Omg, you are back. I’m so glad to see it!!!

Guido, fantastic to see you back again, you've been missed and to hear your candid, frank, honest words from the heart in your reviews is unmatched, your review on the original 991.1 GTS was the reason when I was making a decision to buy two one, PDK GTS and one C4S manual an now you confirm again why I love them so much and made the right decision. The sound and driving experience of the normally aspirated Porsche can never be duplicated,

Man its so nice to see you back!!! Grand Tour for jokes, Top Gear for Chris Harris and The Getawayer for ACTUAL quality journalism.

Though I disagree with your assessment of the new 991.2, it was still another wonderful video. I’ve owned my manual transmission, 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera since 08/24, use it as my daily driver, and think it is an exciting car to drive, particularly in 3rd & 4th gear. This is my fourth Porsche with the most recent past model being a normally aspirated, manual, 2016, 2.7 Cayman. The amount of get up and go due to the extra torque makes up for any excitement lost from the previous 911. Keep up the great work with your videos and have a very Merry Christmas.

I appreciate your honest reviews, you're one of the few in your business that do that

Good to see you back!!! Beautiful, insightful review. You must know we all want to see the gt3 review with english subtitles. Say, tell us more about your new job please. Thanks!!

Welcome back!

You asked for comments:

Drove the 911.2 GTS at the press launch in South Africa, including some track work. A fantastic product when it comes to all measurable data. Chassis setup beyond sweet. It actually felt no slower than a 991.1 GT3 on the track, and easier to drive really fast due to the torqier engine. However, you just cannot help missing the thrill of the naturally aspirated engines. The new one may be signficantly faster, but lacks in immidiacy of response, sound, does not really reward being revved out, etc. For me, emotion is much more important than outright pace, so I would choose a used GTS or Carrera S with the naturally aspirated 3.8 engine any day.

I also generally believe sports car manufacturers now have to downplay the importance of speed and focus on fun: That means skinnier tyres, smaller engines, lower weight. Make the cars feel dramatic at speeds that will not put you in jail! Very curious about what Renaultsport has created with the Alpine A110 (although it is also turbocharged).

Respekt für die ehrlichen Worte. Ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit das Auto-Journalisten so offen ihre Meinung kundtun.

Welcome got "your" car over here in Canada and I'm loving it. A 2016 991.1 GTS manual. With reviews like this it should make it a collector car in no time! lol, thanks.

Great to have you back! It is so refreshing to have someone voice exactly what we are thinking! Keep it up and please do videos even with the GT3 touring or 911R!

[danailhristov]

You are back! Thank you! I've waited so long for a real driver to review properly a porsche...

[OllieC]

Another request for subtitles here Guido! I bought a Golf R after watching your review (and some others). So much cooler than our UK ‘YouTubers’ and now a fully fledged journalist to boot. Congrats, dude.

First comment in over 4 years: PLEASE POST MORE ENGLISH REVIEWS HERE! You are the best. A clear enthusiast, with good comments, and opinions. I miss you!

[richardcarlton]

Great video with thoughtful commentary on the 911 3.0 turbocharged engine. Thanks for posting it. I’ve got a manual GT3 coming in January and would appreciate it if you could add English subtitles to your Autobild review of the GT3. Thanks and I look forward to your next video.

YOUR BACK! We all missed you! Now get back to those amazing reviews!

[ZaDude]

So great to see you back Getawayer! An honest auto YouTuber with some straight-forward, non -biased content! Welcome back!

[joetacchino]

PLEASE put subtitles on your GT3 video!

[stewartnagle]

Glad to see a new video, feels like it has been forever! Now lets see that GT3 vid!

[blackfunkydrummer]

Thank you for the honest review! I just got a 911 Carrera GTS, 2016 the other day and that engine is FIRE! I heard mixed reviews about the more friendlier greener environment twin turbo model and stayed away from that. Glad I did after this review!
