I considering purchasing a Ford Focus, but after viewing this video, I will go for a Porsche 911 GTS. Thank you Doug
What an upgrade lol
If that's true, what do you do for a living? And are you hiring? Lol
If you're under 60 and single... You're better off with the Focus & a puppy.
I was thinking a Nissan Sentra myself but whaddya know? I'm now going to stop buying lemon pepper wings and strawberry fanta for a month and get this car.
ahh yes the focus RS
For an extra $1,500 they’ll remove the floor mats for weight savings! 😂
Your comment took a weird turn.
Another guy stole your comment FYI
Did you just eddit your comment from 2000 to 1500 b/c you got called out for stealing? Lol
@@alexanderwebb1407 No, his was the original one, it was stolen by another guy
@@alexanderwebb1407 This was the original comment
I liked how when he was driving by another Porsche he said “that’s pretty cool” 18:40
@@Lee-1 oh no, this is my comment. You can tell because my name is next to it. Let me know if you would like any more hints and tips in the world of UA-cam!
Instead of hard launches and engine sounds, he drives around and talks about its market position. He’s a true Porsche fan 😜
Ahhh, yes. A 911 for every budget... except affordable.
you can get a 1999 one for 32k or a 1988 one for 48k
not cheap but definitely doable
I guess that for people with money these are like corollas, so affordable is subjective.
@@anakinskyguy6582 porsche are rich people daily driver
@@shay4261 Yeah, but the maintenance will make the price to eventually add up.
The Boxster is the answer if you want something affordable
Porsche has always been a little more than the typical Sports car… but the pricing has gotten out of hand, especially options which are almost must have items. Add just a few things to this and you are pushing $170,000. It's ridiculous
Exactly why I no longer support them. The price is not comparable to the performance on all the models except the turbo line and those cost more than a Huracan
It hurts me so much to agree with this but here we are...the prices are horrible and yet that is unfortunately part of the reason why they are as successful as they are. Same goes for any other type of luxury item. Same (almost) can be said about Ferrari. Surely there are other examples as well but this is what came into my mind.
Yea and GTS seems to be a good bargain compared to C4S when the usually performance options you want to add anyway. Way too expensive but I think even with that price tag, it would still be kinda hard for Porsche to recoup the R&D costs. Sadly sports cars just don't make money these days.
only the filthy rich will be allowed to own automobiles. coming soon to a Democratically elected Tyranny near you.
Actually its still a relative bargain if you don’t click too many boxes. Check the pricing in Asia and Canada they are about double.
Lesser known fact - Doug still works at Porsche and is an undercover journalist.
Kudos to reviewing your 5th Porsche 992 911
After watching A LOT of reviews I never understood why we needed a 911 GTS between the Carrera S and the GT3/Turbo, I watch Doug's video and it makes so much sense now 🙌✨
I really like the cleanliness of the exterior. It doesn't have all sorts of cuts, dips, and scifi-looking bits making it look like a video game car.
agreed, i personally hate those new nostril vent things on the hood of the new gt3
Yes! Too many modern exotic cars looks like athletic shoes with random colors and pieces everywhere.
It looks a lot better
It's perfect right now. Literally nothing could make it better.
@@dasgoat76 yup
Porsche spent decades refining the 911s design and styling just for doug to give it a 7/10 😂
And he does it while dressed like a kid on a field trip to the beach 😂
So you hate some person having an opinion? This is UA-cam, not twitter.
The 911 really is not the best looking car. Probably the worst looking sports/super car at all of its price points
@@KM-mt5gx I'm not a Twitter user lol
@@camogap7392 you act like one.
Doug DeMuro is on the ball on this one. Thank you Doug for this excellent and indepth review. Can't wait for my GTS on order. 🙏💪
My parents used to tell me always that the goal shouldn't be to look rich, but to be rich.
You are right.
Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for

I agree
It looks a bit plain and boring, not that great looking
@@stellar6643 Ah I see, you’re the guy that loves big spoilers, diffusers, skirts, splitters and other aero bits everywhere
@@stellar6643 it looks absolutely amazing!
@@stellar6643 hear it from a designer. porche makes some of the most beautiful cars ever made.
I love how they’ve pretty much kept this car the same for over 50 years in terms of it shape. True German engineering they just keep sharpening the blade instead of forming a whole new blade.
So send mir Schwoba!
@@nica711 If you actually have the skills to work on current generation engines of any manufacturer, you most likely have a bunch of specific tools. Otherwise get a air-cooled 911. Simple, Beetle based Engines. Easy to work on.
@@nica711 To be honest: I never drove a US or JP manufactured car and accepted the fact that, over the years, you can't even change a tiny light bulp without removing the whole front lights (except for workvans). This is a problem you get with almost every car model from every european brand. Concerning the brake jobs you mentioned: you are absolutely right. Completely unnecesarry. But overall there's not much left to do on new cars for somebody who learned in the 80s or 90s. At least not in the engine bay. In Germany even the official term "car mechanic" changed to "car mechatronic" in the early 2000s and apprenticeship in that workfield focused more and more on electronics and software based workflow (odb). That's why i drive a 1986 Opel Monza.
When it comes to
modern cars, these days mechanics (those at dealerships in particular) are just parts swappers. Their MO is to fire the parts cannon at everything and charge the customer $$$$ for it.
They got it right the first time. Unlike cars like the corvette, which they have to reinvent every generation. Newest one isnt even a corvette anymore. Changed engine location, new interior, new exterior, etc.
Although I am an aficionado of 50s and 60s US steel, I have driven a Carrera 4 and I will say there is a reason these cars come with the high pricetag. They are built and feel like nothing else. Amazing automobiles
Finally an in depth video, can always trust your vids, love the cupholder feature honestly. Im on the waitlist for a GTS right now and im stoked
Does it work like de gt3 and rs? Where you need to be approved by Porsche or?
@@alessandrodejongh7147 no they sold me one as a first time buyer I just had to do a big deposit
@@RandomYogi007 ah okay thnx
So let me get this straight.
Paint is $3300
Stitching in a color that matches the paint is $4500
...??
It does seem a tad bit expensive
Its only costs that much if you’re stupid enough to pay for ‘stitching’
@@gg_v2 just a tad
My dad got the $4500 red stitching and I can say it looks pretty bad ass
Porsche numbers
I think the beauty of this car is that if you’re looking to get a car to just enjoy. Enjoy performance, enjoy comfort, enjoy luxury, enjoy aesthetics. You get it all. You can still impress your friends and enjoy the car
But, a lot of the public has the assumption that rich snobby boss characters drive them. But once you get into respectable unbiased people, many seem to have at least one porsche and say its fun to drive, solid, sticks to road, etc with great performance, just a heavy repair bill... but still, if you have money its been legit for years, it has to mean something.
Why do you need to impress your friends?
@@19581998 for the fun of it. Not about showing off but to share the experience. Guess i could have worded it better
You can just enjoy the base version. This is just asking more money for little in return.
I have a feeling that getting one of these with a manual transmission would be the investment of a lifetime. Don't think they'll be sold as much but that only means they'll become very desirable as time goes on
cars aren't investments
Don’t count on it; but it would be a great machine to own nonetheless
@Renny the Senpai no they aren’t when you take into account insurance maintenance tax etc even if it does rise you won’t recoup what it cost you over the years, quick flip with gt cars yes waiting for the market no
Always wonder why people call buying cars an investment
@@AD-oy8nm say that to the owner that sold Vintage VW Kombi Van for $ million
Great Videos Doug!!!Keep up the good work..
Love how Doug's casually passing an older 991 and not even mentioning it :D
Because he was paid to not notice anything else🤣
Cool factor 6?😂 I understand that you live in Cali but if I show up in my city with one of these I'll be the coolest guy ever
Thissssss is a perfect car review :) Thank you Doug for this video
My dad just got a new Carrera 4 GTS. He got black everything, and tinted the windows 15% too. The car looks like a spaceship going down the road. It's like nothing Ive ever seen
From 3.2 to 3.1 secs is basically the same acceleration, no difference at all. The important thing here is that they are fast... very fast.
Be sure too Cheak out cars and bids

@Lee Iacoca You're always aging, genius.
911 Prices have just gone through the roof. A Carrera used to cost below 100k now you can option one out to nearly 200k, a Turbo S fully loaded is almost 300k, crazy.
Yeah 10 years ago a well optioned turbo was below $150k
Inflation, supply and demand. None of this comes as a surprise
Everything is nuts. You can option a Honda Civic Type-R to $50k…

@@O8Zen Yikes bruh. Why would it be stupidity if someone wants to spend large amounts of money? It ain't yours
In GTS form, both the 992 and 991.2 are the peak 911 in so many ways.
If I were to buy a 911, I'd most likely go for a gts - it seems to be the perfect street sports car as far 911s go
I would go for the base carrera. Plenty accessible power
Turbo s
@@sohotimhot7975 @Rita
Why does UA-cam not do anything about this?
still think turbo s is the flagship 911 for the road but it is kind of too much for everyday use
Yes plus a back seat for the kiddos to enjoy as well
The details in your reviews and final scores is why I subscribe.
Me too!
I really miss Doug going through each category of the Doug Score
Great review, I detail these cars for a living and I didn’t know the seat inserts were called racetek, I call it alcantara and it works great to hold you in place
I could see this having high demand in this used market 10-15 years from now, but the difficulty of engine access might keep that from happening.
Servicing late model 911’s has been done almost entirely from under the car for years, so it’s not really much different with a 992. Not a worry
Oh man, 10-15 years. That's full electric time right there.
In 10-15 years you wont be able to drive this or any gas powered car if you live in an EU country
@@dew62169 they will stop selling ice powered cars, that doesn't mean that you can't drive them anymore😂
nice , should align with my mid life crisis
Such a beautiful car ❤️ Would you take that over a 991.1 gen turbo?
I'm stuggeling to decide to take it over my 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS.. Mine has a naturally aspirated 3,8 liter engine that revs to 7800 rpm. The 992 GTS simply doesn't... It is faster and has a lot more toys.. But costs me more than a 100 grand more.
Sold my 991.1 turbo, waiting for a build slot on a GTS RWD PDK. Got drive one at Porsche centre. Similar performance, but much better handling; tight, nimble. 991.1 was a lovely old brute but starting to age.
@@silvercat7328 do you know if the wheelbase of the rwd the same as 4wd for the gts?
I chose the GTS over the Turbo for the manual. I have two 911s, both manuals. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Dude moves like a cyborg when explaining things. Like 50 times in one movement it has me crying 😂
18:41 Lmao Doug casually checking out the 991 in his side mirror
Remember when these were obtainable for people, even if they had to save up a little longer than they would for a Vette? Remember when Porsche came out with the Cayman because the 911 got too expensive and wanted to give people a chance to experience Porsche enthusiast driving bliss, and now they got too expensive as well?
Shits just too expensive.
I'm not a Vette guy, but even I will say it's an incredible performance car, and outside of scumbag stealership mark ups, it's obtainable for people. If not, you have Supra which is very OG Cayman like in experience. And now the Z, which will likely be C7 Vette like experience, just not built like trash and actually has a nicer quality interior.
LT-1 CAMARO. A Corvette for $35k
It's the only way to set the marquee apart anymore. All other car companies can match or beat the performance/styling so the snob factor is all that there is left really....so 4.5k for matching stitching it is!!🙄
Comparing a 911 to a vette is pretty stupid tho
@@MonicaHolly143 not anymore
@@psayre33 just becuz corvette are mod engine doesnt mean it handles well it is way behind...... corvette even said that u have to adjust the camber ur self to have a decent handling in the track
Corvette cant even come close into matching bmw in handling what makes u think they can match 911 lol
Doug has mastered the art of making the tease more interesting than the video you're watching.
The best Porsche reviewer I’ve watched.
Thanks man
Awesome..love that paint job.. CHALK...even a base version with zero options is still an incredible car..911s are that good..MANUAL GEAR BOX AND RED SEAT BELTS
Hey, Doug! Why don't you go through the Doug Score scores one by one anymore? Those were some of my favorite parts! I liked to hear your reasoning. Anyway, still fin to watch. Good to see you going strong.
He still does length videos reserved for individual models. Shorter videos where he just features a new trim or refresh don't get the full doug score
Thank you! I wish Doug would also spend more time about the driving experience like he used to instead of the car's infotainment system that will be outdated in 5 years.
@@tricktrapper no, he doesn't anymore. he said that listing out individual scores is a minute of watch time that could be better used showing quirks and features
Hanging onto my 996.....that was so maligned but now is FINALLY getting praises after being the last of the truly analog 911s...These newer ones are too big
They're really not.
@@thomasferrarojr.9772 Someone hasn't driven plenty 996's
@@SkylineLofe If you say so. 🙄
I love every 911 ever made... Except the 996... Butt ugly inside, and out!
The 996 is a great car, but the 997 is hardly any less 'analog', and was never hated for it's looks.
Chalk exterior with the black trim looks so nice
Thanks Doug for the 991.2 GTS review! I’m looking forward to the 991.2 R!
Man, just a timeless, beautiful car. Every day I find myself more smitten with the 911- save for a few models. The sheer sleekness shows how Porsche has been able to retain this design. Any car nut has "that one" (or a few) car(s) that are held above all else- our dream car(s). Ever since I was a young man, the C3 Corvette, to me, is the sexiest car to ever exist- And my dream car. That, and a Morgan Aero 8 GT coupe. The 911 has now joined the dream car list. This goes way, way beyond looks, clearly. I finally got a Corvette (sadly, not a C3) for my 40th birthday, and I absolutely love it. By my calculations, I could have the used Porsche that I've considered buying by the time I'm about 130. I've never even driven a 911, but I am now dead set on owning one after reading from hundreds of articles and enthusiast's about how truly great they are. Point being, the Corvette is plenty reliable to last me another 90 years.
Enthusiasts drive classic Porsches. All that you read from them was about 1970-2005 porsches new one just for rich people
Nice joke anyway
My favorite 911. This is the one to buy because you can get it in a Targa, have a rear seat delete, easier to get an allocation than a GT3, and can be easily tuned to over 600 hp if you want to void the warranty
No its missing tha 4.0 straight 6. Also a turbo s cabriolet is better then this. But clearly a lot more expensive.
I prefer the GT3 just because of the N/A engine
but the GT3 has a N/A 9000rpm engine that's one of the best sounding cars ever made, plus you can also get it in manual and looks even better
@Niralok there is no straight six 911
@EveryIsnaad IsFabricated Maybe in performance, but not driving experience.
911 targa has always been my dream car. Now its the gts 4 targa. What a gorgeous well designed car.
Doug is spot on with the assessment. I’d rather buy a used GT3 RS for this kind of money and take it to the track.
The only gt3rs you are getting for 170k is a 991.1 which 3.8 has many reliability concerns.
but a GT3RS is a whole different type of car.. the GTS is the best car you can buy in the lineup, for the money. If you want to own a GT3RS, you'll need a LOT more money for maintenance, tires, fuel etc. + an extra car to daily
lol you’re not getting a 3RS for $170k
@@tkachukdan about $183k. I could show you the listing. In principle, I'm suggesting this car likely will not capture the thrill-seeking audience who has this kind of cash to burn. I think a base car, a luxury model and a race model are probably the cars that sell well.
@@essayedgar youre not wrong. The GTS is a more practical daily/racecar alternative, for the budget minded $170k car buyer. I'd definitely like to meet this person though! Lol
Doug: complains how all McClarens are the same as well as Ferrari (when they’re actually pretty distinct from one another)
Also Doug: excited to share another 992 model. There’s the s. The rs. The gt. The gts. The gt2. The gt3. The gt2r the gt3r the gt2rs the gt3rs the non s labeled one the one that has a toaster, the one that live streams boxing matches, the one that turns into a bunk bed and then this one.
Yeah but they’re 911s. They don’t try and make them another whole separate model
Because McLaren's are more expensive than Porsche's. If you're going to spend more money, the product you've bought must be unique. Unfortunately, that's not the same for McLaren because they almost all look the same.
Spaceballs the flamethrower!
@@vichs8457 I can’t tell the difference between 911’s and 992 they’re ALL the same bro. 911 Carreras like I really can’t tell the difference. Circle lights in the front. Curvy sport body design. And sleek taillights. 2 doors. Droopy roof like really they’re impossible.
I laugh every time Doug goes into his high tone Porsche "deviated stitching" owner voice.
I can’t get enough of it, love it 😂
Absolutely beautiful car! Such clean lines, yet not boring at all!
Completely agree with you, its the perfect mix of both. Just got my allocation for one
18:40 he didn’t even notice the other 911
The Porsche 911 overall is probably the very best blend of both high speed thrills and daily usability and comfort, sure a Lamborghini is faster but it's not as usable and a car like a m5 is more practical but it's not as thrilling and can't handle as well
Well said 💯🙌🏽
Actual owner here: You can spec a Carrera S and a GTS the same. They both are Carrera “S” models and it’s the options that are shared that make the difference like rear wheel steering, lowered suspension, axle lift, chassis,etc.. The option upgrade list is beyond extension for however bespoke you want to go.
Still has that awesome look. Well done Porsche for picking a solid designer.
Such a timeless design!
Am I the only person who misses the "Doug Score" with the longer commentary? I think the explanation of each category added quality content.
Orginally ordered a base 911. Somehow managed to upgrade to GTS, lot firmer and focused compared to S, feels special.
@Doug Demuro: Thank you sir, keep these beautiful machines from Stuttgart coming on your channel 👍.
Can you go back to doing the full Doug score, not just showing the chart at the end
Greatest rivalries: Doug vs the guy who cares about stitching on his porsche
The stitching is beautiful. The price they charge for it is preposterous.
I have this GTS with sport package. Absolutely special.

The whole time I'm thinking of Pushin 🅿️🤣
Dang, I am here fairly quickly lol. Dougy
@2:04 I don’t think older men just buy sports cars to relive their youth. Most older men buy sports cars because by the time they’re financially able to afford one, they’re no longer the young men they used to be. I hate the fact that society tries to demonize men & place men into boxes.... Especially when it comes to men enjoying their lives and buying what they want. According to society, if a man buys a sports car, he’s either “compensating” or “trying to relive his youth”. Fellas, enjoy your life and buy what YOU want.
You are supposed to spend your money on some high-mileage Karen. They get mad when you make money AND decide to spend it on yourself.
Right On! My wife of 32 years and I raised our 4 children ( grown and out on their own 👍) and like many of you out there made some financial concessions along the way for family matters. We are not reliving any days gone by- Merely enjoying today and what life has to offer and what We can afford! Live life people get up and move to your grove! God Bless you and whatever you decide to drive and do ENJOY
Carbon trim is optional same as for regular cars. Dark aluminum is standard for GTS. Not only brakes are from Turbo but suspension with helper springs. Suspension is -20mm, not -10 vs standard. -10 is an option. Wheels are not direcly from Turbo S but slightly narrower.
Doug always makes that voice when saying "stitching" lol. 😂
Also what a beautiful clean design. Definitely growing on me.
no other words then just this is an amazing car 🔥🔥🔥👍👍
I rented a 911 Carrera S in LA recently, and absolutely hammered it down Angeles crest and the Malibu mountain roads. I absolutely did not think it lacked sportiness haha. Maybe I’m just not as well versed as Doug, but I came away scratching my head as to the need for anything more
Lol same i rented one for a day here in tuscany, Italy and holy shit they're fast😂
Who did you rent it from?
@@TucsonDude i actually rented it from hertz in vegas.
drove it to death valley for artist road, and then drove to LA via an amazing mountain road out of death valley. i had it for four days and i didn't do any tourist stuff, i just hammered it on california mountain roads lol. got my money's worth for sure.

Oh shit, Monza Sp1 review on the way
Cant wait for the monza video
I HEAR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : o
Great review I love the GT2 & GT3 but definitely looking into the GTS as well
I’m thinking about buying one. I bought one of the first 997 GT3s and still have it, but haven’t been to the track in probably 7 years. I’m used to it for weekend getaways, but it’s always an adventure going on long road trips - it’s impossible to enjoy while grabbing liquor and groceries in unfamiliar places in unfamiliar towns and it sucks in any kind of wet weather. Scraping the front splitter is inevitable and I’m replacing it yearly. Rear tires are gone or just too diminished after about 5k miles to be safe and keep the performance the car deserves and I usually end up doing the fronts at the same time.
This car seems worth a look for a person like me, but I’m so attached to my GT3 even though I’m probably too old for it lol.
I like how Doug is slowly improving even though he doesn’t have much to even improve on to begin with. That being said I’m talking about him showing what the options look like that aren’t on this exact car which is a bonus & ive been noticing he’s been doing it more!
Had a friendly encounter with one of these while driving my 92 Integra. We were driving a twisty road together and it was so cool to see the active aero deploy while we were accelerated through corners.
LS?
amazing how you were able to try and make this video about you yet bring absolutely nothing of any meaning or value to anyone else. Did you really thing people came here to hear about you and your 92 Integra?
@@slowery43 what value does your comment provide?
Porsche is by far my favorite luxury car brand, the iconic headlights are timeless and all their cars just have such a sexy design that stands out from the crowd
Spot on review. So good, I went out and bought one yesterday
Freaking Porsche , the major cost of these cars and bonus $$$ for “the Color black” - great video Doug - I really am starting to think the GT3 is the real 911, what M2 CS is to BMW
4,500$ for grey stitching is just incredibly stupid, even for Porsche standards.
Go to porche And see How much they ding u
I rented one for a few days on vacation. Definitely won’t afford my own anytime soon… but I get it. It’s a truly sensational driving experience
Doug: Flying through a construction zone and passing cars like he's fleeing the country. lol
This is the best looking 911 Porsche has made in along time such a beautiful car 😎😍
Doug's the type of guy who reviews cool cars
That's true!
My ideal 911 would be the "base" spec Carrera with the cloth seats and manual gearbox
The problem with the price is, everything is expensive now. The "starter" homes in my area that were 150k several years ago are now 300k. It's not surprising that car prices have followed suit.
Yep when inflation happens in the economy same thing goes for car manufacturers.
And yet wages stay the same

thank you for these videos
Can't wait for the Monza SP1 🔥
Same!! It’s such an awesome and rare car.
The center lock wheels are definitely NOT faster than normal lug nuts or bolts. It’s a fairly involved process getting them on and off and torquing them properly, unless you have the $5,000+ HyTorq precision Porsche center lock gun that’s just now coming to market. And even with that tool it tightens the nut fairly slowly.
They should add the "HyTorq precision Porsche center lock gun" as an option.
@@thomasmatthew7759 it’s a new product being made by an independent company, who specializes in many other precision manufacturing tools. obsessed Garage recently made a video showing how it works.
It’s not difficult, and it doesn’t take a lot of time. It’s the difference between 2 minutes with 5 lugs and 5-10 minutes with centerlocks. I do it all the time.
The fact you can opt for the manual and that you get most of the performance upgrades you'd want makes it a great choice. Anyone complaining about a few horsepower are either planning on racing it on a track or have never driven a 911 with over 400hp. It's PLENTY. There comes a point where horsepower is unusable, and they're close to the sweet spot on this model. Hey, in 15 years I might actually consider buying this year's model so I can afford it🤣
Great job,Doug! When are you gonna reviews in the snow?
My only complaint is red calipers and that they charge $1000 to paint them black. Also wish it had 20” wheels in the rear, the staggered 21” wheels look too big.
You can't afford the car anyways, so don't worry
I own a '16 911 Carrera GTS (991). I love it! Naturally Aspirated 3.8L with 430hp. I agree with everything Doug says about the GTS.
Can’t wait for my GTS. Great review
