I really appreciate this video I was in the market for an old 914 and 928, but now I am in NO WAY buying one!

Car wizard you are the man , you tell it like it is kudos to you , I have a 2003 911 carrera convertible 6 speed 36 liter I absolutely love it , it’s a blast , I replaced the ims bearing and clutch , the 911 has always been my dream car
Comment from : Jasper Hicks

This gave me a good laugh Differentiate between the Macan Turbo, which has a fantastic engine and a well-tuned air suspension from the lower models You used the photo of the Turbo too
Comment from : Selbach

couple of 928 still running in South Africa
Comment from : aurelio monteiro

I think your opinion is valid You gave clear explanation as to why you chose one over another Personally, I like the Cayman in the Porsche line, when considering fun and cost

What about the 924
Comment from : The Repair Guyz

Would Car Wizard still be pro-electric if the whole co2 thing wasn't part of it? What about the cost of the batteries?
Comment from : James M

I've a '84 928s In the 25 years I've had it, I found it to be a solidly built, adequately quick, well handling GT and not junk by any means As a bonus it doesn't have an interference engine so if the timing belt breaks there won't be catastrophic damage, just an inconvenience should it occur Owning one of these cars you must either have the willingness to pay for repairs or be willing to work on them yourself Either way, it's important like with any car in keeping up the maintenance to avoid unexpected issues

I reported this video to FBI for recommending an automatic transmission
Comment from : Grumpy RC Modeler

Good 70's Porsches are 70k here Good 996's can be had for 25k I missed the boat on cheap 70's 911's (20 years ago) 996 is all I can get in on nowbrbrI was interested in 914 for a while Very good examples are cheap I actually really like how they look I lost interest when I saw how heavy they are I expected 700 kg but they are as heavy as a 911brbr928 are too complicated Too much stuff to go wrong, and rare as manuals and there's no way I'm buying an auto Porsche (I'm calling the police if I see an auto Porsche)brbrI consider old Porsches to be "hobby cars" or toys I couldn't care less about how reliable they are I have a shop at home with a lift and aeverything I need to work on cars
Comment from : Grumpy RC Modeler

914 is basically a VW We don't regard it as a Porsche And disagree with you about the 928 It's more of a GT and it looks cool It did when it came out and still does now The smart move is to buy one that some guy has spent a small fortune having one restored because their values are a lot lower than 911s Boxster is a hairdresser's car :)brBut agreed that the Cayman looks good A bit on the small side but the lines are good And you missed the 944 Lovely lines and S2 Turbo was sweeeeet

Why is Car Wizard being wheeled around by this poor woman?
Comment from : David Lee

Mr Wizard, how much do you charge per hour to work on Porsche Macans? We live in Maize not to far from Newton
Comment from : JIMMY

I will just keep the GT3
Comment from : Crypto King

Thanks for your honest opinion ,but I must disagree about panamera People love it or hate it it's nothing between
Comment from : Chris H

Can’t agree more with the 2009 cayman S
Comment from : zodeadlifts

The snap oversteer of 911s before the 991 generation makes them unsuitable for people who aren't sporting minded drivers But people who aren't sporting minded drivers generally don't like the 718/Boxster/Cayman because it isn't as comfortable (base model Boxster is plenty soft) Those are the people who should be buying the Macan, Panamera, or Cayenne These are the people the 928 was made for And FWIW, I think the second generation and on Panamera look pretty good
Comment from : Right Wing Safety Squad

If you think you want a Macan, get an Audi SQ5 It's the same car for half the price
Comment from : Right Wing Safety Squad

I bought a 2011 Panamera 4S in 2020 and it has been a blast This car is incredible The upkeep is not cheap but I don't care brTalking about coolness points I live in LA and the hottest girls have reacted very positively to it A lot of people here think driving a 911 is trying to hard But that may be specific LA I personally love 911s But you could be right about the V8 I'm approaching 90K miles and it has lost its smoothness At 58K when I bought it, it ran super smooth I switched motor mounts but there was only a minor difference brOtherwise I'm addicted to my Panamera and I will get a newer model eventually
Comment from : Jan Becker

I’m so pleased to not see mine in the video haha
Comment from : david05111

Car wizard , what would a boxer or 911 ls swap cost nowadays?
Comment from : Master Yoda

As a German I appreciate that finally someone in America pronounces Porsche right
Comment from : dgsidecarscom

And again, like the middle child it is, the 944 is forgotten
Comment from : mr19zee

If you buy a 996, 997, 986, 987 Porsche, get a full PPI WITH BORESCOPEthe bore scoring issue is a huge issue on these flat 6's IMS upgrade is an obvious given of course too Odd he doesn't mention these issues but I know he does in other specifically
Comment from : WPB Architect

Maybe I missed it, but you didn’t say anything about the Porsche cayenne ?
Comment from : PATRICK CAZER

F U i love the 928!
Comment from : vicURc

The macan take is based…I had a an S with 140k miles on it No many major problems, small stuff here and there with proper maintenance Definitely don’t buy the base macan
Comment from : Jon E Dillon

Love my 2004 Carrera 911 4S Cabriolet through the mountains it holds the road and screams mot many cars handle like that, It is a 996 and has 34,000 miles
Comment from : Jonathan Albert

The Boxster saved porsche
Comment from : Bill eib

I thought all Porsches were well-made cars?
Comment from : imaginary i

Wizard I love ya, but you kinda playin on the bandwagon w/ the 970 hate One has to like it for what it is Stay away from the stuck-up fanboy Porsche meets and just get out and enjoy driving! Enjoy buying an 80k vehicle for 20k that is actually a very Good car!
Comment from : Adam Harris

Why to go keep the old school classic easy to work on Porsche
Comment from : love1

Gotta disagree on the Taycan It certainly looks a lot better than the early Panameras but it's still a similar design Couldn't care less if it's as fast as a dragster to be honest It has no soul, weighs 2200kg and has a bland and cheap looking interior for the price What you should buy is a 911 in British Racing Green with a manual gearbox and tan interior

no 993 in the 90s? last air cooled porsche, probably the best investment in the next 15 years
Comment from : Domi S

Wichita ex-pat When did the Air Capital get charging stations? One thing, though - I have been doing research on Boxsters, and the 1999 is fine on the IMS - they used a double bearing and the failure rate is below 1 In 2000 Porsche changed to the single bearing and that is when the problems started (failure rate is AT LEAST 8)
Comment from : Daniel Churchman

The Cayman is everything the 911s aren'tIn particular the handling A wet road and a 911 is an accident waiting to happen This is what pissed off the 911 fanboysPlus its way cheaper of course🤔😳😳🇬🇧
Comment from : EnglishTurbines

Hi , I have been looking to infinity buy and don’t buy video but couldn’t find on you list , I have M37 2012 and I was hoping I could take your advice 😊
Comment from : Hawas plate

IMO, even the Boxster is overrated My stock 1994 Cavalier Z24 could do 15s in the quarter mile
Comment from : sproutpits

Mr Wizard, I have a 1990 944S2 and love it What are your thoughts on the 944 in general? They had a good run 1983-1991 (25L, 27 turbo, S, and 30L S2)
Comment from : N R

I agree with most of these except the 90s 911 Some people might just prefer a 911 over a Boxster
Comment from : Alfa Won

Love how the wizard starts with a warning to the keyboard warriors 😂 explaining this is personal opinions
Comment from : Daniel McAllister

Hey, I want one of those non-running 914s That would be an awesome rebuild!

944, 996?
Comment from : Guadalupe Fernando

I love that Alfa 164 btw I remembered when it came out…jaw droppings
Comment from : 3 Pizzas to go

Coming in late, on the 2009 Cayman S comment, I was wondering what about the 2008 Cayman? Is it the IMS bearing or are there other issues that warrants a don't buy On replacing the IMS bearing, is there a better replacement choice than others? I really enjoy your videos Very insightful and informative Keep them coming Thanks again
Comment from : Chris Dula

914 handled better, had better ergonomics- it outperformed the more expensive 911 - given the same running gear And their prices are through the roof The two air cooled 911s you recommend are triple digit price cars Especially the RS 30 and how many did they make? A 928 has a fuse for every single circuit- diagnosing one isn’t that difficult if you’re a competent mechanic
Comment from : Eric Umlauf

The RS 30? Expect $600K plus plus Buy 991 and 992’s (2014-2023) that are kept up Expect $80-130k Turbo’s if you can afford it Superior cars But it is only a scooter, no other purpose And if you can’t handle $4000 per year in servicing you can’t play

Por shaa

i had boter long time ago shortly BOXTER IS SHIT CAR IT IS NOT PORSCHE
Comment from : sam sami

I like the Panamers XD, but I would choose a Taycan if I could
Comment from : Tokyo Warfare

Great video The electric option was a gut punch but you are not wrong Glad to hear some Boxster love They are pretty decent cars for the money
Comment from : Alcohol And Anime Night

Wizard reccomending porschesbrI gotta click😅😂🤣
Comment from : Keni K

Dopplekeplungsgetreibe! For wizards Dr Ferdinand wondered in his visions about the future form & function of automobiles By now, PORSCHE AG should have called you for advising any serious production plans & issues If it ain't broke don't fix it? >>>Go! Go! Go! Mach 5! >>> Ty CW >>>

Wizard 🎉👏👏👏😵‍💫
Comment from : The frog

That kiln red 911 in the background looks like the 83 SC I once owned!
Comment from : SGNT

Yeah, they may eventually have charging stations on every corner, with big comfortable waiting rooms to accommodate the drivers as they spend 3 of their 24 hours in limbo
Comment from : Jennifer Harris

I am very, very angry!!!!! Just kidding! Great show!
Comment from : Osunga Okello

This aged like milk The Taycan is buggy as hell - EV's are goofy too I had one for 5 months, it spent 2 months in shop It's junk EV's are dying, thankfully
Comment from : MrSchn3ll

What's your thoughts on the Post 2020 Macan 29 L Engines - same problems?
Comment from : William Atkins

I love this dudes garage so much
Comment from : WhoisHaro

Wasn’t the 928 the fastest production car of its time?
Comment from : Brian Herbst

I loved the 914 It was basically a VW-Porshe hybrid
Comment from : Roy Schultz

A 4 door porsche is my perfect daily tho
Comment from : Chris3

Might want to avoid the 924S and 944? Oil leaks into coolant or coolant leaks into oil Exhaust manifold Check out an Porsche Owners Forum before buying
Comment from : CalBob750

Give me Panamera Twin turbo S 2014 , and you keep all theelectric junk for your selfWhat a mechanic
Comment from : Tony Anovski

I rarely disagree with the Wizard But I do now You explained why a 2010ish Electric P car was a poor choice due to the lack of charging stations That problem still exists today So why would you choose a car you can't just go out and drive versus one of the BEST cars Porsche has made?brI'm talking about the 9872 Boxster and Cayman I'm not going to go into all the reasons the 9872 is a high water mark car That's well documented on you tube and in the forums
Comment from : Scottyb

Macan are incredible U made the mistake of driving the base trim The turbo and gts rip and high spec builds are incredibly refined and impressive to drive, especially compared to its competitors Also, ur fat, so while it may feel small for you and your wife, most feel it’s perfect size for a smal suv
Comment from : Scon

Electric is not green and in fact funny this mechanic pushing electric junk that runs awful when cold as well not very green Look into how they make these batteries, think how you are limited with charging as well the cost to fix any electric junk The battery powered cars in the past were better than mass-produced shit today The best of all is the electric being used to power all these cars and trucks will put more stress to already stressed power linesbrLOL to think it is green to use more electric what a bunch of lies, I do think using a system with h2O would be better Keep gas alive and keep on rejecting these electric crap liberal BS out
Comment from : showmemo

Great review - I agree with most if not all conclusions - 👍🏻
Comment from : Mike Kelly

Hmm idk the panamera has my hearthave a 970 turbo with a tune and upgraded plenum Love the way it looks and on drives it keeps up with the exotic crew Eh what can i say, there is an ass for every seat in the car world
Comment from : Thefunone88

Sounds like the Panamera is a great conversation starter at least 🤣
Comment from : cloudyview

Cayman is the most beautiful modern Porsche
Comment from : Bored Alchemist

"914's have an uninspiring design" he says after drooling over the body styling that hasn't changed in *decades*
Comment from : flaagan

I’m hearing this vid after paying for the Macan Good stuff 💀🙆🏽‍♂️
Comment from : Miguel Alberto Pinzon Cascante

LOL my first Porsche was a 1980 928S I loved it But man it had a heap of flaws, for a daily driver Great video! 👍
Comment from : ModernMoneyHabits

You mentioned that you like EVs I loved my 2014 Volt until the warranty ran out after 8 years It had 90,000 miles of mostly EV (95) Since the engine had hardly any miles, I was counting on replacing the traction battery when it failed I had to take the car to the dealer to address a battery warning code They could not replicate the problem I checked the price of replacement batteries When the Volt came out, Chevrolet priced replacement batteries at $2,500 But the latest quote was $30,000 - and it could be a refurbished battery I sold the Volt before the battery failed I won't buy another EV until battery technology is standardized so that aftermarket suppliers bring down the price of replacement
Comment from : Michael McKeon

The 914 was light, communicative and very well balanced brDriving one in California is a different experience than driving one in Kansas
Comment from : nomadmac

The 993 deserves mention in the 90's The most refined and last of the air cooled Porsches The 986 and 996 can have early 2000's
Comment from : flyinb45

for the 2000s, you recommended the 2009 Cayman S How about a 2006 Cayman S? Same car right?brAwesome vid
Comment from : Archemity

Would welcome thoughts on the 981 Boxster PDK 2013-2016 Thanks
Comment from : MrEtc31265

Agree with most of this except your view on the 928!!!
Comment from : Tim Lippold

I’m right there with you on the looks of the Cayman I like the looks better than the 911

Im tryin get my panamera stanced lol😭
Comment from : Kidd Profit

I can't take seriously anyone who prefers to drive an automatic sports car when a manual is available
Comment from : Salad Breath

Well, Wiz, you were sure as hell correct about setting yourself up for some replies that would make “War and Piece” look like a grade school Weekly Reader”…brSoooooo, I’ll make this really easybrThe comments about the Macan being an Audi based, cheap interior SUV is pure BSbrOther than the base, all engines are pure Porsche and the interiors are on a par with any Porsche made todaybrAnd your blathering over the 1986 930 Turbo really should have included a disclaimer regarding it’s reputation as “The Widowmaker” due to it’s severe turbo lagbrI’m going to attribute this to your limited knowledge of drivability of your subjectbrYou may work on them, but you’re certainly not Sears Point qualified to discuss handlingbrThe end

The Panamera is like showing up at a pickup basketball game with mom jeans on cool
Comment from : Maine Guide

The 928 GT was good
Comment from : Chris Patrick

LOL 914 we dont call them porsche in europe but VolksPorsche (Volkswagen Porsche) kind of upgraded sportif VW Bug All 911 series and alikes are not daily drivers for short distances but need to warm up slowly and only after that can be driven fast for a long time and also need a slow cooling downbrI doubt they fitted the american use
