Never seen any reviews from that young chap before but i enjoyed it. Very decent and informative

[fiveowaf]

I think they've subtle improved the looks substantially, it looks more rounded, more like the classic 911 and the rear doesn't look as long a on the previous models. I really like it.

This “red” looks amazing. I was never a fan of red 911s but this hue is stunning.

[mariuspratz]

A great initial review of a very special car. Well done !

This was "actually" a pretty good review of the 992. With the exception of hearing that guy say the word "actually" 23 times. True. After I was about half way through, I started the video again, and "actually" counted him saying the word "actually" 23 times. Dear host of this video: do please try to modulate your use of this word, or of any one word, so many times in a short time span. It will make you seem more intelligent.

People can say what they want but these cars hold their value better than anything.

yep had a cayman and third day with the car I spilled a coffee all over the center dash!!!! cleaned it up but was a lesson learned very quickly

[ashvarma]

Thanks for sharing. No one has mentioned the lowered position of ventilation vents on the centre console which seem far from ideal. Are the vents on top of the dash adjustable and is there much air flow through them?

[elmuerko]

Great video but I disagree on the cup holding bar, I drove my 991.1 across Europe and the drinks holders were great.

[sorcererstone]

Does 2019 911 has full forward collision prevention braking as an option or only partial braking as an option?

[autobahnproven]

Active cooling vents, as far as I know were FIRST on a mass -produced Porsche with the 928S4 in the 1980s.

[kibyegon]

I saw one in person and they do look very nice

[taforth]

Actually, the 928 was the first ‘regular’ Porsche to have moving flaps

[treyquattro]

it sounds good for a twin turbo car. If only they'd put a decent 6-speed manual in the S or GTS cars (i.e. the one from the GT3) then it'd be perfect since mortals can't even get a sniff of a GT3 without decades of shoving money at Porsche for lesser cars

[bubaganoush]

Nice review - I actually think the new model looks good.

But .... Jeez ! Who colour graded the video !?! were they on acid ??!!!

[swanblake]

This was extremely well done. I like the presentation style of stating facts and then his interpretations. Enjoyed this greatly

[benyeech]

Keep on hearing the word "actually"

[aamer]

Is the rear wheel axle turning vital as an option

[pimeye]

If you are doing a comparison between the 992 and 991 appearance, it would have been useful to have both cars side by side. "I don’t know if you remember the old gear selector” - what do you think people are using every day!

[Illawarra]

If I hear, "evolution rather than revolution" one more time...
