I like your shopping cart theory, we drive the GTS to do grocery shopping everyday. The frunk is perfect and user friendly. You are right, 992 is very functional, this is the best sports car or simply the best car.
Zack thank you for saying that you are not a fan of the black wheels. IMO silver wheels give a nice contrast between black tires and wheels. Love the Porsche Targa.
Beautiful, classy and stylish and the car is attractive as well! What a color matching homerun, never thought i would like that lighter blue, but home run!!!
Wow what an amazing car to own and drive, but is a future wish list. Thank you both for responding to my questions at 10:55 mark on video. Andrea great color matching dress. Keep up the good work.
You're a beautiful, bright blue masterpiece in this video also, Andrea, very well done with the matchy matchy! :) Zack gets honourable mention for his watch strap also. I assume Zack wasn't referring to a Costco shopping cart when he was describing the front trunk, but this looks like a relatively practical and comfortable 2+2
Glorious, Just beautiful! This is two seat heaven! Manual for sure and no kids! The car is stunning as well as Andrea's blue dress. Was this a test drive or a joy drive guys? Cheers.
In the 80s, the only 911 version I dislike is the targa because the lines just doesn't flow. It's so awkward looking. The roof is almost horizontally flat and then the rear window just slope down with an obvious kink at the rear roof edge. But this new targa is absolutely gorgeous. When the roof is up - 4:14 - the roof top actually curves mimicking the coupe. It's just beautiful. Although I'm a coupe person, I may even consider a targa in the future.
Deliveries are tough - ordered February 2022. No allocation yet. Calgary Porsche are saying allocation late Q1, early Q2 which means delivery Summer/Fall 2023. Your video keeps me going and I couldnt help but laugh when the smile appeared on both of your faces when you punched it. All THE BEST!
Poor Zack! He stuck in the backseat! 😆 Beautiful vehicle but poor gas mileage and too pricey! If I win the lottery, I would buy it! 😂 I had laughed when you have the roof open and you both had to shout. 😂 I am a little surprised as you drive, your hair almost didn’t fly! 👍🏻 Great video and boy I love this car! Andrea, you looks like you are having fun. I would be too. 😃
Oh my lord! I love this car! Went on the configurator about two hours ago and still there ;-) Why? it now shows all the PTS colors, the amazing Heritage interiors, etc, etc, and etc ;-) Most stunning? All the standard safety features found on my my Toyota would cost an additional $6k usd or so....sheesh! Great review, TY !
You guys don't seem as excited driving the car, is it more on the larger luxury/GT spectrum now? The color matching effort, especially Zach's watch strap is awesome 👍
Well done Zack and Andrea! If I had the cash I would love to own one. Hey Zack will your Sunday night shows resume after Labor Day? I can imagine that is at times a bummer when it intrudes on family time. Enjoying that time of conversation is one of the highlights of my week! All the best to you both.
Gosh I've been waiting for this review Andrea and like Zack said the colour coordination is sublime though he looked sheepish as you put your foot down on the accelerater! PS, the car looks and handles really well and is a show stopper just like the dress if I may Andrea.
@@andreaspencer9813 Greetings from Australia and you two are my favourite reviewers. You are stunning Andrea and Zac seems like a nice guy. Cars there are half the price we pay here in Australia. A basic Cayman is 142k. for example.
If you can afford it there is no substitute. And if you can afford it, appreciate well made things and haven't bought one shame on you. I would recommend the normally aspirated older models- 991.1. Such a glorious sound.
First time watching your channel, great review. This car with the shark blue and Spyder wheels is hopefully my future car one day. Another great luxury convertible alternative is the Lexus LC 500, was totally enamored by it's beautiful looks (inside and out), and it's AMAZING sounding naturally aspirated V8. Give it a test drive if you haven't already.
That chunky back glass harkens back to the old 911sc targas. Not sure how I feel about it although it probably looks better in person. Zack seems more interested in reviewing Andrea’s dress. 😉
Great review, guys. I can't understand why Porsche and Audi think that *piano black plastic* is a good idea when everyone complains about what a fingerprint magnet it is! ☹
And they're not the only ones, unfortunately. Car manufacturers are SLOW to respond. I would imagine it will take another 5 yr for them to get it - the public HATES piano black.
Agree with you the rear black plastic looks cheap and offsets everything and I can't understand why people have blacks mags on their cars it looks terrible
Cool , the way the top is stored , i’d rather have a top that stored in the back seat , and the rear window would give me access to the space behind the front seats , if it still tilted , it could store somewhere else , but , i don’t know where , you could get a clear top also , with a sun screen ,
That blue reminds of Toyota's Calvary Blue. That type of blue is one of the few colora that I think black wheels look good. It's a fun rich person car. A great one at that.
I'd like one, but I just can't see the markups they want if you can even locate one. Once the global economy crashes, there should be some nice deals.... Like 1/2 off on a year old car, after someone lost 90% of their net worth. Thanks for the review. The sound of that motor. Nice!
I had a 2020 911 992 S I just sold it but I placed an order for the new upcoming 911 GTS version 992 2 comes out next year I think he’s feeling fruity for you Andrea ❤😅
At least…Twice I’ve considered selling (trade + cash) my ‘87 Cab for an SL55 AMG (2006). I love the Benz with it’s power, luxury appointments and amazing hardtop, but trading my Porsche for the Mercedes-Benz would mean every other month I’d be dealing with a 4 figure ‘dealer-only’ repairs. I’ve considered an older mid-2000 BMW 650i convertible, but between weight, looks, maintenance (I’ve had the SWB 740i w/M-Sport), reliability, value/price and looks… but I couldn’t justify going backwards, driving-wise at least. My Carrera may be less comfortable, not as fast, less ‘look at me’ looks, noisier, smaller and zero technology/safety features… but it’s overall value simply cannot be matched. This new Targa is Light Years ahead of my 911, I absolutely love it. But at over $150,000 plus, I could never justify it’s price (I paid less than $20,000 nearly 20 years ago). My Porsche might not have the street-cred, looks, the speed or the technology… but I love it’s simplicity, raw driving experience and little to no maintenance. I just wish mine at the very least had cup holders. Thanks for the video.
Last weekend of Summer. Both kids at University. Today, I will be dropping my Wife at Aylen Lake, whilst I continue on to Lake Muskoka. Friends, Family and Driving (even a boat) is what Canadian Summers are all about. Cheers.
Lucky you! Personally, I would take a Summer in Vancouver/Victoria with a $185,000+ Targa over mosquitoes, over BBQ’d steaks and a potential sunburn (I’ll be building a dock with Brothers). But at least there will be beers and laughs.
I agree with Andrea and Zach on how nice they layout the dash. Especially how they built in the infotainment system. I hope more manufactures adopt that concept for the built in infotainment system instead of it looking to be a afterthought of where to have it located.
Porsche always makes great vehicles but the price and mpg are real killers. The "only" reason is if you got the money. (Andrea looks like a billion dollars!).
How come the Audi R8 Spyder didn't make it on the consideration list? If I had the money and the wardrobe to match... My top choices would be Porsche & Audi convertibles. :)
My concern with the Tarag's was "air turbulence" with the top down. In reviews by j other car jchannels they have complained about air-turbulence. But in this review we could hhear you both speak no problem. So is it a non-issue actually? I've always loved the look of the Targa and preferred it ofver a traditional convertible....finding it looks odd on a 011 (many will disagree)....
Great review guys. Still miss my 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS but I wouldn’t go 4 wheel drive again in a 911 and that’s the only way they make Targas now. Shame.
A beautiful design, but given that the whole automated roof system only results in removing the targa, it seems overly complex for little return. I think the Corvette has better options here.
Typically the convertible / targa needs more chassis to support the lack of bracing in the roof, which means it is heavier. A Porsche compromises on so many aspects of a car and optimizes for the best sport handling and performance that it does not make sense to get one with anything but a standard roof. Unless, of course, the car is bought to make a statement and not for any of its qualities.
I like your shopping cart theory, we drive the GTS to do grocery shopping everyday. The frunk is perfect and user friendly.
You are right, 992 is very functional, this is the best sports car or simply the best car.
You guys look like you're having a blast in that Targa. Beautiful car, and Andrea's matching blue outfit is a perfect match!
We really did, such a fun sports car!
Zack thank you for saying that you are not a fan of the black wheels. IMO silver wheels give a nice contrast between black tires and wheels. Love the Porsche Targa.
I also dont like black wheels on any car.
Gorgeous GRS Targa 4 Both review & Andrea Spencer are brilliant
Beautiful, classy and stylish and the car is attractive as well! What a color matching homerun, never thought i would like that lighter blue, but home run!!!
Amazing video Andrea and Zack! - awesome car and what Zack said!
Thank you, it certainly was fun!
I swapped the wheels on my Targa GTS for Exclusive Design Fuch’s style ones. It looks timeless!
Zack's cool watch band is perfectly matching Andrea's lovely dress. Oh' and the car is nice too.
Wow what an amazing car to own and drive, but is a future wish list. Thank you both for responding to my questions at 10:55 mark on video. Andrea great color matching dress. Keep up the good work.
Of course, thank you so much for participating!

I could never want to drive a manual again in my life.
Great review
You both always make me smile
Awesome, thank you!

Loved the matching outfit! What a great car!!
Great video! I think some of the stiffest competition for any 911 is it’s little brother the Boxter/Cayman.
Great video!

Andrea, you looks like you are having fun. I would be too. 😃
I love it too! One of the reasons why I like the Targa so much is the roof, it's fabulous and very little wind compared to the 911 cabriolet.
Great review! Zack, so nice of you to match your watch to Andrea’s dress! 😉💙
Ah, somebody noticed!
@@Motormouth... yes, it was like wearing a corsage to match her dress, Zack :)
Always loved the Targa. It was always my late sisters dream car. Would love to see you review the all new Mercedes SL
What a stunning color in a what a car stunning car.
Shark Blue is so beautiful!
Awesome car! And great review like always! :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
I like the dress as well Zack. Great review team. Keep up your great work. Cheers!!!!!!!!!

Mrs motormouth 👍
There's always the Porsche GTS Boxster for 1/2 the price and 99% of the fun!
I love your blue dress andrea 🔥 the car is also good
Thank you very much!
Mine is ordered. Identical car with Exclusive Manufacturer Chalk full leather. Can’t wait !!!!!! We’re coming to see you guys in Vancouver
Wow, congrats!
You guys don't seem as excited driving the car, is it more on the larger luxury/GT spectrum now?
The color matching effort, especially Zach's watch strap is awesome 👍
I love GTS but Carrera T is my choice. would like you guys to review one
Zack you’re a funny guy and always well played!
Great, but where do we buy that dress? I’d love to get it for my BH.
Would a great video, love the car!! Andrea your really selling the car with your style! You guys also have a Porsche, right??
Thank you very much and yes, we do have one.
Beautiful dress Andrea, you bring out the best of that dress. That Porsche also comes with the portable Braun shaver that doubles as a stick shift.
Thank you so much!

Well done Zack and Andrea! If I had the cash I would love to own one.

Looks very light for Shark Blue, but if you say so. 🤔
So glad to finally see this. Wow

Half the fun of this review, is to see his face when "speedy" Andrea goes to metal.
Love it! We have a Boxster on order since March 22, might not be here until summer 23...maybe
It’s a nice car the best car ever I would love to own one
OMG I love this car !
Beautiful design, sehr sehr shoen!!!
Can you mount a snow plow on the front?😎
Sure, but it's probably not on the Porsche option list :)
Targa's are the best, hold value best too. A Turbo-S Targa would be groovy.

The worst standard feature are the center lock wheels. Try changing one when you get a flat - impossible.
You make a very good point ! 👍
Awesome car!! Love to know the price as tested on this one. Seems like $250k-ish USD? 🚙💨💨
Price as tested $215,095 CAD

Great review guys. Still miss my 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS but I wouldn’t go 4 wheel drive again in a 911 and that’s the only way they make Targas now. Shame.
Why? removing the driveshaft and transforming a 4 into a 2 is no witchcraft. This way it is a lot easier than the other way around.
I know you guys had fun in that Porsche ! I think Zach needs to start matching clothes color to car……maybe just the shirt 🙂
I did, check the watch strap!

A beautiful design, but given that the whole automated roof system only results in removing the targa, it seems overly complex for little return. I think the Corvette has better options here.

Everything is great except that microphone shifter. My Cayman has a regular PDK shifter. Targa GTS is a great car.
Where's the comparison to the C8 HTC? Probably comparably equipped about $100k less with a nicer interior and similar performance (@$103k)
Amazing
Do the Japanese make a targa?
I'll take mine in green please.
Ok you two, how do you really feel about it??
Lol!
