- To finish this year's season of car-reviews, Porsche gave me this beautiful 911 Carrera Coupe...With very few options my only question was: Can less be more ?

"After driving a 911, every other car feels like a compromise"
I love my 911 and I love this quote.
+Alfonso Lozada Glad you liked the video !
100% absolutely!
Just bought one and cannot wait anymore to pick it up next week 😋 a 991 carrera 4
Excellent reviews. I had a 991.2 but I have swapped it with the 1st gen 991 Carrera due to the naturally aspirated engine. You have spoken some legendary words " after driving this car every other car feels like a compromise". You have encapsulated over 5 decades of motoring perfection in 11 words. Well done
I’ve watched it several times, and it has held up very well. One of the best car reviews ever, Guido.
WOW.. another amazing review. You def have style and I love the way you make these! Very professionally done! Keep it up.
I own this base 991 911 and dig it. I have 20's w/PDK, just a perfect ride for daily driving and getting on it. Listen, unless you're made of money the base Carrera is more than adequate (especially in LA).
Good job! I specially like the beginning with the falling leaves. Keep up your great work in 2014!
Thanks guys, I appreciate it !
Awesome new review Guido!
You tell it like it is.Really enjoy your reviews.
I really enjoyed this review, as comprehensive video reviews of the base Carrera are hard to find. I just purchased a CPO version very similar to your test car in this video. 2014 Carrera in Mahogany Metallic with Luxor Beige interior, PDK, Sport Exhaust, Sport Chrono, Premium Pkg, Bose, and 20 in S wheels. It's a thing of beauty, and the color is very rare and always evokes stares and thumbs up from other motorists. For a daily driver here in the States, anything more than the base 3.4 is unnecessary, because unless you are tracking your car you can never really push these vehicles the way they are intended to be driven and still retain your drivers license. As a long time BMW M car owner, I have to say that this car is on another level. Thanks for showing the base model a little love.
You are very welcome and congrats on the 911 ! Hope you get to enjoy it to the fullest ! - Guido
Your reviews have the best quality outside of the U.K...I really enjoy these. I wish you could post a 5 minute+ video of driving with the camera mounted in between the seats like at 2:31 in this video. I would watch it again and again almost every day.
Excellent review as always Guido!
Brilliant review, Guido! Simply the best around.
Excellent review. Your car reviews do have their own personality - probably the best on TH-cam. I'm always surprised how you capture the real feeling in the car, its sounds, its vibrations - overall atmosphere. Really THE proper reviews for a petrolhead. Man, keep up your work - the world's watching you!
Thank you so much Alex ! Very happy you enjoy my videos. I'm already working on a new one that I want to upload after the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas ! Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Love your videos! Your quirky German-ness works really well for car reviews! Keep up the good work and post more videos please!
Haha, thank you very much, Paul !
Long time with out yuour videos. Nice to have you back.Keep up the good work!
Great review as always
Great work from Chile Guido. See you next season
With every video, you get better and better AND BETTER! Keep up the good work.
Great review, i really like your videos. Continue like that
I really enjoy your reviews. A shame the season has come to an end. Looking forward to watching your vids next year again. Take care. Cheers from Karlsruhe.
Thanks Geoffrey ! The base 911 was huge fun. I drove it more than most other testcars this year that I had for a week. That says more about it than the video :) Greetings, Guido
Great video as always! looking forward to more porsche videos.
Thank you so much my friend ! I'm glad you're still enjoying my videos ! Greetings, Guido
Another great review by TheGetawayer
Absolutely stunning video. Amazing cinematography, a beautiful car, and amazing host. Thanks for the upload.
Guido, you seem like such a nice person and make reviews that are so watchable. The world needs more friendly people like you. Greetings from Australia.
Thank you very much my friend ! I'm glad you enjoy watching my videos ! Greetings from germany, Guido
Thanks, Nathan ! Glad you enjoyed the video !
Wow! Your reviews are so much more sophisticated than many others from the established automotive press. Hang in there and keep up the great work!
Richtig klasse Aufnahmen dieses Mal, mit der passenden Musik ... einfach herrlich :) Was Du gesagt hast, habe ich in meinen 2 Tagen irgendwie auch gemerkt. Man wird mit dem Auto voll akzeptiert, die Leute halten an und wollen darüber reden, interessieren sich richtig für das Auto. Bin jetzt zwar außer dem 991 noch keinen anderen Sportwagen gefahren (zum vergleichen), aber der Porsche kam zumindest für mich überall echt gut an :)
Thanks Jason ! Glad you like the video and especially the cinematography. That means alot to me. Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Great review! I love your direct honest reviews. Getting my 14' 911 Turbo S in 2 weeks -- woo hoo!
Thanks Sjoerd ! Glad you like it !
Thank you my friend ! The nature was beautiful and very inspiring for the videography work :) Greetings, Guido
Fantastic review. Very straight and true opinions also very practical. I like it so much. Base Carrera 991.1 is my target for now. I would like to buy it and feel what you descriibed. Thank you and good luck best Arek
Great review ... I would love to drive round these roads in Germany .. Looks awesome place to drive.
Keep you videos coming when's you next update due..
Thanks ! If you ever get the chance come to southwestern germany and drive in the Odenwald, it's a driver's paradise ;) I will be back with new videos in a few weeks. One of the next tests will be the new 911 Targa ! Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
BTW, great review as always! Hope to see more soon! P.S. GT3 please!
Bravo! Sure you are a special reviewer!! Keep it up!
Great video again Guido. And indeed a very beautiful color. No pictures or video can show the color to its full justice though. One needs to see this in person.
Another great video, Guido. I think the base 911 is still a fantastic car. Most people would love to own one.
Thank you ! I will start the new season early next year. In the winter time there aren't as many testcars, so I will take a break until I can get new and exciting cars for you guys to review. Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
what kind of 911 do you own mr. Getawayer?
love your videos, , i wanted to get a cayman S, but because of kids i'm seeing 991 carrera 2's for under 65K, not too bad, which car did you prefer driving the 991 C2 or the cayman S ?
Thanks for putting this review together. It was great to hear all about the 'base' model, as well as your thoughts on what the 'must haves' are.
Craig Arnold : Your welcome ! I'm glad it was a helpful video
Excellent Video! I love the 911! I LOVE my Carrara 991S
Thanks Eric ! I really appreciate that ! Greetings, Guido
I Love My 2013 911 4S Cabriolet With Sport Chrono, White on Carrera Red Interior, Torque Vectoring, Bose Premium Sound, Full Leather Interior, 20" Sport Wheels and PDK with PASM Suspension, and Sports Steering Wheel.
Thanks Carlos ! I'll try to start it early ! Greetings, Guido
Excellent review Guido! You made many helpful comments. I think that the base car would be more fun for me, especially since I like to wind out a motor. Interesting comment about the car being more socially acceptable. Even here in America, 911s are sleepers, not for people that want to be flashy, and I'm growing to appreciate that quality of the 911 more. Would you choose the PDK or manual if you were ordering a standard Carrera? I really want to review one of these, or better yet, own one!
Well done and very confident / self-assured, I like ;)
Thanks alot ! Greetings, Guido
I've mentioned it in many other reviews, but you are right :) Greetings, TheGetawayer
Great review....looking to spec a base 911 and this was very helpful. Most reviewers don't do the base cars so much appreciated :)
+Chad McBain Glad to hear that, I also drove a Carrera 4 with the base engine if you want to the more reviews about this engine - Guido

Thanks, Toni !
I just bought this car (3.4L) with PDK. I have it zero optioned like this one. The only difference I got the 20" wheels and didn't get the Sport Chrono. Your video makes me look forward to getting it even more. Mine arrives in June. Thanks for another excellent review.
You're very welcome, Jonathan ! Hope you'll send me a picture of your baby when it arrives. Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Thanks for the great review. I went with the 911 Carrera Coupe with PDK, Chrono Sports, Sports Exhaust, 20 inch wheels and sunroof. Really looking for June to get here!
Robert Ornelas You are very welcome Robert ! Send me a picture to my facebook when it arrives and tell me how it feels to you. All the best for your ownership !
TheGetawayer Will do.
I agree. My personal favourite would be a manual C4S at the moment. Not because of the AWD, but because I love the look of the rear with the wider wheelarches. Greetings, Guido
Thanks Ryan !
I am contemplating on this year, but torn between the base and S model. I actually like the sound of the base model, but has anyone had the experience of driving both. What are your thoughts on the 2. i am also concerned if buying a used S model the previous owner hasn't thrashed it.
You provide the best video reviews available and I love your accent. Since you are an enthusiast who really knows your cars, I'd like to see you compare a 911 Carrera 3.8 PDK with a McClaren MP4-12C since these are the only two sports cars I've Hearn reviews say you could use as a daily driver.
Thank you very much ! I already filmed a Carrera S , but getting my hands on the McLaren could be difficult :) But you never know, haha
I did drive one... I need to post the footage but I want to do another and a better review. Love what you have done though. It will be hard to beat :)
You made some very good points. I agree that the 911 is the most socially accepted sports car - that is due to it's understated styling similar to Audi. I also agree that after driving a 911 everything seems like a compromise... Even more expensive supercars feel like they are "trying too hard" and thus a compromise. They are a perfect balance of form and function and styling. Lovely brand!
Thanks buddy !
Hi Thegetawayer, great review, I have a simple question would like to ask you. 981 boxster S or 991.1 base carrera which one drives better in your opinion and experience, thanks
Thanks buddy ! I've been thinking about getting such a mic, but haven't decided which one would be good for me. I also depends on the car. In this 911 the audio with the camera mic seemed worse compared to my other videos like the Cayman and C63 review. I will try to work on it ! Greetings, Guido
Thanks Mark !
That would be me, since I filmed and edited the video :) Thanks for the compliment, buddy ! Greetings, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Thank you ! I only do this as a hobby and getting testcars isn't that easy. I'll do my best to start the next season early ;) Greetings, TheGetawayer
Hi
I'm having a bit of a dilema here was wondering if you could give me your opinion. I m buying a 991 and i have the choice between 2 pre owned ones. one is 2013 carrera. S it has 10.000kmh with pretty much all the options. and for the same price and carrera 4 cabrio with 3.000k also this one doesnt have the sport exhaust system. i wanted to ask you how faster is the carrera s compared to the carrera 4 cabrio. let me know thanks

Guido, camera work in this particular video is phenomenal! Only thing that I would recommend is to buy external mic that attaches on your shirt so you can get much more realistic (acoustic) audio. Other than that, I think you are becoming one of best (honest) reviewers on TH-cam (seems that Porsche recognized that).
I would prefer the "base"-modell too - 30 Years ago, I had my first 911, a 1966 A-Series with 130 Horses. And also this was NOT a slow car. Personal experience is more important than 0 to 60 times. Btw good review -
(love the 911, although today I drive italian style...)
i agree, but remeber ur car was alot lighter. Cars getting heavier and heavier :(
Thank you very much !
Brilliant review once again, probably the best this far, even when the car wasnt the most exciting version. Colors of the autumn gives good atmosphere =) Beginning of october when i visited this region (thanks to your advice) autumn wasnt yet blooming so, now im slightly dissapointed that i didint delay it for few weeks =) but i must say from my own experience, roads were damn slippery with leafs+rain ;P
Nice review! You are certainly my go to guy for Porche reviews. Who do you phone at Porche for loan cars? Do you just call them and say "hey look I have a nice following on TH-cam and people listen to what I gave to say. May I have a loan 991 carrera please?"
Thanks Emil ! Will do :) Greetings, Guido
Great job!!! Very nice work of movie director!
Thanks Matt ! Really appreciate your feedback...You should really drive one. I think it deserves to be called the best driver's car in the world...My favourite car would be a Carrera 4S with manual. The PDK is amazing. Absolutly amazing. I can't say anything bad about it...But I enjoy the 7 speed manual even more, especially with the Chrono Package and the auto rev-matching...Drive it ! I really want to see you driving more Porsches :) Greetings, Guido
Thanks buddy ! I was lucky with the weather, but also had some rain...Considering the road conditions I still drove pretty hard and enjoyed the car. Once again proofed to me that you don't really need AWD in a Carrera. Greetings, Guido
Thanks, Tiny ! :)
How does this compare to a 981 Boxster S ? They have the same engine and gearbox

Thanks Louis ! That's a very nice comment. Thank you...Greetings from germany, Guido
I'll do my best ! Thanks, Gibssone !
Thank you Suzanne ! Glad you like the video...Yes the mahogany metallic is stunning. No lense I used could really pic it up. It's absolutly beautiful...Have you considered it ?
Wieder mal ein tolles Video Guido..
Weiter so...
Habe mal ne Frage...
Könntest du im nächsten Jahr nichtmal ein Video über den neuen A45 AMG machen, vorausgesetzt du bekommst das Fahrzeug?
Meiner Meinung nach ein absolut faszinierendes Fahrzeug was AMG da gebaut hat..
Würde mich sehr freuen..
FIRST
Another awesome video Guido
Thanks !
What was the name of the color? I'm trying to find it on the configuration :)
Thanks ! I planned to review the RS6, but had to cancel that test. Which car would you like to see ?
Herr, Getawayer, thanks for another direct , to the point, no nonsense review; very German. Been watching your videos for a while and, in comparison to other peoples car posts, reviews etc, i prefer these. Can you tell me, if i were to order a new 911, today, with custom options (nothing crazy), what would the waiting period be? i'm envious if this is your job; if its a hobby, i wish i was lucky enough to be able to do it. auf wiederseen.
Thanks for the kind words about my videos, Sir ! That means alot to me...I think 3 to 4 mounths is realistic if you order a new 911....Making these videos is ' just ' my hobby, but I take alot of pride in sharing my passion for sportscars with people around the world and I'm very happy when people enjoy my work :) Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Very good review with some very nice pictures. I really enjoyed it.
If you had the choice between a normal Carrera (without S) or a Cayman S which one would you choose?
Greetings
Spot on ! Most of my videos are filmed around the Fischbachtal :)
Haha, well I usually spend a week or two driving and filming these cars, so I have much more time for filming...I'd really like to see your review and impressions, Docta ! Post whatever you have :)
Great review! Any Audi reviews coming?
Thanks ! Well, I hope Porsche will continue to support my work, since so many fans and potential buyers are watching my videos and would like to hear my opinion...I haven't done a Cayenne or a Panamera review yet, I also wanted to do the new GT3...The new 911 Targa is coming next year and the Macan as you said...I'll do my best to get these cars, but I can't promise you anything...Greetings, Guido
Nice video!
Location seems to be the Odenwald->Neunkirchen, Kuralpe ;)
Great driving roads! Lived there for years.
I really think your Porsche reviews are great! They are the best out there! If you had to choose, how would you feel about a 991 c4s with sport suspension, chrono, sports exhaust, 18 way seats, and a 7-speed manual among other things?
That pretty much sounds like a perfect 991 to me, Michael :) Remember going for a Bose stereo if you want to listen to music in a decent way. Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
Thanks. I've watched all your 911 videos several times and there were very helpful in making decisions. Here is the complete option list for a 2015 991 911 C4S coupe: 7-speed manual, rhodium silver/black interior, platinum silk gloss wheels, 18 way adaptive sport seats, premium plus package, Bose audio, park assist (front/rear), sport design mirrors, solid sun roof, PASM sport suspension, sport chrono package, sport exhaust, gauges and chrono clock face in white, sport steering wheel. I am from Canada, so here is the best part--- Euro delivery at Zuffenhausen in September! Thank you again for your reviews and comments. They were very helpful in making all the choices. My favourite comment was when you were raving about the auto-rev matched downshifts in the 7-speed manual with chrono! (C4 manual transmission review). I wasn't sure I liked the idea of the car heel-and-toeing for me, but now I'm really looking forward to it. No PDK for me!!!!
Haha no, Jake ! It's just a hobby and I do it for fun whenever a car-makers gives me a car that looks interesting for me. I could properly make much more videos and drive more cars, but don't have the time to do it, being a full-time student and working :) Greetings, Guido
exciting day!
Danke Armin ! Ich denke der Wagen hier hätte Dich nach Deiner Erfahrung mit dem Carrera S nicht mehr so beeindruckt, aber die Farbe mahagoni metallic war echt klasse. Hoffentlich nächstes Jahr wieder :) Grüsse, Guido
The ride starting 2:11 ..lovely 😍 One day I'll get mine
You are my new favorite car journalist. Love the cinematography and the way you review the cars. I hope you get your hands behind the wheels of all the new sports cars this year. I'd really like for you to review the new corvette but I think at the moment, there's hardly any c7s in Europe for journalists to test drive. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it compared to the 911/s because its been note resting to see what other reviewers in Europe have said about it. Some didn't like it as much like chris Harris (but he had the auto) some really liked it (top gear mag) I'm probably not going to get a lot of love with this comment because this is a video for a porsche not vette but I jmainly just wanted to say how much I appreciate this chanel. So seldom do we see reviews with not tons of options. I'd be interested to know if you think people buying the base carrera are enthusiasts more over the people buying the 911 s with the options. It would seem to me people who jave the money for the base could easily get the more powerful s.
Thank you so much for the postive feedback ! I really do appreciate it ! Sadly Chevrolet Germany and Europe never answer my emails. I tried to get a Corvette, but it seems like they are not interested in working with me, just like BMW btw...It's hard to say which people buy the base. I know two viewers with base Carreras and they are both hardcore drivers, but they picked the base so they had more money for PASM, PTV, PSE and other options...Greetings from germany, Guido aka TheGetawayer
No Foolin I don’t know about a new 911 turbo they are crazy fast. I just got my first perfect 8 year old 911S and I’m very excited it’s way more power than my old base Boxster. This 911 is everything I thought it would be and I’ve been waiting 30 years to get it. I blame it on my neighbors 1979 targa it got me dreaming!
