The stereo is horrible and it is disgrace for Porsche to think this base stereo is acceptable. I watched many videos before building my T and it wasn't mentioned how mandatory it was to buy the Bose.
@@VisionT7 No man, unfortunately it's not. The base sound system sounds terrible in any Porsche, any model. It's common sense that you never - ever - NOT upgrade to at least the Bose. Sorry you had to find out the hard way. Sucks.
I was told you can't even change the speakers because the wiring is different from the Bose system which includes the amp and subwoofer, so we are stuck.
Not sure if the 992 still have the same design. One of the biggest issue is the frunk which can only be open through an electric switch, if your battery dies, you will need an external power source to open the frunk. This is one of the most stupidest design in automotive history in my opinion.
So at first you notice it but nothing to worry about. After you live with it I don’t even notice anymore. I hated the tires at first but they got better the more I drove. You will hear rocks hitting the inside of your fenders so don’t be surprised in that. Oh, a People can tell if you are driving when talking on the phone. I really do love the car
I heard that the 911t/GT Glass actually makes the cabin more quiet. Have you driven a base Carrera and thought the cabin was louder than your T? @@VisionT7
Is the rear wheel steering worth it? I'm on the fence about it (also deciding RWD vs AWD on a 911 GTS. it's my first porsche and I worry wether or not AWD will understeer compared to RWD)
So I will say this. The car handles amazing with it. I like to get on the track an hit up canyons. If that’s you then it’s a must. The car is soooooo planted it’s insane. It wants to break loose when I force it to. Unless I lived in a bad weather spot or wanted to get the best launches, I would pass on AWD. Just my opinion.
One think I hate about my 992 gts is not having enough torque! You really have to keep hitting gas to stay top of the speed! Other day felt like I was doing 90 but really just going 65 and cars kept passing me like WTF you doing? 😂😂
Not sure if you have noticed but I found someone mentioning it on their channel and I realized it too, this weird smell from this generation 911, it's different from other new car smell, quite irritating. I put a car diffuser in the car but still pretty bad...
Lol people are mad because you hate stuff about your car? Yeah hate may be strong for some stuff but it's all valid for you. I trust drove one and I agree the exhaust could use work and that's the first thing I'm doing to the car. Well second after tint and ceramic.
Shame you did not opt for the Bose when you were speccing the car.....! All the other things you dislike cannot be changed ( maybe aftermarket exhaust system)... Enjoy your whip!
@@VisionT7 you get a SECOND car for road trips. A 911 T is for guys who drive, not guys who preen in front of the local high school. You get a mustang for that. The PDK sold you out. That and the fact you wish you could see the engine. It’s been inaccessible for YEARS now. Admit it, you just want something for “Cars and Coffee”. I bet the first thing you did was try to find how to completely disable traction control, because what’s the point of cars and coffee if you can’t do wild burnouts into a curb when you’re leaving?
@@rigbyowen5153 Hello loser. Welcome to the chat. I see you get off on putting others down for their personal choices. Good for you. “A 911T is for guys who drive.” Like maybe on road trips? 🫤. PDK sold me out as somebody who “preens” is idiotic since the car is faster and meant to increase your performance, hence also improving your driving experience. Oh, and yes I know we can’t see the engine for the last several years, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing there bud. Cars & Coffee is actually pretty fun, but no I take my 1956 F100 to that. And finally, disabling traction control is pretty awesome in all sports cars. Maybe try it in yours and that stick up your ass might just come out. Until then. Enjoy your car, stfu and have a good life. ✌️
At first the tires (run flats) sucked. I hated the noise they made hitting bumps. After a few hundred miles the tires got better. At first you notice the road noise but I got used to it.

Better content will improve your TH-cam count. Take a drive, go to a cars & coffee Porsche meet, get some exterior paint protection done, get a hit girl friend, etc. Hope this helps? Team! 🎉
Respectfully I have to disagree. Well kinda. That C8 offers sooooo much an is a fun car. However, the 911 is much better and is a do all kind of car. Fyi, Dr Porsche kinda created the VW bug soooooo
Alright, ask me your questions. Let’s talk about your concerns
With your sport exhaust the standard Porsche valve does open the whole way, but you can get a mod that makes it open the whole way.
I’m def looking at that.
Kies motorsport valve controller, there is a youtube video on it.
@@stuartwright9148 thx man seriously.
🤩Love the Guards Red on your 911🫠. It’s the best to me.

Right. I was so upset. I want to listen to one in a normal 911 to compare. I really think it’s the lack of insulation in the doors.

Man I hope not.
You should sell it and buy a Lexus. No offense but there is a difference between an enthusiast and a non-enthusiast
Sell it. Ummm nah man. Lexus is not an enthusiast car at all.
Thanks for this video! What about road noise ? For example when cruising for a long trip on the highway ?

@PorscheTribe look for the service campaign for the glass, not sure if it address the chipping issue but it may address fogging issues experienced
Thx. Will do
valid points mate (apparently)
I absolutely love everything about my 992 Carrera S Cabriolet manual.
Nice
@@bad_financial_move9169 sure, it looks like it belongs there.
@@bad_financial_move9169 that is a good callout. Not a fan
Watching this video as I am scheduled to pick up my 24 Carrera S manual today.

The larger gas tank is only available in the RWD car.
@@jeffryrosen3438 I had no clue. That right there is a must.

Shame you did not opt for the Bose when you were speccing the car.....! All the other things you dislike cannot be changed ( maybe aftermarket exhaust system)... Enjoy your whip!
Others liked the stock stereo on a base a the S. I did not account for the lack of insulation. Makes it sound tingy. I’m looking at upgrading now.
so did you get your window issues solved?
I did but it came back. Squeaking like crazy. Need to have rubber replaced.
Omg. Chipped glass. Maybe i should get a regulsr carrera. Does it have the same problem?
Base Carrera has regular glass. The glass on a T is from the RS. So gt3/rs all have this issue. Front glass is regular fyi
How does road noise compare to a base or an S
It’s more noticeable but not intrusive.
Thanks for all the comments, my change freeze pint is in 10 days, so every tip / suggestion helps. Thanks!
No prob my biggest regret is the stereo. The 18 way seats are amazing fyi.
Why did you used to get a 992T as a PDK instead of manual?
I wanted it for my road trips. This way it’s comfy an I won’t be nervous if the wife drives it during our trips. Plus it’s significantly faster.
@@VisionT7sweet! Great to know. Yea, my wife and I both drive stick shift. Looking for a manual GTS but this is awesome to hear your perspective.
@@DesignMonkey2000 hope you get get one. Love a gts

Wait for that first oil change! They have to remove the bumper to get in there. $$$
Actually no. Plug under engine is easy to get to. Then all you do is remove a fan from up top an you can get to the filter. Dealer will charge $450ish
How about road/tyre noise?
At first the tires (run flats) sucked. I hated the noise they made hitting bumps.

Top issue= overpriced options
Hahaha. Yeah some are crazy.
Agreed. I’ve ordered two Porsches and I have definitely overpaid for options that other manufacturers don’t charge for.
Hate is such a strong word! Why you bought it? 😂
I guess you right. I love the car just have a few dislikes
The problems I want in my life haha (no hate)
Haha right. I’m honestly glad to have them
The god awful pdk shifter is just horrible
You know what. It grew on me. I like it now
@@VisionT7 and it is growing on me as well…just not attractive
PDK is totally awesome. The way it intuitively shifts is nothing to scoff at.
