terrible audio
Comment from : chris

Know that 996 feel very slow due to over tall final drive ratio and long gears On paper they go ok, but to actually drive they don’t feel that fast at all Brutal truth 996 36 owner

i have a 911 turbo and a boxster Sand i have to admit, that, except the power and acceleration, the boxster is the better car put the 911turbo engine in a cayman and it would be amazing

It can be as simple as how you pronounce it: Say Porsche in one syllable and you will be pounced on by a screeching Porsche purist EXCUSE ME! Its not Porsche its Por-SCHE as in Dr Ferdinand Por-SCHE! how dare you mispronounce our Lord and Saviors name! And should you pronounce it Por-SCHE someone will counter with, OH REALLY? Its a P o r S C H E huh? Well don't we have our nose up in the air, I suppose you sniff your own farts too? I mean you just can't win 😞

1? it's way more than that and they aren't purists, their douchebags I ran into them very very quickly after buying my first Porsche last year The number of assholes in the Porsche community far exceeds the number of friendly people it's probably 60/40 That's the only thing I would have to disagree with you on there and I don't know where in the hell you came up with 1 maybe you were just being diplomatic

the great destroyer of revolutions per minute

i remenber people trashing the boxter when it came out and i found a great car to drive ,with manual gears off course , driving this cars with automatic doesn´t even make any sense, this unloved porshe was the last car i really had pleasure to drive, if the Alfa-Romeu 4C had manual gears with clutch it would be my favorite car to drive , all started to me with the 72 Lotus Europa and the dino ,both great cars to drive also i think i should mention the Renault Alpine A110 from the same era ,mine is a 73 ,allthough i love the design of the Renault Alpine A442 only changed the door mirrors to the ones from Alpine installed in the Renault 5 alpine turbo
Comment from : the great destroyer of revolutions per minute

Very difficult to find a one-owner Porsche that's been loved Most Porsches have seen 3-5 owners and been abused/neglected You'd think such a high-value car would a) be more durable, ie Lexus/Acura durable and b) be well-loved by fanatical owners I've found neither assumption to be true
Comment from : Alexi7666

I always thought that the 911 design was like a deformed voltswagon BeatleI always liked the Porsche 928 from 1979 to 1986 and the 944 models

Don't own a Porsche, but aspire to someday Don't hold any grudges about models, and its nice to see that Porsche has offered lower costing models to make them in reach for various salary grades
Comment from : Random Rebuilds

You're LATE to the conversation--- LOTS of people have been talking for decades about Porsche "Probleme" welcome to the conversationbrThat said, Porsche probably continues to be the best driver's car on the planet, as a brand Their sports cars are the object of many Dream Car talks, and even the 20+ year-old models are so rewarding to drive, as is the case with my 2001 Boxster S 6-speedbrDon't laugh--- you surely haven't driven one and experienced the feel AND The Howl of that glorious Flat 6 through a good sport exhaust brHappy driving, and Cheers

Comment from : Lamp

I love my 07 987 I've driven a 911 and it was a nice car, but I didn't need all the flash I have older cars that get a lot of attention when I'm out, and as much as I sometimes like the attention, at times I just want to be more anonymous, and my 987 gets me very close It's classy without being overly flashy and it doesn't push me into the 911 area of snobbery I've been told that when I become wealthy enough, I'll buy a 911, and I replied, I hope I never reach that level At that point I'll have lost what makes people like me and I'll be a snob just like the rest of the 911 people I can't stand Sorry, I was in another car community and sold that car and was very relieved when I did brbrWhen I'm occasionally asked about my car and the real cost of ownership I tell them that the parts are more expensive, but are comparable to the cost of any nicer aftermarket parts price for other cars, except these are just Porsche parts, not some expensive after market ones because they don't need to be The only nasty thing is going to a Porsche dealer which feels like extortion I told him to take the car to a good independent shop, or do the repairs yourself, they're surprisingly not so difficult When I tell people this, they're amased that I don't act like a snob I tell them, it's just a car A well built one, but still, just a car
Comment from : Sirena

I drove a 997 In a month it burned out tires Drank 2 liters of oil Smoked brakes i wash shocked at how bad it actually was Great and fun car My dream car since i was little But i could drive it fast or slow And it didnt change anything
Comment from : Bo Huggabee

Yeah the air cooled purists / snobs are the most annoying Don't get my wrong I absolutely adore the 993 and 964 but those cars are now so expensive that normal car enthusiasts can no longer afford them You get an amazing value for your money with 996 and 997 And they're MUCH faster than any air cooled 992 is the only 911 that I don't really like The rear is very weird and has gone too far from the original 911 Great video, cheers
Comment from : Kombalar 2112

Love Porsches any model including the 914 i proudly owned when young and after 944 turbo, 968, 928 and multiple 911’s now a 718 Spyder manual omg all Porsches before not forgotten Daily driver a Toyota Landcruiser for years

I get a bunch of attention with my 2022 718 cayman 😂 I could only imagine driving a 911

Comment from : Getrag

Excellent points about Porsche ownership They are excellent vehicles that have been engineered for abuse, and therefore, they are far more reliable than most non-Porsche owners give them credit for I currently own 5 Porsches, but only 2 are real (911s, ha sorry, couldn't resist!)

Not to be one of those people who bully online because I dont have anything better to do but the boxster is definitely a hairdressers car or a wife of someone who doesnt want her driving his porsches 😂

Comment from : TheStig 007

Honestly, after dreaming about having a Porsche for 50 years, if it somehow happened, the last thing I would care about is what anyone says or thinks of the one I got my hands on I have driven a 911, a boxter, and a panamera I loved all of them I couldn’t believe how the steering/throttle/brakes on the new panamera felt for example, I loved getting to drive them Frankly if you buy the most specd out 911 just to show off your money, and you hate all the other models, it’s you who are not a real Porsche lover you should have just bought a watch I think anyone I see with one, no matter which one has done great for themselves and I congratulate them on getting to do it If they know how to actually drive it, instead of tooling around at 30 mph all the time afraid to get it dirty, that’s great too
Comment from : Jason G

People do the same thing if you drive a cheap car and find out you can afford 20 of the same carbrbrMy solution: f**k what other people think You’ll never see them again, and the only people’s happiness that matters is yours, and your family’s

You're not owning a Porsche if you're worried about cost, the Porsche is owning you Get a Golf or a better job!

Just bought my new Cayman S Loving it With all the options added, the price is pretty close to a 911 Who knows, maybe one day I will buy a 911 But for now, I am loving this Cayman

Comment from : KEW

I remember back in the day, one of the honchos at Porsche had a 944 Turbo as his driver When asked, he replied that it was the best balanced, all-around Porsche 😅; so to me, the cultisI mean "Purists" can just shut up

Well you have the worst version of the 911 ever made :S

Comment from : Yankee AirPirate

I've owned 6 Porsche 911s Starting with a 1996 911 Cabriolet and my last was a 2013 911S Cabriolet And I ALWAYS bought a CPO Porsche! They come with an extra 2 years of warranty when the original warranty expires I typically would get rid of my Porsche very close to the end of the CPO warranty Anyway, owning 6 CPO Porsches I only had to use the CPO warranty 2 times I guess I got lucky? Porsche's are great cars and they are very well built I'd own another one except I now live on a 105 acre ranch where I don't need a Porsche :( lol I need a truck!

spent $27K in 20 years on my 95 manual 993 including, new tires 4Xand the cab top maintenance cost $4K, so coupe cheaper to maintain

Good honest opinions Really enjoyed
Comment from : Thomas Heuer

Not all 911 owners are "snotnose" I own a 750hp 996 TT and respect all p cars
Comment from : James Anderson

would you be scared to buy a 996 automatic that had a newer rebuilt engine from an IMS bearing failure? other than that it is super clean and seems like a great deal In general is buying a rebuilt an engine too risky?
Comment from : Dave Cory

very true what you say about don't insult anyone for driving a 944 or a 924 or a water cooled Porsche Let any Porsche driver feel proud of whatever Porsche they drive Because the real Porsche is the air cooled 911, no other Porsche can replace it The newer water-cooled Porsches are expensive to repair especially after the water-cooled design has many problems Repairing blown head gaskets, scored cylinder walls, broken studs, etc can cost you more than you paid for your car This is my sentiment; I would not play a new Stratocaster when I'm fortunate to have a couple vintage ones You can't blame Porsche enthusiasts for not considering the egg drop head lights or water-cooled Porsches the real thing I hope you are not insulted by this but you really should speak slower and stop at the end of sentences Your speaking comes across like you never come up for airLOL

The most pointless video I've seen Any and every fanbase has that 1 purists who snob Plus most used cars will have high maintenance costs as they get older

Porsche build the best drivers sports cars DRIVERS CARSnot fastest car in a straight line Finally no sports car or super car is cheap to maintain

If you cannot maintain it, it will be expensive to own Learn to wrench it and it will be fine as long as you maintain it properly

Cops won't see a Porsche if there's a Nissan Silvia around
Comment from : braddeicide

I’m on my second and it’s a base model 997 I don’t really care what other drivers think, to me it is a special car and worth far more than the price I paid for it, if only in terms of how I screw my neck around each time I leave it somewhere Like me it’s big standard and I love it, because of , and not despite, the history
Comment from : STEVEN SARSON

If I buy a non 911 Porsche from the dealership and someone says to me, it's not really a Porsche unless it's a Carrera 911 I'd say, uhhh F you 10x a day And I'll give him/her the finger It's my money, my decision and none of your business So if someone pays attention to those stupid noise, and you're mentally weak, yes it's easy to get trapped But I fairly have a thick skin and don't typically pay attention to those noise

Good stuff, but it seems like normal sentence structure is damaged by pause removal I suggest trimming your words and not the space between words You also forgot sagging headliners!
Comment from : 5Minuteman

Sorry to say I've experienced negative comments about my 911 by really toxic american 'fans' Looks like Americans feel somewhat entitled as they seem to pay far too much for their rebuilds and engine work than we do in the UK That in some way makes them feel 'better' than others Really sad

Good Lord, what in the world is wrong with the audio on this program? It's so highly processed that it makes it difficult to listen to and even interferes with intelligibility to some extent Thank goodness, though it's buried in the menu, for the option of reading the text of the transcript, rather than listening Hopefully it's just this particular program rather than the whole series🤨
Comment from : Tommy Horrall

Are super cars worth the hassle and expense?
Comment from : JD14

And when someone says they do not like the Boxster, I simply do not like convertibles of any make, period I have a motorcycle for the open-air feeling And as for the headlights on the 996 which came from the GT1 originally, I do not like 996 models because they have less body features and are flat on the sidesno hips Just a matter of personal choice No need to get the nose bent out of joint
Comment from : A C E

Porsches are for people that want a reliable sports car As an Italian friend told me that was born in Italy, lives in Italy and owned a car parts business in Italy, "Ferraris are beautiful to look at, but if you want a real sports car, buy a Porsche"

Love all Porches, bought a 2004 911 about 2 years ago for $13,000 With 114000 miles no issues Been looking for an air cooled but all I can afford right now is maybe a 914 Really all au cooled Pirches are just Volkswagens, lol

No problems whatsoever with fellow Porsche drivers and public response to Porsche ownership I do however have a problem with Porsche dealers who are the most arrogant and incompetent imbeciles on the planet
Comment from : Guantou

Porsche are reliable and an absolute joy to drive They are one of the few special cars where you can feel absolutely safe driving it anywhere without having to worry about unnecessary attention or people wanting to vandalize them They're rare enough to be seen as special by those who like them, but also common enough to avoid being too much of an attention magnet
Comment from : HiddenWen

Porsche probably offers the best blend of motorsport and daily usage in their cars Unless you have the need to constantly drive with 3 adults in the car, you can perfectly use your Porsche for a daily commuter And when an opportunity arises, it can become a beast of a vehicle in a few seconds In my opinion, if you are in the market for a sports car that you can actually drive a lot, Porsche should be on top of your list
Comment from : Nikolai Diqnov

I’ve recently started driving a 2001 Boxster, with 80k on the odometer The car has been an absolute blast to drive I’m 21 and its my first experience with a manual transmission and a Porsche in general The previous owner replaced the IMS, RMS, clutch, and installed bucket seats and Bilstein adjustables The only thing that wasn’t replaced was the AOS, which ironically failed a month into ownership So that cost $120 and 6 hours of my time, it would probably have been $800 or more from a shop But besides that, everything has been perfect! It’s absolutely magnificent to hear that flat 6 go, and the car has suddenly made me look rich in front of my friends They were all pretty shocked when I told them it cost $15,000 and was cheaper than all of their cars, which they had gotten within the last few years
