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).

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.
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.

The 992s interior has an amazing retrograde aesthetic. The incorporation of digital tech while still maintaining a strong and palpable historical reference is something few car makers have been able to execute. While I really like your reviews quite a bit (and subscribed), I think you may have been a bit dismissive of the interior design. I quite like what Mazda is offering these days (great improvement from my moms MPV of my youth) but comparing it to this car is an affront to the ingenuity underlying the design. Otherwise, fantastic review!

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.
