PORSCHE 911 992 CARRERA REVIEW | Is this all the 911 you need?

The differences between the Carrera and the Carrera S for the current 992 generation of Porsche 911 have brought them closer together than ever before, so is now the time to give up on the thinking that you shouldn't go any lower then the Carrera S model when buying a new 911?

Thanks to Porsche GB for the loan of "A 911" for this video.

Good stuff! Just ordered the base model today. My first 911!

For once the YT algorithm showed me an actual underrated gem of a channel!
Just a relatable and humble style of behavior, I dig it!

Fantastic review! I’ve been driving Porsches for 40+ years as my daily drivers and all of them have been base models! They give me everything I want in a sports car that is useable every day.

I always buy my Porsche in the base model configuration. The best value proposition.

Great review. I have a 997 gen 2 base Carrera, albeit with a good few optional extras. I do agree, the base is more than enough car for most people and shouldn't be overlooked. It's plenty fast enough with 345bhp for the road, never mind a 385bhp version with more torque that you tested. I would say though Porsche should make a sports exhaust and sports chrono standard on all cars nowadays.

The perfect real world review of my dream car. No ego BS playing to teenage boys. Thank you 🍻

Awesome video! Thanks so much for your insights!

I have base 992 and completely agree with all of your comments, the S is a license killer on U.K. roads.

Excellent review.
I just LOVE sorting through the comments and picking out the Magazine Cowboys….
“You can’t get a wizmalink option on a base.”
“I’d never drive anything without a 12 speed manual.”
“I just ordered a 2026.”
Ah, the trailer park is rock’in today !!!

The auto gearbox is the best thing about the car, it's s9 smooth and the paddles are so tesponsive. 360 camera is essential for parking.

Great review love this 992 and would go for the base Carerra in white with a few extras, just need to win the lottery!

The 'base' 992.1 Carrera is so good. In some ways it is the best in the entire line-up. Get it without the sports exhaust, it sounds wonderful. Less really is more. The S is also really good. I do think the 992.2 Turbo S will be really good as well, but I might have delete PDCC

[jameshamilton]

Wow, what a fantastic, sensible and honest review.

[johannespeters]

Well explained and authentic. Including diffrences base vs S. Has been a pleasure to listen. Thank you.

I own a good spec base model in Agate grey, the S is no good as a daily in the UK it will end up in a ditch when it’s wet or greasy, the power delivery of the base model is good for year round use 👍 great review

I think this one also have the leather package which is like 5000usd in North America.

Stunning car to say it is a basic model, especially in White. Crying out for yellow calipers if I owned it

Great review - I've ordered a base 911 Carrera which will be a 992.2 with delivery in 2024. Don't yet know what the new models will be like, how many will be hybrids etc.

Very good point about the steering wheel being the touch point of the car.

Was considering and drove a Tacan but feel a 911 is the better option as more and more cars become electric, unfortunately the UK just doesn't have the infrastructure with many public chargers aways broken and costing practically as much a petrol. Currently have a Tesla Model 3 and even the Supercharging network is now not an incentive as it's opened up to other brands - too many Audis and BMWs parking poorly meaning you can't access the chargers.

I don't have kids, just my girlfriend and a dog will be in the car so I feel a 911 is perfect. Previously had 2 Caymans and a Cayenne so I'm also familiar with the sort of space Porsches offer.

Im ordering my 911 this weekend after having reserved a build slot early in the year. Finaly my slot is here. Im ordering a S rwd. Why S? Because i want a manual and Porsche force you into the S. Thats their fault not mine. Id have considered a standard 911 if i could get it w/ the gate.
