interior.
If you’re an audiophile then yes, the Burmeister is outstanding. Me, I prefer to listen to the flat 6 revving so Bose is good enough for me. Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts!!!
Really enjoy your very knowledgeable take. I knew nothing and literally stumbled into my 997.1 Turbo. Could not be happier. Thank you for your excellent take on Porsche cars. They truly are something special.😮😮
Thank you for your support and kind words and congratulations on owning and being able to experience one of the truly great cars of all time. She’s a keeper! We’ll have lots more content on the way.
Did you listed this on BaT?
Yes, it is live right now. Ends Friday afternoon. Hate to let her go but we just added another daily and need the garage space. I hope she goes to a great home. I thought maybe someone watching this video would want to buy her.
@@GTSCarLife I just bought one about a month ago. Always liked yours...If I would have known…. The video you did a couple of years ago. Love the sport seats and interior color (same as mine). Good luck with the sale! Best, Dale
@dedwardmalick Thank you Dale. Congratulations on your new 944. They’re very special cars and just never go out of style. She was daily driven for 3 years and 20,000 miles and was fun and reliable. I’m sure you will enjoy the experience! Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting.
I have my Pennie’s saved up and finally can afford one of these 997.2’s. But wow. Nice examples are really difficult to find. Most have been crashed and or have a tan interior or are PDK.
First of all, congratulations on being disciplined and working towards your goal. Few feelings in the world better than setting goals and working hard to achieve them. As for the scarcity of 997.2, yes. Porsche made very few in the first place because the timing coincided with the great global recession. So few made to start and the ones that are for sale often times have been modded or wrecked or both. All very bad for desirability and value. But the sellers know how strong the demand is for them, so they will still ask top dollar. As for interior color, black is so boring but the most desirable choice simply because it wears well and hides blemishes. And yes, PDK was the shiny new toy so more than half of buyers chose it. I have always owned manuals and would never buy an “automatic“ sports car. But when my wife finally allowed me to replace my 2003 996.2 manual with a 997.2 GTS, which I wanted from the moment it was first introduced, I too struggled with finding my perfect example. So I settled for PDK and got most of the other features that mattered to me. I just bought my son a 2011 987.2 S with the 6-speed manual, and driving it has served to remind me how much more fun and involving a manual truly is. But I do spend a lot of time on track and PDK is definitely better on track, so I just enjoy my car and focus on how much I love it. You will find your car. Use AutoTempest, PCA classifieds and use the Porsche pre-owned website DAILY. Best of luck in your search and please let me know when you achieve your goal! I promise you the reality is as good as the dream. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your dream.
Looks cool but engine leaves much to be desired
It was very quick and rated the best handling car in America by Car and Driver when it was new. Today it is still very well built and gives so much pleasure with its quality and beautiful styling. But yes, a Tesla Model 3 will blow it away from a stoplight.
@@GTSCarLifewhy we LS swap em
@@GTSCarLife hey man I love the car it looks great, but It’ll never compare to my 1989 911 turbo I’ve owned my 930 since 09’ been in love ever since ❤️
I’ve seen some nicely done examples. But I’m too much of a purist for that! Can’t imagine a Chevy engine (even the admittedly amazing LS) in a Porsche! 🙈
It also costs a fraction of your 930, and has the same seats! 😂 We just picked up our 7th Porsche 2 weeks ago. It’s fun being able to experience the different versions of these world class sports cars!
if you think that the 991 was bad, then wait until you climb into the new 992.2!
Further and further away from the car that got them the reputation. I do believe the 992 Turbo S is a great grand tourer, which is what the 911 has become. But sports car? No. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts.
A bit biased maybe, but as a past 997.2 C2S owner, I could not agree more!
But really, are you biased, or just well informed? Thanks for watching, subscribing and chiming in!
I think your review is biased, the 991 feels way more modern, even though it is larger than a 997, it still is compact to modern traffic, where the 997 now feels like a small car, akin to a classic, which is not always what you want. The 991 additional dimensions make it far superior in the GT models. I have a 991 GT3 touring and a 997.2 turbo s, I love them both but the 991 GT3 is peak driver experience in my opinion
Thanks for watching. You are entitled to have your opinion. But if you actually think this through, it would make no sense for me to just be biased and what, make an entire channel and do various road tests to what, further a bias? No. I just bought my 7th Porsche last week. I can own whichever cars I determine to be best. I am fortunate that I have the opportunity to drive and ride in some of the finest sports and GT cars in the world, usually on a Formula 1 track, and so from my extensive experience I have drawn certain conclusions. As I stated at the very beginning of this review, the point of this comparison was to compare and find out which 911 delivers the better sports car experience. Sports car. Not track monster. The 911 that delivers the better sports car experience. Because really, that is what the 911 has represented for 60 years now. The epitome of a sports car. Sure, some, including mine, also get tracked and some even race, but foremost a Porsche 911 is designed to provide owners with a traditional sports car experience, rear engine placement and all. And by that measure, the 997 generation is in fact the best 911. And the market agrees. Thanks for subscribing and sharing your view!
I think there is a bias created just by owning and just really liking your 997, and there is nothing wrong with that, but nevertheless a bias develops. I disagree that the 997 is a better sports car experience, maybe a more raw experience, that's for sure, the further you go back the more raw it becomes. The reason why I see a bias is because alot of the comments you made about the 991 vs 997 are opinions but you discuss them as if they are a matter of fact
@shaunonig1979 Sports car feel is subjective. Quoting 0-60 and skid pad numbers does not factor into which model is more true to the original sports car intent. Believe me, if I saw the 991 or 992 as the better sports car, I would have ordered one. I find it interesting that you have the Turbo, the GT cruiser version of the 997 and the GT3, the track weapon of the 991. Cheers.
I agree with you. But the 997 series is just classic. The new models are appealing to an entirely different buyer. IMHO
@davidmaynard3215 Indeed the newer cars have lost favor with sports car buyers and appeal to people who are more focused on buying a lifestyle and being able to tell people they “own a Porsch”. Different cars for a larger and more profitable market.
I would take this over any of the italian supercars that cost 3 to 4 times as much.
On performance and quality alone! Add in reliability and how well a 911 holds its value, and the 992 Turbo S makes a compelling argument that’s hard to ignore. Thank you for watching, subscribing and chiming in with your thoughts!
i THINK THEY SOUND terrible. \ The old air cooled cars sound sooo good!
I always envied the 991 owners that I know, but this review 100% backs my view (albeit a biased one) about the 997. Going forward, I will love and enjoy even more, my 997 4s.
Now and then some viewer (who obviously owns a 991) will accuse me of being “biased” because I own a 997.2. They don’t bother to consider that it’s actually the reverse. I can own any 911 I want. And I’ve driven most of them. I choose to own and keep a 997.2 GTS because in my experience, it is the best 911 for my needs, which is a sports car that feels and drives like a sports car, serves as my daily driver and is also competitive on track. The 991 is not as good when those criteria are considered. And the market clearly agrees. Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your comments and congratulations on your awesome 911!
996 is the only 911 i would NEVER buy..!
So why did you watch this video? Honestly, the 996 is a great 911 to drive. It outperformed the previous generation (993) in every measurable way and is closer to the air cooled originals than any of the models that followed it. Yes, it did have a lower quality interior which was remedied by the 997 of 2005, but if you haven’t owned one you really should spend a weekend driving one. They are fantastic sports cars. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your views.
@@GTSCarLife To answer your question...I was wondering how anyone could seriously consider the 996 being the best 911. Excluding the 996 Turbo and the GT / RS models. They are of very good quality and also have reliable engines. (Engine block from 993..!) The normal Carrera, on the other hand, is purely a budget car and the poor quality is not just limited to the interior. I currently drive, among other things, a 993, 3.8 liter with 300 hp and a 996 Carrera has never left me behind on the highway. I've never seen a normal 996 Carrera on the racetrack. Porsche officially advises against driving these cars on the race track. The reason for this is the (cheap) engine design without dry sump lubrication. The "open deck" design of the normal Carrera engines and the choice of materials for the cylinder coating are purely cost-oriented and the engines cannot be compared in any way with the real ones (Metzger engines). As a driver with a racing license, I regularly drive on the racetracks in Hockenheim and Dijon. Nobody in my area drives a 996 Carrera. The 996 Carrera is a car for posers and not for drivers.
Boring… typical American.
my dream car, honestly I'm not fond of modern 911's and GT2s/GT3/GT4s etc. 997.2 C4GTS would be perfect.
Have you owned a 911 before? The 4wd certainly adds some athletic ability but the 911 was always rear wheel drive and if this will be your first, I’d encourage you to go with rear drive. The experience is special. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts!
Any chance of you reviewing the GR86? Would enjoy hearing your opinion.
Thank you for watching the Supra review! There are many print and KZread automotive reviewers, some, like Chris Harris feature hard core track tests, and others delve into stats and mechanical features. I wanted this channel to reflect what it actually feels like to drive, typically as daily drivers, some of the most exciting cars most people will ever own. I want to share what is actually feels like to live with these cars, on a daily basis. Spending as much time as I do at the track, I see a lot of GR86 models. In fact, I was fortunate enough to ride in a Toyota GR Yaris a year ago, on track at Circuit of The Americas in Austin. The owner had driven the car through the night, from Mexico, to attend a track day I was instructing at. let me tell you, that things was ridiculous! The sheer performance and handling abilities of that car far exceeded anything its looks promised! Anyway, the GR86 is a car I really like. It reminds me of the 944 and Miata, a simple and well balanced sports car that allows drivers to really develop their talents, with a lower risk of getting in over heir heads. If a GR86 appeals to you, I would say go for it! I'm sure you will enjoy, and grow with the car. Thanks for watching and for your question!
@@GTSCarLife You're right the Yaris is a very capable car and a Porsche badge on an 86 would not look out of place, very nice looking car. Might have to get one. Thanks for replying.
@mdrsalgado Agree. Reminds me of a modern day 944. Thanks for your reply, and please let me know if you get one!
@@GTSCarLife I'll let you know.
One of the best, if not the best car comparison video I have ever seen. That was highly enjoyable.
I appreciate your observations a lot. I wanted to do this video 3 years before it launched, and actually worked on it over a period of 2 years. I knew it was a question so many Porsche 911 enthusiasts, and future 911 buyers were curious about, and nobody else had done a comparison like it at the time. While any 911 is an awesome car, there are significant differences between the air cooled models, the 996 and 997 models, and the larger 991 and 992 gens. They are in fact very different machines that appeal to different people for very different reasons. This video set out to determine which of these 2 very popular recent generations was better at filling the traditional role of a sports car. I was very happy with the result and it is clear 9 months after launch that an overwhelming number of 911 enthusiasts feel the same way. Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your feedback!
I am 15 years old and i got a 85.5 944 for my 15th birthday. I drive this on a school permit to high school (i park in the back to not be hit😉), and i love it. It's such a good looking car and i greatly enjoy driving manual.
That is awesome! I bought this 1985.5 944 for my son for his 15th Birthday, and he also drove it daily and to school for 3 years. It is a super reliable car and indeed very special. The 1985.5 was actually the new 1986 model, with the greatly improved interior, windshield embedded antenna and various mechanical upgrades, but Porsche did not have the newly mandatory for 1986 3rd brake light (CHMSL) ready, so early 1986 models were sold as "1985.5", making your car a very rare example of an already special car. Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your story! And welcome to Porsche ownership, you have cool parents!
Thanks for a very detailed explanation. I love my 997 Targa 4S 6sp. for those exact reasons. If I want long-drive comfort, I'll take my Cayenne. I have several other sports cars and always seem to enjoy this one a little bit more. It looks like you might be in DFW. Maybe we will see each other at a PCA MAV event?
We are on the same page. We had a 2016 Cayenne S from mid 2015 until we replaced it with a 2023 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo in January 2023. Those cars are outstanding cross country companions. My 997.2 however is the car I intend to own forever. Yes, I’m in DFW and can also frequently be found at COTA. Weather permitting I’m planning on stopping by Mavs at Mayo this Saturday. If you see me at an event please say hi. Thanks for your support!
Agree 100%, because I have that exact car 2011 997.2 GTS 😊 in white as well.
Carrara White was the GTS Coupe factory Launch Color. Congratulations on owning one of the finest sports cars ever made! What country are you in? Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts!
Cape Town, South Africa, thanks for your channel 🙏 👍
@ianharries9480 South Africans have the coolest accent in the world! Thanks for watching!
This reviewer is so biased to the old and outdated 997 its laughable. I've owned both 997.1 and now a 991.2. The 991 is far and away the better car.
Talk is cheap. Please list all the ways the 991.1 is better than the 997.2. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Excellent comparison vid. I share your perspective on the 991 misses in comparison to the 997.2 gen cars. My 09 C2S launch spec car really captures my expectations of what a true luxury touring sports car should be. I really feel that the 991 is more of a sports car for the masses while the 997.2 the last gen for enthusiasts.
Well said. Thank you for watching, subscribing and adding your thoughts!
997
Thanks for watching, subscribing and voting!
@@GTSCarLife Cool. I have a 2012 Targa 4S. Wish I had the X51 option. Love the 408 hp and the center lock wheels on GTS. Special!
@jimgraves665 Yes, indeed the GTS is special which is what appealed to me when Porsche first announced it. I especially love it being a rear drive wide body. And on track, there is a noticeable difference. But for daily use or canyon carving, the S feels essentially the same. And your Targa is definitely special and rare. Enjoy your Targa 4S. That’s one really special 911 and I promise you aren’t missing anything on the street!
Your son was whipping this at the west parking garage in town square along with a white 5.0 and grey raptor 💀
He needs a track day. Been suffering since he started daily driving a Focus RS, because that thing goes into limp mode after a lap and a half.... Thanks for watching, subscribing and contributing to the conversation.
The 997 is the best 911 generation perfectly situated between the old and the new.

Taking mine out for a wife date tonight👍 there is no other. 04 c4s
Without a doubt. Have a great evening!
What I want to know is how to be a race car passenger.
😂 Where do you live?
LOVE MY 991.1 EVERY DAY DRIVER!!
Can’t complain when your daily driver is a Porsche 911 🏁 Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting!
Own both a 997.2 and 991.1. Used to have a 991.2 which I had for less than a year. 997 does have the most Porsche feel and look but probably will be first to go. 991 is still small and nimble, better for bringing along the kids, has better tech, and looks a little more special (I have the factory sport design package with ducktail). Also sounds epic with Porsche sport exhaust. Pse on the 991.2 sounds terrible. 991 feels more planted than the 997. Steering on mine is pretty damn close to my 997. Steering on the 991.2 was too light and artificial. The 997 has better leather but more creaks inside. 991 at stock height (pasm) sits lower than my lowered 997. So surprisingly feels more sporty inside. 997 feels faster for some reason (maybe the size). Can’t go wrong with either but for a daily driver 991 wins. For nostalgia 997 wins. But to truly get an analog experience you will have to go air cooled as both 997 and 991 feel too modern.
Thanks for watching, subscribing and contributing your experiences. The ducktail option definitely looks fantastic on the 991. I wish Porsche offered it for the 997
Step 1: be rich
Just bought my first Porsche - a low low mileage 2011 911 997.2 Targa 4. Absolutely love it. Feels like I’m driving a performance machine. I test drove one of the new 992 models and I agree - it’s fast, performs great but feels like a video game. Or a spaceship. I don’t feel connected to the road. Didn’t like it at all.
Congratulations! You have an excellent and rare 911. Great choice! Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your story!
I have a 996 c4s. Some tasteful non destructive mods to massage as much power out of the 3.6 as I can. Lately, been feeling like it’s super fuddy duddy driving on the highway with all the new toys flying around. But I wonder if all that new tech and more disconnect mean it’s faster but not more fun. Tesla plaid is just about the fastest damn car out there for the money but don’t see many of them despite the ridiculous speed. Is it because under that speed there’s no soul? After a couple of stomach curdling launches, does that gimmick sorta get old ? My 2004 C4s is not nearly as fast. But I feel some connection to the road when I drive it. I may be searching for something I already have. the turbo level up in the 911 lineup, is it trading character for speed? The 997 is faster than a 996… 991 faster than 997 and so on. Where’s the sweet spot? 997 gts? 997 turbo, turbo s? Hopefully I can find joy in my 996 again, even with getting its doors blown off by anything more modern. The sports car club is such a rat race… feels tempting at times to just go completely opposite and get the smallest, slowest car I can find. Leaving the competition behind altogether. Sports car club, unfortunately means you will always be unsatisfied, because you know out there there is something faster and better and probably cheaper. So what’s the goal of a 911 I ask myself?
Short answer, yes. A sports car - a true sports car, has soul. Tesla does not make a sports car. They make nice electric appliances. A Taycan has soul. Anyone who wants to argue that has clearly not spent any real time driving one. A 911 is all about soul. It’s completely normal to get used to things and people we have - even take them for granted. If you have the ability to stop driving your 996 for a couple weeks and daily something different, you’ll likely remember why the 996 excites you after taking it on your next drive. As for the sweet spot? It’s hard to beat a 996 rear drive, manual transmission coupe for sheer driving enjoyment. For track use mixed in with daily use, a 997.2 GTS is my choice. The main difference on the street is the more refined and higher quality interior. On track, the 997.2 GTS turns significantly better than the 996. But I’d be very happy if I still daily drove my 2003 996.2 manual. They are wonderful cars. I can’t say my 997 is better - but it is nicer inside and it does drive way better on track. If you ever replace your C4S, try the rear wheel drive Carrera. The 911 was intended to be rear engine, rear wheel drive and the driving dynamics and steering feel are different and lighter from the 4. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts.
The 997.2 hands down! This GTS, Porsche got so right!
Thanks, I have to agree! About to roll over 70,000 miles now and she just continues to make me smile. Daily driver, track car and so crazy reliable and well built. Thanks for watching, subscribing and contributing to the conversation!
Less is more with these, just bought almost this exact one.
Currently at 108,000 miles and going strong! I just love how these cars sound and drive! Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing your comments!
I can’t figure out the whole 99# nomenclature. 964 then 993 then 996 then 997 then 991 then 992. There are 2 things I get out of this. A headache and the realization Germans can’t count.
Crazy, right? It makes no sense. But neither does a rear-engined super fast sports car (the actual racing version of the 911 is now fully mid engined!) And yet we still love these things. Thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts!
I’ve watched A LOT of 911 content. Owned a bunch of different eras. This was an excellent apples to very slightly more modern apples comparison. Excellent work. I currently drive an 3.2, but would 100% reacquire a 997 as it’s my top choice for ‘modern’ 911. 997 turbo or any 997.2 for the win, for me. Again, really well composed review (even if you’ve shown your bias with your ownership) Thanks and cheers amigo
Thanks for watching, subscribing and contributing your comments. I do find it funny when some people claim I am "biased" because I have one. The truth is I can afford any 911 I want. I owned a different 911 when Porsche announced the final version of the street 997. I was at the North American launch party for the car. I chose the 997.2 GTS because it was the most compelling, most perfect 911 Porsche made in my opinion, and I knew that with the impending launch of the new, larger 991 version, Porsche would never again build something as special as the 997.2 GTS. It was the one model where they threw everything they had - Power Kit, Center Lock Wheels, Wide Body RWD, enhanced styling front, rear and side (GT2 RS side skirts) into one, final and ultimate street version. The same thing can be said about the 993, which I also love, but which is not nearly as well suited for daily use, and cannot compare on track, both being how I use my car regularly. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing this has been very helpful and very insightful with an in depth view on Racing.
Awesome, and thank you for watching, subscribing and sharing your thoughts. Hope to see you out there!
even though it has a Porsche badge. it really is not ! I had one and they are garbage. a boulevard cruiser at best. no power, bad handling and spent more time in the shop than on the road. it was a 924 with widened body and a slightly bigger motor. still a 4 banger like the 924. the 924 was really a vw. or Audi. as they designed the car. and Porsche bought the right and produced it as a daily woman's car with 4 place seating and a hatchback for shopping . the real men and sport car enthusiast drove the 911. so go on KZread and try to justify a bad purchase of a very mediocre car.
And so you spent valuable time from your life seeking out, watching and commenting on this video why? You sound angry. Obviously I’m wrong. And Car and Driver must’ve been wrong naming it the best handling car. Now that I know what a horrible car it really is, I am going to sell it. Thanks for the heads up. You should go start your own KZread channel and tell everyone the truth.
"and spent more time in the shop than on the road. " Of you're not willing to learn to work on it, you don't want to own a vintage car... !!
