The Basic 911: The Jewel of Porsche’s Line up?

The base is a beauty. Absolutely nothing wrong with that car at all.

I have a Turbo. I understand when people say less power is better sometimes. The turbos and above are sooooo fast that it's almost unusable anywhere but the track. Push the pedal down and you're immediately breaking the law whatever road you're on. Porsche Turbos feel like rockets when they spool.

*Almost too much power 😂😂😂

The Cayman with a true mid engine would surely be even more of a bargain with better handling?

all tests of the Carrera base version show 3.5 seconds to 100km/h, not the announced 4.2

Didn’t notice that eleven in the rear,. Like the tw in towers.

Depreciation on a base probably the key factor in not choosing a base

A $30k single motor Tesla Model 3 is a fraction of the price, a fraction of the maintenance, a fraction (20%) of the total cost of ownership, and is FASTER than this dinosaur! 🤣 Oh Porsche... your days are numbered.

Having in mine all the restriction on the road we have, as daily I'll save my 40 k for the S and take the Base one. Don't even need the chrono - I'll tick only the sport exhaust (more a matter of look then the sound) and upgrade the sound to Bose... S worth only because the manual...

I'd love to see you do the T vs the GTS in manual.

If you have a porsche, you dont look broke. Thats only thing I care about. Dont need all the bells and whistles. Baseline 911 is perfectly fine.

Thank you for this great review and the practicality of your recommendations. How comfortable is the 911 as a daily driver and how does it compare to the AMG SL?

Also, what does the '4' refer to? 🤔

Good idea for a video (though I'm still confused why you're talking about 992s while it says 911 on the number plate? 🤷‍♂ Porsche newbie here)

So cool. Even as a daily ride this is pure joy. Unfortunately not due to my own experience. :-D

Absolutely cannot hear or understand 90% of the audio.

When you pay this much of money, simple is not supposed to be. Over priced.

It's an automatic? Lol

The analogue speedo looks great unlike the new cartoonish cars.

Great informative video 👍... Err, "basic" in Porsche language is relative coz in my country, I can buy like 2 immaculate used R35 GTR for the same money to buy an immaculate used "basic" 911 😱

Thank you for the drive along. I agree...the base is a bargain.

I know this is old but would love to know your thoughts on getting 992 T or 992 S for about $20K more. Thoughts?

Best car channel

Yo how tf did you do that intro

Great video, thank you! I will buy one in 2 years max.

How is the base sound system ? I paid for the Bose upgrade and it’s terrible…..

Great vid. Most of those extras not needed are they. Everything that makes the car fun to drive is in the basic car.
Your voice hard to hear in car. Do you have a lapel mic?

Which 992 would you get as a true daily driver/tourer? Think comfort over maxing HP, 0-60 times.

Never understood why they had back seat. Sports cars should be 2 seaters not designed for a family of 4.

Thank you for promoting a VPN service without saying such nonsense like "makes your internet connection more secure!". Subscribed simply for this. :)

Wait in which universe is a 992 brand new starting under 100k? In NL basic config is like 170k

Your editing is really good. Great video. 🎉

The ultimate performance is of no interest to me, but I do want 4wd, adaptive cruise and 360 cameras. They’re not that far over budget at the moment.

Would gladly trade my Renault captur for a basic 911😂

This is a great way to review Porsches.

992 has a terrible, small engine. Last good 911 was the 991.1.

Porsche has never won the Indy 500

Buya 2nd hand one.

“Sounds so good for a modern car “ 🤣😂. There are better sounding vacuum cleaners .

i want to be your friend. you can magically upgrade my 911 to whichever model you want 🙂
and you make a cool sound while doing it!!

If anyone in the comment section is considering buying one of these is and is questioning if you should individually built your car and wait vs picking one already at the dealer. Do the smart thing and wait. You will regret not doing it.

If it's the one to have ? Is it the one that you have?

I’ve been saving my nickels and dimes for my retirement car, the basic rear wheel drive 911. I thought i was alone in appreciating the simplicity of it. Very glad to find your vid, well done.

my config for the S model came to 142k and the base came to 125k both with Aero Kit. Not sure which way to go.

More interesting test would've been base 718 Cayman vs up-spec'd 992 S. Both rear drive, even bigger gap between price.

Certainly the best daily driver. Love mine. My buddy with his “S” felt like he couldn’t leave his driveway without a ticket. Had plenty of options inside, PDK, GPS etc.

I think the base Carrera looks awesome. Probably fun to drive because you can let it all hang out. I've had a black on black turbo s new since 2018.

One of the best review ever. Thanks for producing this video.

Funny thing is most of the specs look the same so the average person isn’t going to know if it’s a base or a turbo S lol
