Please let someone else enjoy it - you go back to BMW and LOTUS….enough said!

[@damos_cars]

Couldn't agree with you more.

[@paulsmickersbangor]

​@@damos_carsYou should of Bought a Manual

[@davidmorais2394]

I have the identical but with 6-speed manual. I’ve owned in for 10 years which is by far the longest ownership of any car for me. I have 5 other cars including an 86 air cooled M491, and classic Alfas and mercedes. But this car so beautifully balanced and such a joy to drive, I simply cannot part with it. To each his own!

[@damos_cars]

Yeh, they're great cars. Think I would have preferred a manual. Now have a manual Evora (my 2nd) and that feeds my drivers car need! Cheers

[@davidmorais2394]

The 2 911’s I now own are my 6th and 7th Porsche 911’s. They are brilliant cars. I’m in the market for a bog standard 993 manual coupe. They are also fantastic cars. All are engaging to drive and test your mettle! Enjoy the Evora. Nice car!

[@user-xe7db8zz1m]

Thanks for sharing your insights.

[@damos_cars]

thank you for watching and commenting!

[@y0057]

Fair points. The 911 is not for everyone. My brother had a 997 Turbo in 2007 could not gel with it and sold on, he bought another in 2017, barely lasted a year before sale. So your reasons are quite understandable.

[@damos_cars]

Yeh and I'm a massive Porsche fan! I'll be back. I'm sure!! :)

[@Albert-jd3hd]

I love mine. I cant imagine picking a 205GTI over this one...

[@damos_cars]

Nice! They are great machines. Just not right for me personally.

[@jf9601]

Funnily enough, I could tell after your last vid that the car wasn’t your thing. The nodding action after each upshift was a bit odd and it was noticeable that the car wasn’t making you Lol, just a grin. I like your style though, make up your mind and get rid - hopefully you haven’t lost much in the sale.

[@damos_cars]

Broke even bascially, 4 months of free 911 motoring so not all bad! The Evora seems to be ticking the boxes.. for now!

[@failforwardfast8609]

Because it’s a convertible?

[@damos_cars]

I'm not going to give it away :-D LOL

[@dongtr00]

Why you bought it then? You bought it online without checking it in person?

[@damos_cars]

All sorts of reasons really. Had a 911 itch that needed scratching. It was local to me. It was well priced, in budget and well spec'd. It was a good car just wasn't quite for me at this time.

[@NDMendes]

Regret will hit you one day :)

[@NDMendes]

I don't understand these reviews. There's no perfect car, but this 997.2 is the nearest thing available. The smiles and great feeling it provides, while keeping a tight connection to the car and road, makes it one of s kind. I'm keeping mine 997.2 C4S definitely.

[@damos_cars]

Drive a Lotus Evora then come back.

[@NDMendes]

@@damos_cars lol. You're comparing oranges with grapes

[@MrSWW]

You do like black colour car for sure.

[@damos_cars]

I know right. Black, blue or now red!

[@jorgebatista2941]

You are completely mad...

[@damos_cars]

I redress the balance in my most recent video don’t worry 😅👍
