I waited 40 years to get my 911. It was worth the wait.

Steve Hammes - you are the go to person for car reviews. Very professional without gimmicks. Love to get a 911 but my wife won't approve. Minivan here i come...

"Remove this badge and you can easily be in a Mazda". Um, NO ONE will mistake that interior for a Mazda lol.

Very nice and clear. Love the combo of the options, I wouldn't opt for the PASM as it turns the car too stiff, although I would buy the longer front lip. For better contrast, agate will fit better with the bordeaux red interior or if you want to stick with the GT Silver, I would go for the black/beige interior. It's a pitty that the base model doesn't come with manual, as for me the base is just enough... enjoy your toy! Greetings from a guy from Colombia (South America).

"It's been a long time since I've driven a Porsche with one of these"...I laughed my head off with that one Steve. Always look forward to your reviews ma man. Cheers!

You got it right, this manual gear box brings the maximum joy in a 992. I had 4 Porsche 1 pdk and 3 manual. I switched to manual because the cldd add imed better acceleration is almost not usable in real tragic: who will launch control at a trafic light or stop? I made it 2 times in 3 years, what counts in real life is the rolling performance and there with 530 nm torque and 35 kg less than pdk it is well performing.

#SaveTheManuals Awesome review. Equally awesome car. Thanks!

Steve, great review as always! I have to say that all my '911 end swapping' fears went out the window with this one. It held the road as tight as anything else I had ever driven. Must be those monster sneakers on the back.

Love my 992 Carrera S Manual….smooth!

Love this car

A fun weekend car if you can afford it cause I damn sure can’t lol

1st gear, 2nd gear, 1st gear, 2nd gear, 1st gear, 2nd gear....how exciting or refreshing is that?! I love this car, but 83 mph before redlining in 2nd gear, makes the PDK a must.

There goes my pension as options in a car 😢😢

Porsche Accept no substitute

Nice job on the review. Direct and to the point. Good info on things like the room for big feet.

Has been my dream for decades. I hope to be able to find a pre-owned in my range in a couple of years.

Amazing machine and manual is the only way to go!

Awesome review, Steve.

So this car had the 10mm lowered suspension? Trying to decide if I want this option driving in the city most of the time.

An absolute Dreamcar 👌😉what have i seen in the Screen? You are a Yankees Fan eh 😄😊Greetings from Germany 👋

Excellent articulation, speech, and writing. This should be part of a KZfaq reviewer's basics course. It would eliminate so much unwatchable dross and people who shouldn't be making videos.

Great review sir. I would go with manual if is not my daily driving car. But PDK blew my mind in the new 992! It’s not all about 0-60 but not much slower on manual actually it all depends on the driver on manual!

Thanks for the review! I just bought *this* exact car this weekend from PCNA. Still getting used to the car, but nice to see it getting used in anger. ;)

Here's to an Aston Martin DBX review. Steve, make it happen.

I hope 7 manual comes to more cheaper cars aswell. I just switched from 5 to 6 gears. So awsome. And far more comfort and energy efficiency on the highway. I dont care much for top speed or acceleration. But a ride mast be smooth. So i hope to see the 7 gear before ev take over.

Well done 👍🏻

Mandatory manuals 👍

PDK is the best dct in automotive transmission Great review

Hi Steve. The review was worth the wait. I'm surprised you said the interior can be mistaken for a Mazda... is that saying the quality went down or Mazdas quality went up that much? I know you meant it as a figure of speech but still. Thats not good given its a $100k+ car

Perfekt allein ist gut genug: Handschaltung & frei saugender Motor.

My dream car since I was 10, I hope i could get it. Btw it's so expensive in my country🇵🇭😭😭

I like the sound💨💨

I’ve always been drawn to the 911, but now the price is so high that it is off-putting to value-conscious driving enthusiasts and appealing to conspicuous consumers.

Is there a faster or more power porsche in a manual transmission? Which models? Manual.transmissions in sports cars should be a must. I hate that manual is slowly going away. 😔

really, you do preview a sport car and mention about mpg. LOL

Just to augment your fine review, Steve, it is important to point out to your smart petrolheaded viewers, that all frunks are bonnets, but bonnets are not necessarily frunks. Let that marinate for a while. In closing, this is a stunningly specced example of a Bavarian Shooting Brake, without the floppy paddle nonsense, so it receives the highest possible Nena Score: 99 Luftballons/99

Have you ever been in a Mazda?

Which would you rather have, factoring in price and the fact that you can get the 992 S with a manual trans would you take this or the new NSX ?

Yasss stick shift 🔥🔥🔥

That thing looks fantastic! The interior is beautifully done and contrast with the exterior, perfectly. I only have two problems with this car? Many options that should be standard, and those ridiculous electric door handles? Porsche, give me a stripper with no power seats, Android auto and Apple carplay for eighty thousand! I'll be signing a purchase agreement!

Great review

So cool.

Got to test one ultimate sports car in the Porsche 911. However, when will you test America’s sports car, the new mid-engine Corvette?

Fantastique quelle que soit la boîte de vitesses …👍😉

oh thats awesome to see

I’ve been a Porsche enthusiast and lover of all things Porsche ever since I was in the 7th grade and got my first ride in a Porsche. I’ve followed the company through good times and bad but always remained a loyal follower even when they made questionable choices in their lineup or with certain design choices. But there’s one thing that bugs me more than the first time I saw the 996’s headlight design that it shared with the Boxster and that’s the decision starting with the 991 to close off the engine bay and having a small rear deck lid that opens to show a couple of cooling fans and some caps for topping off fluids. There’s no engine to be seen. Regardless of if you do your own service or take your 911 to a mechanic there’s still always been something special about lifting that rear deck lid and seeing the flat 6 cylinder engine that’s driving all that excitement.

why do you shift the gear lever so aggressively? loooks like your grinding your shifts every time. sad.

A 23.7 gallon gas tank is very cheap option.

Damn that sounds sexy.

I came here because 7 forward gears of manual transmission sounded insane to me.

So shame that the manual transmission is not available here in Japan.

Porsche 911 carrera s❤️

LOVE H O N D A NSX

Is this test car GT Silver on exterior color?

Wow very nice..um Steve what is the current price??

I'll take one in blue please.

Great video and summary, but $137k for a 911 is just absurd. Thanks, but no thanks.

Couldn't find a proper track?

I have a Jag XKR-S, an XJ SC, and a Giulia......I skipped the C8 because it looks terrible and I'm waiting on the Lexus LC F. If that LC F fails FOR ANY reason; this 911 Pure is where my $100K is going. Toyota, this money is yours to lose...

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Half the price of extras went on that red leather seats

Auto tranny with paddles is faster. Why don’t you test cars in real world situations like bumper to bumper traffic?

Passionate but slower.

Someone needs to get some mowers out and trim that runway or what ever you are using as a closed course.

I'd rather buy a Shelby Super Snake with 800 plus horsepower 🐍

Sorry Steve, i do like your reviews, but Porsche is nothing for connoisseurs, it's just another status symbol from Germany. Have you forgotten their business model? The pricetag says it all.

Glue that ugly spoiler down.

Funny-looking urinepeon car

For 100k I'd rather have the lexus lc500. Arguably the better buy with more style, luxury, and more reliable to boot. These porsches dont look any different from 15 years ago, and no one even takes a second glance at one in traffic.

Can't wrap my head around the ugliest spoiler.

Dodge Demon-accept no substitute

Always with the ugly red leather in these Porsche reviews - no matter the reviewer.......
