    The T is for 911 drivers who care more about the daily driving experience than showing other car guys that they can afford the more expensive versions.

    I really like Nick's reviews. I like the honesty and well-reasoned opinions. A lot of other car reviewers on UA-cam (who depend on staying in the good graces of the manufacturers) are way too positive in their reviews, and do nothing but drool over horsepower and torque. And wow, it hadn't even occurred to me that Porsche is actually selling 911s that don't have a LSD. That totally defeats the purpose, turns the car into a fair weather, straight line accelerator, and is really unbecoming a brand like Porsche.

    Hi Nick , completely agree with your opinion . I have to repair my 911 in my garage with parts shipped from Europe and the US . My 997.1 has now 16 years and is 100% working, a wonder with our bad roads here in Central America. I want to see all these driving computers in 16 years when all the electronic is falling apart and none of the gimmicks is working any longer . Error codes everywhere , I can actually see it with the Porsche Cayenne GTS from my neighbour (a nightmare!). Keep it simple and always safe travels. Best Porsche channel ever. Kind regards from Panama.

    I'm obviously late to this discussion, but I had no idea this detail until you mentioned it. The fact that a brand new 911 costs $120-150K+ doesn't come with an LSD is pretty insane. I'm sure there's an argument that you don't need one, sure. But come on, for borderline supercar's worth of money you'd think they'd include it.

    My Base is essentially a 911T before it was announced with sports chrono, exhaust, sports plus seats and no additional options as it does not need any!

    Fully agree Carrera T is a great car. Had a 991 T for 2 years and then upgraded to 991 GT3 Touring. Completely different car, much more raw but still it is my daily car. If I would not drive a GT3 then I would take a T again, definitely. I would spec it with manual gearbox like the GT3. I also agree that high power models like turbo s with pdk takes away a lot of the fun as you get to maximum allowed speed on the road way to fast. Carrera T is plenty of fun, sound and comfort.

A lot of people are looking for perspectives like this as they're trying to determine which model they will buy, i.e. T, S or GTS etc. Keep up the great videos. Anyone know what makes the S model faster than the T on the 992 cars? It's like they're intentionally making this info. difficult to find. hmm

    Spot on review. I own a 981 Boxster Spyder which I have car-swapped with my friends with various other modern Porsche models.
    The Carrera T is easily my favorite 911 and the one I’d buy if I wanted a 911.
    Modern cars have gotten too fast to enjoy on real roads. Although the Carrera T is still perhaps too fast to safely explore the limits, it’s generally just right for an occasional burst of spirited driving and the short-throw shifter is a huge part of the experience.
