It is allways an absolute privilege to sit down to one of your videos James. You one of the few down to earth YouTubers who can give a relatively unbiased opinion on a car. Keep up the great work it’s much appreciated,
Mac

I was genuinely smiling all the way through this review. Wonderful little car.

[chrisrumble]

My personal favourite model of Porsche.

I love a good box as much as the next person who was born in the early 80s but man, imagining a time when the roads were filled with cars with these sorts of lines and shapes, makes me feel wistful for a time i never experienced. Beautiful car. 😍

Many years ago, I drove a 356A along the old A14. The car just flowed along the road, no fuss, no bother - afterwards my travelling companion and I worked out that for the last 50 miles of the journey, we'd averaged 80 once going over 100mph!
Of course, the roads were pretty much free of traffic, very few speed restrictions and no cameras at all. But just the same, what a trip,
and what a magnificent car.

The 356 in my opinion is a beautiful art piece of a car

The joys of low powered low torqued light cars, as they are closer to pedalling but without actual effort, just patience.

Once you're at 50mph in a stretch and throw top gear in, transmission whines a bit, car starts to shake, to wander over patches and bumps, noise gets into the cabin, and you feel like having just approached Hunaudieres in a '60s le Mans, heading towards 360kph.

Straights never end and you eventually brake late for bends, going down each gears heel and toeing.

I was heading down the A928 towards Dundee one fine Tuesday afternoon last July, and had just crossed over the A94 just south of Glamis Castle. Suddenly a red Porsche 356 flashed past the other way showing an impressive turn of speed on a twisty section of road. Just as I was thinking what a rare sight that was, I rounded the bend to see James standing there, camera in hand. Then it all made sense.
HeyJames, glad to see you enjoyed the A928 as much as I do. It doesn’t go on forever, but it’s a sweet little stretch of road with some amazing views. Have really enjoyed all the Porsche content over the last few weeks.

Living close to Stuttgart, I am intrigued by Porsche's (early) history. What a great car the 356 is, a true Wirtschaftswunder masterpiece.

[markhood]

ive liked this video for 2 reasons....1 for how beautiful this car is
2. thrashing that Suzuki in a 50+ year old car...utterly brilliant

[Richard-Bullock]

I could not be more envious that you got to drive a 356. I would dearly love to drive one myself.

[AlisonAZ]

Thanks for the nice review and scenery. I had one of these, a 1965 356C - silver with red interior. Got it new. Wish I still had it.

What a beaut! The shade and sex appeal of 50s lipstick on wheels. It does clash with that shirt though (the anti- sex-appeal device), in a way the 993 turbo didn't. Also, this car has about the same power and weight as my old VW Polo, but looks like it's a million times more fun to drive. A back-to-back comparison with a boring car of the same power and weight would be enlightening as to what makes a car great to drive.

7:16 was the spirit of Clarkson voicing his displeasure with this "glorified beetle"

[steetonsales]

Has to be the nicest looking car on earth ! simply beautiful looking design, thank you.

[chriscushing]

I had a 356B and miss it dearly. Every one I’ve driven has been an absolute sweetheart of a car. My personal favorite Porsches.

[eze]

Fine looking classic car. Price did show how much of a bargain the E - Type Jag was. Great that both cars exist.

[robinoconnor]

Love these cars back in the seventies, yes im that old, a chap I knew bought a runner for £300 and used it for grass tracking, it sat in his farm yard rotting away for years.

[jrwarner]

Not only was it produced the year I was born, but it is an absolutely a beautiful Motor...thanks for the content Jay, appreciate it, Mate, from across the pond!!

[AndyRRR]

Absolutely I'm counting the number of "absolutely"s in James' videos. Currently I'm at 5, 342, 130...
