Great getting my hands on another Porsche GB car, this time a base 911 🔥 A Turbo S must be absolutely mental 😂

Just don't think BMW are in the same league as Porche. There are some stand out features where BMW can compete but as a package Porche win hands down. Great honest and informed review Joe.

They’re doc Browns glasses from back to the future 😂

honestly i dont care that the M4 may be a little quicker. there's levels to this and the 911 is a different league to the m4

Is no one going to mention Joe's choice in sun glasses?? 😅😅

There seems to be a preoccupation with speed as though speed is everything. It isn’t. Speed without proper handling is useless. Porsche has always managed to combine speed, agility, handling, comfort and beautiful lines into one cohesive unit. I would take this over any other car anytime.

I use my 992 S as a daily. No kids so no issue. My large cricket bag fits in the back

the 911 is probably the greatest sports car ever made, if it was for me and money is no issue, i'd always go for either the gt3 or the carrera gts. just pure engineering bliss

I have a 2021 992S, the interior design and or functionality is relatively same as the car your reviewing, but yes, the steering wheel obstructs the dash and could be frustrating. Small quibble, such a fun car to drive.

Undoubtedly the best review of 911 I've watched till now. Kudos to your camera and the way you deliver your comments about the car. Stunning and right on point

Thanks for reviewing the base Carrera! I've been waiting for one for a while

Love the exterior colour and the retro green dials! A great video as always! Thanks :-)

Joe turned into A-train with those shades! Good review, sunnies not so much 😂

stabbed the like button as soon as seeing Joe pulling out in the intro, excellent stuff as usual 👍

Always nice videos from you Joe. I think one can learn a lot from your happy personality, you seem very fun to hang around with!

Another banger catch, Joe! All the love and show gets put to the Turbo’s, GT3’s and C4S’s. In my opinion, the base Carrera’s are always the best models to me! (Behind the GT3 Touring, of course :D!) Love the incoming Porsche content! Makes my Porsche enthusiast heart cherish.

Just the exact comparo i was hoping for ! thanks a lot !

Those bangs on the upshifts......addictive!

Great review, as always. The base 911 with sport chrono plus Litchfield visit is an interesting alternative to a 992s or GTS.

Fantastic review as always, keep up the great work 👍

nice review Joe, love your content

If someone from the past were to watch this video, they’re wonder why this man is in his underclothes. Love your videos btw. You really convey the feeling of being inside these amazing vehicles.

Good review Joe 👍🏻

great vid, helped me on purchase options picked up 2021 911 carerra

Great review Joe, good work!

I was parked next to one of these today, had a chat with the owner, a great car.

Great video Joe, keep them coming 👍👍

8:52 Whoa, even Imran from Evolve Automotive would be impressed by the size of those sunglasses, I'm sure 😁👍🏻

What a great review 👌

Never really was a great lover of Porsche but my mind has been changed, and them sunglasses wow 🤩

The last 911 model you will ever buy as it will be electric in the future. I couldn't compare any BMW with a 911. Its like comparing Katie Price to Liz Hurley. 3.59 for the base non S is just crazy. I have plan to get one in a couple of years, trouble is I love my 996 too much even after 15 years.

Nice vid Joe Love that Newbury to Wantage road in my Caterham 😉

Those glasses Joe! Who remembers Ski Sunday!?

Another great review Joe. Your next car perhaps?

great review, thank you

Great review Joe, hopefully things will continue to prosper and you could order a Porsche to.

I love the Judge Dredd garage sale glasses (I couldn’t resist piling on)

Nice video, I own a 992 Carrera ( Silver ) and your review seems spot on, its my first 911. Has the sport chrono package and sport exhaust, No regrets on getting the base Carrera!

Good review. I have a base 2017 Carrera with 370 hp and have seen instrumented test times of 3.6 seconds from 0-60 with sport chrono. Plenty quick for me. 😎

Good review, wished you would go more in depth comparing it to the new g80! Cheers mate.

Nice to see you testing a real car Joe 🤣😂🤣👍👏😀

Awesome video Joe Face lift coming out this year 992 price drop... Perfect time to buy and save some money

Nice review. 911 or M4? 911 if I had a second car and M4 if it’s my only car. Either one would be awesome.

Very nice video and sound record

Joe, Larry from Cameo wants his shades back!

Spot on review. Ive owned a base 911 for a month now:bose/chrono/20-21 wheels… feels faster than stated power(launch control induces nausea). Normal ride mode just as you described(surprisingly comfortable) but hit sport plus and you better hang on, really tightens up the chassis. Amazingly, at 6’-6” 300 pounds i fit in it. I hate digital screens but porsche manages this one well. Middle screen is tucked under dash and is unobtrusive but a bit busy. Push a toggle and it disappears. Main dials function vey well, tach is front and center.

Poverty spec 911 is a rare press car amazing review!

Joe, how about a review of them shades 😂

3.59 0 - 60 is crazy for a base one if this is true, it's the best value 911

I gave it a thumbs up 👍 because of Joe’s choice of glasses.

About the poor sight on some gauges, I've read that designers at Porsche did that on purpose. They purposely build in some "inperfections" to remind you of the days that these cars actually came with these design flaws but much more annoying, I am sure any Porsche employee at the dealership would comfirm this. Lovely content as allways

Great video Joe, agreed the PDk is the best in the business.

Love the sunglasses 😎

amazing video.

Joe I know you own the new m3, would you choose that over a base 911? Having a tough time making a choice. The durability and ability to hold value on the 911 is steering me in that direction.

Has Joe been shopping for sunglasses with Will I am?

Joe, I've always liked how you speak about fuel economy and tyres - could you also start mentioning the performance of audio system of the cars?

I love this car. Completely wrong spend on spec dont bother with heritage leather on this, get the sports chrono pack and bose. I dont like the sports exhaust tips but thats me. Id probably tick it regardless for resale. Crazy quick 3.59 seconds to 60mph is ridiculous plus the looks. It looks incredible.

Nice one Joe, drive a 996 Targa if you want some fun. Would make an interesting comparison. Happy to assist.

Porsche everyday over the BMW, no comparison

17:40 look at it go ! The 911 variants on body styles is a personal thing but engine wise it's only bragging rights to go for the S or GTS. Standard Carrera is all you need with more allowance on options. It's already a beast with a benchmark performance vs it's rivals.

Love your reports Joe, but where did you get those sunglasses. You can get away with them, I probably couldn't 😂

Would you swap your M3 for this 911? The issue I have questions about is the tire noise on a leisurely motorway/highway commute. I had a 996 back in the day and with worn tires, the sound was almost unbearable.

Good content. Those glasses must have been a bet!

Great review. The UK has some great roads.

To me, this car is IT. It is just about perfect.

Great review, wonder how many base vs s models are sold. Always feels like the s is more popular.

Nice to see an almost base model on test,rather than one loaded with £35'000 of options.

Great review thank you!!!! My last car was a 2019 M4-- had 2 different M3's over past 15 years before that. 4 months ago I sold my M4 and got a 2021 911 Carrera S-- in this same Adventurine Green color. Another dealer had a 2022 Carrera S in black that had just arrived that day-- But because of this color I opted for the 2021-- was worth it to me as just don't see these on the road nearly as much as black, white etc. SUCH a different ride than my 3 previous BMW M cars-- definitely a stiffer and rougher ride overall. Also, before this Porsche, I only drove Manual my entire life. No manuals available at all-- which was a bit of a bummer-- But I love my new car and the 8 speed PDK really does do an amazing job. Have zero regrets and it is a true pleasure to drive.

Nice review Joe,BMW do best steering wheels but 991’s are wow

Joe another very honest video as usual, if I would criticise, the colour dull, you are right with the interior it’s too easy to soil and it’s fast enough!!! So I don’t want one unless you are giving them away Ha Ha Ha👍👍👍🚘🚘🚘😁😁😁

Agree totally - the heritage interior package is not a great option. Would definitely spend the money on the Sports Chrono Package and Sports Exhaust

I could see a strong love affair between Joe and the 911... 😍 An additional 100 to 150k subscribers and a lovechild Joe-Porsche might pop up. 😎

I’ve got a Cayman 718 GTS 4.0 PDK on order, although there appears to be a lengthy wait. It would be interesting to see the 0-60 time for this. I’ve seen a few with the manual gearbox I think the claimed is 4sec with PDK?

I recon you should review the Aston Vantage, much more class soul and emotion in that car, you will love it~ I test driven both, the 911 C2S and the Vantage, wouldn't hesitate to choose the latter at any time.

I miss you doing Alpina reviews. This Porsche btw has such a desirable paint

The feeling of width on the 992 is just a perception, as the whole car is narrower than the G8x M3/4.

Stunning base machine. Can upgrade with our friends at Lichfield ,to 500bhp with simple chip mod. 1ve driven porsches past 15 years,every drive is always special.

Very luxurious beautiful design nice interior

Please try to get one with rear wheel steering. Its a big difference

It suits you Joe!

I believe the Porsche 911 is the best overall car, period. You could drive the damn thing every day if you wanted to. It will never look “dated”, comfort of a GT while still being a legit sports car, durable build quality, understated prestige. It’s just perfect.

What’s the waiting list like on these? Second hand market is high.

The used car market right now is just plain stupid. I was looking at a 2020 C2S on a lot here in the US and they wanted $157,000 USD for it. I realize that new cars are nearly impossible to get right now but this is the absolute worst time to be used car shopping. Yes, completely irrelevant to the vid but..

She’s a beauty Joe 👌(tbh not my ideal spec either) but the bottom of the range in RWD & PDK guise is probably the pick of the range and a good value v cost proposition 👍imho buddy

I wish the seats weren’t so small on cayman. The 992 seats are surprisingly spacious and comfortable seats. Probably due to the small back seat area. Pretty cool you can order shark blue on the 2022. Incredible new color.

Can you test the Macan Gts same power and more space surely the compromise sports Porsche power/space / value ?

Even the PDK on my 987 was brilliant

Hello Joe. Last time I saw you on vid was specking a BMW 135 ..... That car was metallic grey 👍

awesome car

They got the colour right, Aventurine green 😍

what about this between a cayman S? i fynally have the money to buy a used 911 s from 2018.... but im looking into a cayman S to save a ton of money and i was wondering if it is a solid car and fun to drive for a weekend car and sometimes a daily driver... my main car atm is a bmw 420d gran coupe and i usually do between 50-100km a day to work. thanks

I love Aventurine Green and also the green dials of the Heritage pack. I don’t love the corduroy material for the seats, so I wish Porsche would have a green dial option as a separate option, but I won’t hold my breath.

Brilliant video Joe, can’t help thinking that comparing to an M car is daft as people surely wouldn’t be torn between the two because really they are totally different, ones a sports car and the other is a saloon.

Those glases, epic

I am surprised why didn’t you have the chrono package and sport exhaust for testing. I have both on my 991.2 and the sound is insane.

Interesting final verdict, I love my GTS 4.0 cayman and it’s in the same Aventurine green, it seems to suit Porsche’s. Still wondering if I should replace after a couple of years with a PDK but I have enjoyed the manual, my first for 8 years.

The other thing that the 911 wins out on, is the fact it will retain a lot more of its value than a BMW M4. Which means if you actually were to buy either car outright, the 911 is a better place to put your money.

Love 911's.

BEST Car for sure
