Enjoyed this review. Very informative. One small critique, it would’ve been easier to see the changes/differences, particularly from the exterior, if the cars were facing the same direction.
Why would you not have the cars face the same direction so a visual comparison could be made 🤦♂️ Content jumps all over the place making it difficult to digest the differences.

This is a really helpful video. I was looking at getting a gen 1 but to be honest I am now thinkingof paying an extra £20k for 2016 gen 2…. They hold their value so well so over a 5 year period I think it’s definitely worth going for the newer car
Great to hear we could help with our video. The Gen 2 definitely holds value well. They are bay far superior of the Gen 1. The PDK transmission, handling, acceleration, comfort and performance are from a different planet on the .2.
I think it’s great to review these two because the difference between them was so much bigger than any other generation. For me it all came down to turbo or N/A. I went with the N/ but I’m not gonna lie, I wish I had that 991.2 steering wheel.
Thank you Felix. We were disappointed with the fuel economy of .2 and often find the economy of .1 very impressive. Don’t go for the .2 for fuel economy at all. In the end they are probably on par for fuel economy.
So at the beginning of your presentation you have two Porsche’s parked opposite each other yet you are comparing front and back of both cars …. HOW CAN WE SEE what the comparison is …??? Surly you should have BOTH cars facing the same way ?? Is it guesswork…???
Poor commentary for the first 3-4 mins. Please polish up your script and knowledge (lower compression around the piston and liners - really poor description)
Hey Invictus, I'm renting a "2014 991.1 Carrera S" for 3 days and I was quite surprised by 2 things right away. 1) The steering wheel is HEAVY, at any speed. Eventually my deltoid muscle starts to fatigue and I have to drive with 1 arm, switching arms. Is that normal in all 991.1? 2) The clutch pedal is DEEEP. Crazy deep, i'm 180cm tall and when I press down on the clutch pedal my left leg is almost fully extended. Driving this car feels like doing a fullbody workout at the gym. Anyways, i want to buy one. Cheers, i subscribed.
Hi William, glad you have rented one to try. The heaviness of the steering wheel is unusual especially at low speeds so I suspect there is an issue there. It is probably worth finding out when the clutch was replaced on it if at all. It shouldn’t feel like a workout esp for a young man like you. The alternative is trying PDK.
Enjoyed this review. Very informative. One small critique, it would’ve been easier to see the changes/differences, particularly from the exterior, if the cars were facing the same direction.
Thanks Tim, will definitely take your advice onboard and will have both facing the same direction ☺️
Couldn't agree with this comment more
I was going to say the same, I was nit able to see the differences, so I have to stop de watching the video..
I had to stop watching, it annoyed me so much
Would be easier to make comparisons if you had both parked in same direction
Thank you for the feedback, will take onboard for next video

Content jumps all over the place making it difficult to digest the differences.
Thank you for the feedback, I was immediately kicking myself up the back side after seeing the footage :(
With this production value I would have expected to see some promotion somewhere but this is the first time I've come across this gem of a channel.

991.1 without any doubt, naturally aspirated ever!!
Congrats for the video, frankly good!
The engine noise is special in the 991.1. Thank you for the kind comment ❤️
I have the 991.1. The NA sound in sport plus is amazing. I had a budget and stuck to it since I paid cash. I have not been disappointed...
Agreed
Why are the cars facing different directions? That was pretty dumb👎
Indeed a poor choice here 😞
Great video, im actually in the market for another 911 & this video was very helpful, many thanks & keep the channel going.
Much appreciated Lee. Glad we could help. Are you looking for a 911 here in the UK or US?
I’m in the uk - Northamptonshire
Why do you have it in opposite directions
Bad choice at the time 😞

Glad you liked the review. A lot of people swap the steering wheel with 991.2 so look it up and you may find it affordable
Great video, useful insights when looking to purchase. Quick clarification in MPG - did you get better MPG on the .1 N/A or the .2? Thanks!
Thank you Felix. We were disappointed with the fuel economy of .2 and often find the economy of .1 very impressive. Don’t go for the .2 for fuel economy at all. In the end they are probably on par for fuel economy.
These look better than my 992… I know I should have got that 991 GTS instead of a 992 s. Those 991 looks really really good.
The 992 is a great car too but too GT in my opinion. A Gen 1 991 GTS will be a future classic
Great video!
Thank you sir. Appreciate it
Great video. Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed this overall but you kept getting confused which model you were getting in/out of 😂
Haha sorry, will sort it on the next video
Great and informative video.
It would have been better to have both cars facing the same way, though :)
Noted, and we will try to do that in the future for the upcoming videos
The interiors are exactly the same, aside from the steering wheel and the different PCM.
Fair point 👌
This is a useful comparison
Thank you!
991.2 C2S is so much faster especially after a simple ECU stage 1 tune.
Good tip thank you :)
Can u recommend me a tune shop in Florida, I want to upgrade the twin turbo with a better inter cooler+ECU tune
may be face the cars in the same direction, lol
Lol thanks I realise that now. I have done another comparison with the cars facing the same way haha

In the future have both cars facing the same direction. Then you can see differences and make comparisons. Pretty logical.
So at the beginning of your presentation you have two Porsche’s parked opposite each other yet you are comparing front and back of both cars …. HOW CAN WE SEE what the comparison is …??? Surly you should have BOTH cars facing the same way ?? Is it guesswork…???
I apologise about that, in future viewed videos. We will try to do it in a very consistent way.
Nice comparison 👍🏼
Thank you. Appreciate it
Great info, but may I suggest that you slow down a bit.
Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it
991.2looks better 991.1sounds better. Either is a good choice depends on what you look for
Poor commentary for the first 3-4 mins. Please polish up your script and knowledge (lower compression around the piston and liners - really poor description)

Thank you for subscribe btw. Appreciate it 🙏🏽
It’s disappointing you didn’t have them point in the same direction. Makes little sense to me. Good information otherwise.
Apologies, will do it in the future videos
Haha the money thing is what’s pissing me off lol. It’s so frustrating how so many options and few quid more gets better lol
Why NOT put the cars in the SAME position ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Как можно было сравнивая эти машины не поставить их ря,дом в одном ракурсе для очевидного сравнения в деталях?! 🤦🏻♂️
В следующий раз мы сделаем лучше
GTS 718’s are NA
Keeps mixing up the cars
Maybe also write a script with bullet points to refer too, it’s all a little confusing
Sorry my friend I will do in the future
Sorry 😞 will do better in the future
TLDR; 991.1 is boring and the 992.2 is stunning.
Too much opinions in this comparison tbh.
Which one do you drive?
He keeps calling the .1 a .2
Apologies for the confusion
Seems bias
How so?
😅
you didnt even rev both engines. what a joke and why are you so nervous?
Will do in a future video. There is a lot for us to learn and take from this comparison 👍
@@invictusporsche sorry to have gone so hard on you, didn't know you were a brother
Thanks brother we appreciate the support and love. I know you meant it well ❤️🙏
