  • In this video I'm driving a 12 year old Porsche 911 Carrera S with a 7 speed manual transmission and over 75,000 miles. I'm going to diving into how this 911 has held up throughout its 10+ years of driving, if its still good, and if i recommend it.
    So, the 991 generation 911 was a big change coming from the 997, which is a pretty big thing to say considering the 997 was pretty different compared to the 996. But anyway, the 991 was only the 3rd time Porsche gave the 911 a new platform. And, i see this generation as the beginning for so many amazing Porsches that have come after it.
    A couple hints about this example, its a very clean one. The interior seems like it has full leather and it looks absolutely immaculate. Not a scratch or any leather fade. Amazing interior quality in this example. The driving, well you're going to have to watch the video for that, but let me tell you that it was fun and a testament that cars with miles aren't bad, they're just nicely broken in. I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I did filming it.
    Thank you for watching!

    What do you think of the 991 Porsche 911?

    • @kaiwestensee
      @kaiwestensee 3 місяці тому +1

      I think the 991 is (with the 964) the most beautiful 911! And the naturally aspirated engine is amazing!

      I own a 2014 991.1 C4S with under 60k km (about 37k miles) and the sounds emanating from the flat six is otherworldly! I have a few more options than the model you test drove (PDK, Sport Chrono Sport Design package, Sport Design exterior mirrors, 20" Sport Techno Wheels for example). The 911 will forever be a timeless model. Really nice review!

    Timeless design. Look at 12 yo bmw or merc, they already look dated while the porche looks like it's out of the factory

    I have a C4S and I agree with you about the EPS being overblown on the internet. The car is so damn good and not forgetting it being the best looking modern 911s of all.

    Very compelling video. I've been shopping 997.2, but the price range is suddenly blending between these ranges. I'm definitely encouraged to widen my scope based on this video.

    I'm picking up one of these up next week. There aren't a lot of options for people that want relatively lightweight, high horsepower, and a smaller car, which will also be reliable. For the twisty and narrow back roads I drive on those are the attributes I wanted. My last sporty car was a E46 BMW M3 with the competition package. I loved that car except for it's weight (~3400lbs). The 991.1 C2S being 300lbs lighter with ~70 more horsepower and ~60 more ft/lbs torque seems like a sweet spot for someone like me. I could get a 992, but the size and weight increase makes it less appealing to me.

    I love my 2014 991.1 S convertible bought April of 2022 it’s loaded with all 7 buttons sport chrono 10 or 20 mil lower PDk which I love been shift my whole life big toe is happy having a cruiser rocket.Never needing more power super tight curvy canyon of the 121 and 128 35 to 45 mph is beyond a blast I need to play with that g meter, kinda like the radio I’m to busy listening to that Awesome sport exhaust note. It’s so addicting. 1 thing it needs nose lift does anyone make that for the 991.1?
