I own a 2014 991.1 C4S with under 60k km (about 37k miles) and the sounds emanating from the flat six is otherworldly! I have a few more options than the model you test drove (PDK, Sport Chrono Sport Design package, Sport Design exterior mirrors, 20" Sport Techno Wheels for example). The 911 will forever be a timeless model. Really nice review!
I have a C4S and I agree with you about the EPS being overblown on the internet. The car is so damn good and not forgetting it being the best looking modern 911s of all.
Very compelling video. I've been shopping 997.2, but the price range is suddenly blending between these ranges. I'm definitely encouraged to widen my scope based on this video.
Yeah Audi too, they look amazing on release but after a few years they seem outdated Having screen interfaces instead of real gauges and controls dates cars too
Hell no, my e90 looks mint🤌🏾😆 It's has the "stripper" package so there's no dated navigation system in it which is a plus. Updated headlights is probably the biggest game changer, along with updating to the lci truck and taillights, some nice wheels, and keep it clean no one can tell what year it it. E90's and E92's (well maintained) can definitely be timeless. The F80 will soon be on the list too
I'm picking up one of these up next week. There aren't a lot of options for people that want relatively lightweight, high horsepower, and a smaller car, which will also be reliable. For the twisty and narrow back roads I drive on those are the attributes I wanted. My last sporty car was a E46 BMW M3 with the competition package. I loved that car except for it's weight (~3400lbs). The 991.1 C2S being 300lbs lighter with ~70 more horsepower and ~60 more ft/lbs torque seems like a sweet spot for someone like me. I could get a 992, but the size and weight increase makes it less appealing to me.
Just bought a 2015 targa 4s with 16,000 miles on it a few months ago and I’ve put 6,000 miles on it in three months. Porsche is a great daily driver and can’t imagine paying that much for a car and not driving it. 150 miles a month is just crazy. Its almost like what’s the point of owning it
Since we are all swinging testicles, my 17 c4s will hit 78k miles this weekend, and it isn’t even my daily driver. I track it 4 days a month, and still goes head to head with the new GT4 RS. You can’t go wrong with these things.
I love my 2014 991.1 S convertible bought April of 2022 it’s loaded with all 7 buttons sport chrono 10 or 20 mil lower PDk which I love been shift my whole life big toe is happy having a cruiser rocket.Never needing more power super tight curvy canyon of the 121 and 128 35 to 45 mph is beyond a blast I need to play with that g meter, kinda like the radio I’m to busy listening to that Awesome sport exhaust note. It’s so addicting. 1 thing it needs nose lift does anyone make that for the 991.1?
The 911 has always been a very well built vehicle (996's interior was not of high quality). The 991.1 / 991.2 has continued the high quality trend and very reliable boxer engines.
I paid $70,000 out the door for a 2013 Carrera S coupé with 78k miles, 5 prior owners, fully loaded with sport chrono, pdk, super clean. Color is Sapphire Blue Metallic, with Luxor Beige interior.
probably just me but it sounds like a toy. Or an old school VW bug. Even the Jag F type has a better exhausts note. This one just doesn't get my juices runnin'.... Where's me ZL1 1LE? But, i am sure it handles great.
Damn….don’t quite understand winding it out to 7800 when the redline is 7400…..sure, it’s not going to grenade the engine…..but it ain’t your car, lad. Show some consideration for the owner. This is a prime example of why I would NEVER consider buying a demo or press car when it comes to performance vehicles. There are morons out there that have absolutely no business demonstrating these kinds of cars…….NONE !!! I wouldn’t trust them with a KIA.
What do you think of the 991 Porsche 911?
I think the 991 is (with the 964) the most beautiful 911! And the naturally aspirated engine is amazing!

Awesome stuff. Enjoy
@@DriveSteady wish it had more low end torque. Have to drive it like I stole it to really enjoy it.
I would love a 991.1 C4S 3.8 PDK in Agate Grey + Luxur Biege
I have a C4S and I agree with you about the EPS being overblown on the internet. The car is so damn good and not forgetting it being the best looking modern 911s of all.
Absolutely
I have a 13 4s too. Love it
I've owned my 2012 911 C2S for 3 months now just about to hit 60k miles and drivers like a dream :)
How much is a fair price to pay for a 2012 911 Carrera S with 60k miles with immaculate interior?
@@javiervelez721045-50k
Owned my 2012 991.1 C2S 7MT with sports exhuast for the last 4 years, and its hit 70,000miles. Not missed a beat and I love it.
nice work! this car is all you need if you want an amazing experience every time you get behind the wheel
Porsche is superior and the 991.1 c2s is the sweet spot.
Very compelling video. I've been shopping 997.2, but the price range is suddenly blending between these ranges. I'm definitely encouraged to widen my scope based on this video.
Timeless design. Look at 12 yo bmw or merc, they already look dated while the porche looks like it's out of the factory
Great comparison
Yeah Audi too, they look amazing on release but after a few years they seem outdated
Having screen interfaces instead of real gauges and controls dates cars too
F12 always remain timeless for me.
Look at 15 years old e9x M3,w205 c63. Look dated?
Hell no, my e90 looks mint🤌🏾😆 It's has the "stripper" package so there's no dated navigation system in it which is a plus. Updated headlights is probably the biggest game changer, along with updating to the lci truck and taillights, some nice wheels, and keep it clean no one can tell what year it it.

it’s crazy how this generation of porsche hasn’t aged a single bit. beautiful car.
Absolutely

Great video, thinking about getting one of these as my next car. Tons of great information. I appreciate that!

9:20 My goodness I've never heard a stock one sound so nice
What exhaust mic are you using?
Rode
The key is a Gulf livery. You could spec the key in the color of your car for like $200-300
Love my 2019 991.2 4 gts!
991’s are sweet but love my 992 Carrera S Cab manual…your reviews are always well done.
Hey Robert. Recently drove a 992 S 7 speed and liked it alot.
@@DriveSteady All of them are special, I use it as a daily driver so 19K miles on my 2022 and I’m going for a million!
@robertgregory1927 enjoy in good health sir.
@@DriveSteady I will and when I hit the million mile mark you can review it!

991.1/911 epic
Love my 991.1 2013S Cabrio, MT with 60K miles. After watching this, I need to get off the computer and fire it up for a nice ride.
Go drive!
Michelin 4s are amazing tires. Have them on my targa, f-type and had them on my cayman

Nice, how are the brakes?
Pretty good. They were the steels. I wish it had some more feel but good overall.
100% sure im not the First, but thats not Martini Livery, thats Gulf Livery - but othervise great looking 991
Really strange exhaust sound !?
Hopefully you warmed it up before flooring the gas pedal…..??
I drove this exact car right before the owner sold it to the dealer! Small world

How are the clutch and shifter on the 991? I love my 997.1, but the clutch is heavy.
It’s a lot lighter and more forgiving, shifter is more notch as well.
I believe that is the Gulf Oil livery.
Just say the year of the car bro! 😅😂🙌🏽
not my flava. Nice but it's something about it I just can't get with. I've always loved Porsche but this one I'll pass on.
Who knocks old cars?????
probably just me but it sounds like a toy. Or an old school VW bug. Even the Jag F type has a better exhausts note. This one just doesn't get my juices runnin'.... Where's me ZL1 1LE?
But, i am sure it handles great.
Only 15k a year to service 😂
Damn….don’t quite understand winding it out to 7800 when the redline is 7400…..sure, it’s not going to grenade the engine…..but it ain’t your car, lad.
Show some consideration for the owner.
This is a prime example of why I would NEVER consider buying a demo or press car when it comes to performance vehicles.
There are morons out there that have absolutely no business demonstrating these kinds of cars…….NONE !!!
I wouldn’t trust them with a KIA.
Only an American shifts into first gear, during he is still roling. No technical understanding
Yeah… and 100K miles is pretty much rendering the car nearly worthless come on
Why that car so dirty bruh 😂
