  • It’s a classic. And starting at around $122,000 a bit of a bargain. How’s that possible when the Porsche 911 GTS costs $15,000 more than the Carrera S model? Because it gives buyers $22,000 worth of kit. It’s like Black Friday every day of the year. Tom Voelk drives the 911 Carrera 4 GTS model.

    Wasup Tom. Amazing video. I owned a Cayman S & was totally satisfied & iin love as you were. Unfortunately, I sat in a 911. Then I drove one. I looked at my Cayman S & shed a tear. I had to divorce her for my 911 4S. It's not the 4GTS I wish I had, but your video personally hit home with me in more ways than one.

    Interesting to see people bashing Alcantara interior. I think it's beautifully elegant and refined but also sporty and racey at the same time. I love the "Natural Leather" option as well but Porsche only offers it in 2 colors.

    The GTS lacks like 200 HP from the Portofino and that one is also a cabriolet. Not to mention that Ferrari is also more upmarket than Porsche.
    More realistic competitors would be the SVR, GT-S or an R8.

  • @76carmel

    • @DrivenCarReviews

      The Turbo S had the PDK. Just luck of the draw with press cars. Personally, I would buy the PDK in a heartbeat.

  • @AGC828
    @AGC828 6 років тому

    I wonder how noticeable or unnoticable the turbo lag is on these 2018's. Some say it's barely noticeable. And is not abrupt. No sudden hit of power. Fairly gradual. Like a naturally aspirated 911 (GT3). Porsche should bring back another "more affordable" naturally aspirated 911. Maybe positioned about the Carrera T.

  • @oeiras99

    I picked up my 911 4 GTS in mid March, just in time for the Portuguese government to keep the population in their houses, so it has sat in the garage for the most part. Oh well, it will keep for more normal times, if they ever return. Looks great in the garage.

      @@DrivenCarReviews It's a challenge but I love it too. It is said that things like speed limits are merely suggestions. In fact 20 kph over the 120 limit is okay, but I love the twisty roads best, especially down the mountain from Sintra to Cascais. You're right about the GTS bargain aspect since I configured a 911S with the kit on my car, and it came to >200,000 euros including massive taxes.

    Tom - Was this GTS in Dolomite Silver or GT Silver?

    • @DrivenCarReviews
      @DrivenCarReviews  3 роки тому

      It was 3 years and 150 cars ago. Don’t remember. Also, video is a very poor way of judging paint. You really need to find an example in person and see if you like it.

  • @Aliakbar.m

    Hi Tom, Some drivers report dual-clutch gearboxes aren’t as smooth during low-speed town driving as their makers claim them to be. So is that right? Have you had any previous experience?

    • @DrivenCarReviews
      @DrivenCarReviews  6 років тому +2

      I understand that Ford has had some issues with that, especially in the Focus. The times I've had a Porsche PDK I've had little to complain about.

      Yes it does happen occasionally. I have a VW GTI with the DSG. You might experience a small amount of clunkiness in stop and go traffic or in a parking lot, but 99.9% of the time a dual clutch is fantastic. I would never buy a performance car without one!

    • @johnwhodat8135
      @johnwhodat8135 6 років тому

      I have a 991.1 carrera s and yes, the pdk is a little bit sluggish when driven slow. But when driven spirited it is a wonderful gear box. Faster the gear turns faster the gear engages.

    • @DrivenCarReviews
      @DrivenCarReviews  6 років тому +6

      There's that chestnut "it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow" and as a Miata owner, I can say that's the truth. In everyday driving on public roads, especially the city, the Mazda is a joy to drive. But out where you can push a car, the Porsche is another dimension. If only I had the disposable income...

      Life is always about never having enough, what's new? I think it's safe to assume that the majority of Porche owners have the disposable income for expensive toys. If you were a multi-millionaire, I think your tune would change quite quickly.

      @dlg5485 6 років тому +1

      I'm not a huge fan of alcantara, but I don't mid it and I absolutely love the black wheels, although I'd probably get the Carerra S wheels in black because the center lock wheels would make it much more difficult and costly to have 2 sets of wheels/tires for summer/winter. In any case, I think the GTS looks much sportier than other 911 trims and that's a good thing, it should have a meaner look. But this kind of stuff is entirely based on individual preferences. There is no right or wrong look for a car. It's all in the eye of the beholder.
