Manumatics are fun, they are manual when you want it and automatic when you dont, i think they are just as good if not better than a manaul transmission
@OpMike - You're half-way right. It's about what the individual buyer wants out of a car. Your statements seem to knock the purchasing of sports with automatics in its entirety, instead of just for your own case. Frankly, that comes across as juvenile.
Okay, but this is a sports car, and a Porsche no less. I didn't say I wouldn't enjoy an automatic, I'm stating that I think a proper manual is the better route to go with a car such as this. It's about the feel, the driving experience, and connection between the driver, the automobile, the road. I wouldn't want a Porsche with numb, electronic steering with no feedback or lifeless suspension. Much of that connection is lost with an auto, and I don't want to lose anything when buying a Porsche.
they should take this video off, or just change it for another one - cus it is probably sold by now. But then again, its worth watching anyway for his face at 8:46 :P
Frankly, I think it's really silly to have this whole auto versus stick shift attitude. I have several cars; some are stick, some are auto. And I enjoy them all.
I know everybody's got their personal taste but.. Why on God's earth somebody wants to have one's Carrera S in a colour of women's lingerie.. Makes my personal favourite car look gay.. xD
was that a grand national GNX i saw in the background
i think, im starting to get to know my way around chicago, watching all these great reviews of yours ;-)
Beautifully crafted car and lovely drive. Only personally prefer the 6 speed manual.🇬🇧
@@TheFarinared i appreciate you replied to my 9 year old comment :) i would prefer the 6 speed in this model also
This guy really does a great job reviewing cars. Most car reviews are terrible and always miss important points.
review that old white car, looks like a buick but i dont know exactly what it is
One of my favorite porsches!
I just noticed after all of this time, you edit with imovie, is that right?
How reliable are these 997 Porsches & how much should I be looking at spending on a well maintained 2006 Carrera S?
+Lanre Oladejo right at $35-45k, depending on mileage.

This engine sounds so much better than the 991
why would u buy an "s" with a automatic??
amen. I don't understand why you would want a excellent sportscar with a traditional auto.
Gorgeous sound! And it's not even a Turbo-- wow!

5:15......just set it....and forget it!!
Red is not a nice colour for the 911, i prefer black
Very nice car, too bad it's automatic. Also, it doesn't look right in red
lol build quality of a Mercedes no way the same its like comparing a ford to a bmw lol some car dealers have no clue the 911 fare superior
lol. all the vids show him just smacking the car into gear.
car fax prolly says its been in an accident,lol
Come on, a 911 with a tiptronic?
Ugh, that pretty much sucks the life out of a Carrera S.
These auto Porsche's make me sad :(
Oh, it's an automatic ... ...
35,000 @ATLconner
very nice porsche but I wouldnt buy a 911 unless its iin white.
red Porsche again....
LMFAO
I guess that would make you gay, not the car. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
