I started an international project management software company 22 years ago and sold it a couple of years ago so I’m just a TH-camr now …

Awesome yes!

True story

Thanks ! Like and subscribe ;)

Yup but we stopped over for multiple nights at each location . It’s a long way to come from Nee Zealand (30 hours flying each way) so it wasn’t just a driving trip :)

@@9and3 haha yes understandable;)

What’s frustrating you about it being a daily ? For me it’s probably just the huge fuel consumption 😂 I do have an electric mini I sometimes use for fun (although my daughter usually uses it). This was one thing I did like about the Audi Etron GT - free energy (power is free at night on my plan so it cost nothing to run).

Yeah I agree, I wonder why porsche spec them. Keen to try the DSG controller

Good call - I have Michelin Pilot sports on all my other cars and love them. Porsche put 4 new factory approved tires on when I got the car not because the old ones were worn (they had only done 8000km) but because they were 4 y old and to give a factory warranty the tyres need to be less than 4y old. I won’t take long to wear them down tho :) I’m wanting to put some miles on this car and enjoy it !

@@9and3 I got mine with P Zeros, switched to PS4S, difference in grip is massive especially in the wet.

Yeah someone else gave that tip and it works well. Porsche did check the spring and said it was fine but my water bottle was “too heavy” for it making it swing. Minor issue I really love the car !!

Great to have this confirmed - I’ve only driven a 992 C4S and a GT3 Touring but when I get back into my 991.2 I just love the feel of everything in the cabin, takes me back to classic porsche just enough to remind me of the heritage and history with the simple tried and tested layout. Oh and I got to the bottom of the creaking noise - was the back seats rubbing and not correctly adjusted - nothing major so I’m happy again :) This car always puts a smile on my face when I get inside , I find myself just sitting in it in the garage sometimes for no reason at all!

@@9and3 I think this 991.2, particularly Touring and Turbo S will become really collectable in the future as the last great porsches, we're also seeing now carmakers not focusing on speed but leaning towards user experience as an average EV can now blow the doors of top sportscars, and exotic cars will go back to tactility (see the new Bugatti) but it will be hard with current regs

Good points, keep your 991 cars I think they will be much sought after in the future for the reasons you state. I've started looking at same gen GT4 RS cars now, I've gone down a rabbit hole LOL

Thanks ! I dont think you can go too wrong with the 997 although I've not driven one yet

Yeah I love it, it was one of the launch specs with the cream seats. Looks so good in the sunshine...

Thanks that helps for sure but the service tech said it is broken and will fix it . Spring had gone

Yeah good tip I just set mine to do that 👍🏼

Crazy which country are you in? We dont have quite those kind of crazy rules in NZ! Sure some of the RS porsche cars are limited in numbers and so get offered to the bigger spending customers. Nobody needs that many Taycans, the depreciation on them is INSANE... Yeah find a low milage 991.2 :)

I agree, and for exactly the same reason I think I'll always keep my 488 because the new Ferraris are all going haptic even on the steering wheel (yuck) and replacing dials with screens. This is NOT what driving is about IMO! Its a shame brands like Ferrari and Porsche dont see this and really embrace quality dials and switches - make that their new point of difference..

@@9and3 Agreed again👍😎 Yep, I’d keep that beautiful F-car, too! Cheers/B

Thanks 🙏🏼

Thanks! and what an honour to be compared to Tom Hartley LOL, I've done probably 25,000km in the 2 years I've owned the 488 and I really need to do a video on it cause like with this Turbo S, there really is nothing to complain about, I actually think 488 may just be the best bang for buck Ferrari you can currently buy (including all the new ones)

@@9and3I cannot understand why your views are as low as they are, you’re great! You stand out and have a very likeable manner. With what you’re putting out it can’t be that long before your videos get big numbers. My £40,000-£65,000 budget has an R8 and a 911 at the top of the list so I’ll check your videos on those. Iistwning to interviews with Carl Hartley, he said the 911 Turbo was boring, it does the same thing every time your drive it, Ferrari on the other hand is an experience, has more passion and you feel engaged. The 911’s a great car but it doesn’t surprise you, you don’t need any real skill, the car does it all for you. What you’ve said about the difference between the 4s and Turbo S is exactly what I wanted to know so thank you. 🙏

@@machohogan Thanks! yeah I hope the views keep growing its great fun talking cars! The R8's are good buying right now, especially the Gen 1 which is my fav, and a manual is a must have.. I honestly think the R8's are at the bottom of their price curve now and given Audi have stopped making them they can only go up. I've got a very low km (24,000km) 2009 Gen 1 R8 Manual in Sprint Blue which I must review, full carbon options and blade which I really love. Its so new it still has the factory smell and when I got it (ex UK) it still had some of the plastic protection wrapping on the door sills.. You'll see some pix on my instagram "drive9and3"

We have a lot of 911's in NZ to be fair, they are pretty common, and I guess liked - you just dont attract anywhere near the attention you do in say an R8 or a Ferrari. The matrix lights in the e-tron GT were pretty spectacular, today driving into my garage in the dark the 911 actually failed to dip at oncoming cars several times which I never found in the Audi. Its still pretty dam good, I'm nit picking on small details here!

Ok!

Thanks for that and yes I think Porsche are moving towards building an iPhone on wheels quicker than we might all like..

Yeah the colour and spec sold me and I got it site unseen over trademe. Love that car.

@@9and3I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on a car regardless of the Marquee, I’m very happy with my Porsche Cayman GTS but a 911 991.2 turbo s is definitely a future maybe!

@@smiffyLevel6 Worth checking out F cars like the 430 and the 360 cause they are amazing and the prices are down lower than this 991.2 Turbo S is selling for currently. Depends what you're after, I wouldn't daily drive a Ferrari but I'd take the Ferrari out every weekend over the 911.

I found the setting! deep in the menu as you mention.. Not sure how I missed it TBH but its working great now.

Yes the Plaid is pretty nuts, heck my model 3 performance is nuts at around 3s to 100kph (feels faster than that in reality). Electric cars a like driving a rollercoaster on the road!

wow thats really good to know. Is this an aftermarket software / hardware solution? where do you get it from?

For some reason my previous reply didn’t save. Maybe because I added link. Company is called DSC Sport. They make plug-and-play devices for many Porsche models and other makes. Very popular. I’ve put these in multiple of my cars same time as having geo done properly by someone that knows what they are doing, to make sure everything is pointing in right direction for your driving style, now with better compliance too. This will give optimum suspension for this very powerful car. Match this with good tyres for your needs (eg Michelin vs Pirelli). Surprising how many people drive with old or mismatched tyres (also looking at date stamps).

Still under a Porsche warranty which is why I'm trying to get it resolved.

​​@9and3 lower control arm bushes are known to deteriorate regardless of mileage....fwiw I feel your pain re Police incident mine was 137 and he was grumpy to boot..Great video btw

@@stevejames9507 Thanks and good to know about the arm. I played the cancer card and got it reduced to 120kph but yeah the radar didn't go off till he was passing me and fully mufti with no big areal on the back of the car.. Wide open road, perfect conditions... Its all too easy to gather speed in this car without realising it..

Himm I wonder why they changed it. There must be a totally different system - or mine needs a software update . I’ll ask porsche tomorrow when I take it in for the creaking

@@9and3 No it does remember your AC settings. You need to enable the option through the instrument cluster computer, its not on the PCM unit.

@@fullwerkes ahh good to know, I'll keep looking for it! so far havent managed to save it yet.

My 2018 991.2 remembers the temp. It's done that since I bought it new. I have gone through two sets of pilot sport 4s and I think the road noise is fine for such a wide tire. Mine also does the ert ert noise when it adjusts the suspension. The dealer called that normal. Interestingly, I only notice it when it's stationary and I'm getting in or out, not when I'm driving. I agree on the brakes, they are fantastic. It has more understeer than I would like, but the stability control does a really good job when you need it. The four-wheel steering is great for low speed turning radius, but it can be frustrating trying to back it up and it is steering the rear wheels. Don't completely fill the windshield washer reservoir. It will puke on the lower front fender and door with spirited driving if you do. I have asked the dealership if there's any updates on the firmware for the Porsche and they claim there's been none.

@@wardkarns Good comments, and great tip on the washer reservoir! Thanks.

Thanks and I’ll try that!

It’s a bit annoying that the driver needs to actively press two buttons every time they want to save one of the many car settings to the key. When I got mine I couldn’t work out why so many things reset every time I got back into the car. Other cars have auto saved whenever a setting was changed. Porsche obviously decided it should be physical action. It’s the same on other Porsche models like my previous 997. Drove me mad until I realised! Now I’m used to it, so it’s fine. But I still forget sometimes.

@@TobyD Can't get it to save on mine but I'll chat with Porsche today..

Good to know - still under warranty so I’ll get that fixed

I think if you close the long horizontal trim piece (that opens to reveal the cup holder), it should stop it from swinging. Give it a try.

He csnt possible not have figured that out lol? That's what makes the cupholder so nice! ​@@eric.frasch

@@theosiegstolz3991 if you watch the video, at 14:16 the shot shows it open, so I don’t think he knows.

Thanks! I'll look at that soon and report back.

Just looked and I only have the unlock drivers door / unlock drivers and passenger with key options, nothing about drive away and auto lock.

​@@9and3 Hmmmm..so on mine in the circular dash display I go to Settings>Locking>door lock>[options: off/after ign on/after drive off]. That said I do have the 'entry & drive' package but I thought that was just about the key fob rfid and not needing to insert it into the switch, seems odd that it would affect locking behaviour. In the same screen menu (Locking) the options are: Door Unlock, Door lock, Mirror retract, Comfort entry, Auto memory. I think I pushed the selector when I was on display showing the bar gages (boost, temp, pressure, etc.)

@@9and3 for the lock, in the vehicle menu, select : settings/locking/ door lock and you can select one off the 3 options for the temperature and others settings, when you have the right settings, just push SET and the key logo on your door to memorise on your key all the settings (seat temp etc..) ;)

@@philippem1785none of those options are on mine . It’s going to the dealer this week for the creaking so I’ll ask them then. May need a software update ?

@@amdaman3 they can’t unless the buyer is a kiwi who is moving prominently to oz and keeps the car in nz for at least 12 months before shipping to au as their personal car. So it’s staying in nz for the first 12m

@@nurlankaliaskar8810 you’re welcome, planning do do an update on the car now I’ve done 7,000km in it

Agree, I have a 993 C4S which has the same body as the 993 turbo less the big wing and the 993 is the business! Mine is in Forrest Green as well which I love.

I wish she would but she hates driving these cars. Who’s Harry 😂

I’d love nothing more than to have her drive but she absolutely hates driving these performance cars. She loves being a passenger though. She loves her Volvo XC40 EV.. our daughters on the other hand love these cars but are not old enough to be insured for them …

I know right ! This happens because of the magnetic poles I think, they flip the camera lens

Nice 👍🏼 what do you mean Insta image quality ?

@@9and3 every time you switched to your hand held camera it looked blurry compared to the other camera you were using. I am in no way downgrading your vlog as I personally thought it was awesome, keep doing what you are doing as I will certainly support you. Much love and respect. Zed. 👍👊❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ahh I see he’s the go pro compared to the iPhone !

@@9and3 I can relate to those technical difficulties, a lot of people don’t appreciate the amount of work that it takes to produce the content. 👍

Agree, but even though the ages are very different the prices are now the same so a lot of people (like me) have a certain budget and have to make this kind of decision. I was very very fortunate that the Turbo S was pretty much as new because it had only done 8,000km and owned by an older gentleman who had a large collection and never pushed it hard. I've doubled those KM now and I'm very happy with it, and of course its held its value way better than the 4S would have.

It wasn’t my car and I’ve got a few demerits on my license so keen to keep that down 😂

@@9and3 I get it. I’m glad you enjoyed the ride. The GT3 is a great 911 and I hope to be able to get one soonish. For now, I’m happy with a 992 4GTS.
