naturally aspirated mid engine + rwd + manual = all the car you will ever need...well done Porsche

This is a very good video and was very instrumental in me purchasing my GT4. Two notes for those interested:  
1. The sport button is simply an auto blip button. It does not change any of the performance of the car besides the auto blip. The car is always in a sport mode.  
2. The carbon seats I have found to be extremely comfortable and they are all the business. It was a six hour drive home from the Porsche dealership where I bought the car and I had no complaints. However that is personal preference. Others may find the seat a bit uncomfortable.  
As for the fun and sound factor - this video does it great justice. This car is the best car I have ever driven and it sounds absolutely glorious.

This guy is by far one of the best & most entertaining reviewers out there... no doubt about it.

This is a great car review. I wasn't screamed at. You didn't try to impress with stupid burnouts. No blaring music. No quick editing. You did not babble on.
Thank you!

1. Sport button doesnt change throttle response and 2. It definitely isn't quiet or liveable even with buttons turned off, it's always hardcore (which is a good thing)

You guys are like Top Gear, a good review, but with a bit of passion. Keep up the great work!

XCar has honestly been putting out some of the absolute best content on YouTube this year. Even much better than many bigger Channels like /Drive.

This is hands down the best video XCar has ever made, Alex felt like he meant every word he said and enjoyed every minute he got to spend with the car. I can´t say that of many other videos in this channel. Though they are all great.

According to the head of gt department the sport button does nothing other than turn on and off rev match. They didn't have time/money to implement true changes with the sport button.

as a gt4 owner for the last 14 months I have to say your review and comments are bang on the money. well done!

I loved 911's, I still do, but honestly they've changed to the point that they just seem so bla.  I think they are getting bigger and it's loosing the appeal that it once had with me.   When the Cayman first came out I hated it.  Now I really love it because it reminds me of what the 911 used to be.

GT4, one of my realistic dream cars! Stunning looks, Porsche quality, short throw manual gearbox, detuned Carrera S engine (385 hp). What can go wrong, and what more could you possibly need?

[cantavukcuoglu]

I bet my both arms and legs, with shorter gears that thing can fly 0 to 62 in under 4 secs.

That’s an awesome piece of engineering & art. Beautiful, a true drivers car.

This guy totally reminds me of Richard Hammond by way of his voice, tone and inflections. Very much a top gear feel to him. And THAT'S a good thing!

These things will never be affordable for youngsters.
Even used ones in 10 year won't go down in price, only way is up.

[DaBrute]

The super long gear ratio was just Porsche's clever way of holding the car back and protecting the 911

[zocdefmek]

The GT4 has to be the best looking Porsche ever made, possibly even beating the 918. It just all works so well together.
