Nice review Nick, always look forward to your videos release, especially Porsche
I just realised that white with gold wheels is a damn near perfect spec
Preach it brother. I think it looks fantastic!
If only it came with whitewall tyres
And I was just thinking that it looked borderline hideous. Not a fan of gold wheels.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH White with Black spider wheels would look sick.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I'm with you on this one buddy. Always looks tacky and cheap to me but hey.
Nick got to say I like the white with gold/bronze wheels, I’m going to spec mine when I go back home to NZ like that!
I agree - in person this car is stunning. I finally saw one last weekend. I was an absolute no thank you prior to seeing it in person. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Great video and very good information. This is something I've been waiting for, because you can see beyond the design changes and actually appreciate the upgrade brought to us. Keep posting these excellent videos!
Finally a real review! Was waiting on this one Nick!
Great review Nick! I agree the interior is much better, and the rear is cool. Thanks
You may be late to covering the 992, but I always enjoy watching your videos for the nice Nick Murray perspective.
Thank you for your insight Nick! I work at a dealer and was very puzzled about the buttons. Have a car with lift, sport chrono and exhaust but no exhaust button. We had a car that needed engine mounts from factory. So far nothing else
Great video Nick! Brilliant to see you again - have really missed your posts :)
Excellent - thanks Nick. I look forward to the options video.
This are reviews I can relate too. Thanks for the great content!
Aventurine is AMAZING in person. So excited to see yours!
Such a great review. Thank you.
“People that enjoy driving enjoy having to work the car.” Finally someone pointed it out, 100% agree with Nick’s option.
Jun, Its nice to know there's still guys like you & Nick that appreciate the thrill & purity of the driving experience as opposed to the never ending pursuit of horsepower & faster shifting automatic transmissions. I can't even get into F1 anymore, its just not like the great days of Niki Lauda and Ayrton Senna.
Excellent video Nick! Is good to hear the good and the issues. 👍🏻👍🏻
Completely agree with you about the power!! Went from a C2 to a turbo and quickly realized I made a mistake.
Hooray, it’s finally here! This is the only 992 review I care about. Looking forward to your options video.
Thanks for the response and the video!
Fantastic insights that no other TH-camr provides. Thank you nick!
Totally agree the turbo s is boring to drive after the first few times of getting the rush.
Keep up the good work Nick. Great reviews.
Any Porsche will do as long as our man presents it. Like you all, I have watched just about ALL the films here on Ytube about this new[ish] model. Some are fine, a few others great, but sadly, too many.. not so much. And the fanboy type, mostly.. meh.!
So then, to Nick, and it was GRAND.. down to earth, sensible, and in a way, well, I would say this.. I wish we lived next door. You would be a mega neighbour.. And you could leave the animals with me when you are away.. I love dogs.
Thanks for this. P & L.

You could NOT be more wrong, I am so NOT a gay fanboy. I simply like and admire Nick's video work, But more than that, I LIKE nice people.
And I am certain we would make good neighbours, both adult enough to be aware of one another, and able to accept each other, in the BEST way.
I believe neither one of us is NASTY as you were here, and certainly, neither one of us would have been so BERLUDDY RUDE as to make that wanky-boy barb.!!

GROW UP.. and keep your adolescent spite to yourself.

You wish you lived next door... Creepy. 😬
I'm with you I currently own a 991.1 turbo and while it's a great car and dream car for many, I tell my friends it has too much power to properly enjoy and if I get a 911 again I'm gonna go for less power trim, like a Carrera T
Thank you so much for letting me know about the squeaking seats, it's the number one problem for me and my girlfriends.
I love 911s so much and I think I love your 911 videos just as much. Maybe a little bit more. Just a bit...
Thanks Nick. I think I represent all of your viewers by saying that, what we really love about you is your true 911 passion.
I'll be back for the 992 options video, Nick. And of course, green with tan seats is the way to go.
Harry Ireland thats the real spec my friend maybe even some tartan seat insets.
Great review Nick. Video was so clean. I’m almost sold on this 992....but 2nd gen once those little gremlins are cleaned up. Looking forward to your next 911.
the external spec on this one is not my taste.... but its a stunning car :)
Would love, when you get a green 4s
Thanks, Nick. I'm looking forward to your review of the 911s with a manual.
always the best Porsche content
Nick, you look different with all of your clothes on.
Not as good but them the rules of TH-cam sadly
Insta fam
You owned a 901 Nick? Wow!
Came here to make the same comment, and yours is the first one I see.
don't he learn anything from owning a 911... what a fool.... only people who buy it and just want a 911.... with no skill to drive it.... it also know as widowmaker...
Great review and insight as always Nick. I'm in the process of buying my first Porsche. After driving a few models I settled on the 911 GT3 manual, can't wait the hit the canyon roads out here in southern California. Cheers!
I am glad to hear you have found a good dealer. There are some shockers around. An old friend in NZ has bought a number of new Porsche's and has a 992. It was off the road for weeks because Porsche NZ sold these cars without making sure tyres were available. Very poor, especially as the Service Manager said anything other than the tyre they specified would void the warranty on the car. Clearly they have no shame. It has paint protection film that appears to have been trimmed by a child and park sensors that fault so often riding in it is a horrible experience, so bad she hardly uses it and calls it her white elephant.
The old multi-function steering wheel (in the 997s and 991s) came with a programmable button that would let you move forward a track. Thanks for the review.
Looking forward to the long format options list video.
Good info Nick. I always appreciate your honest opinions. I have been thinking about a 992, but believe I will keep my 991.2 for awhile. Cheers.
So glad I found your channel this last week & I live in Near you so crazy. Def wanna meet you one day made me love Porsche’s so much more. 🙏🏽✊🏾
Love the opening with Carmina Burana and your video in general!
Love your videos. Looking forward to your options video.
What a beautiful car! The most perfect color combination. 🙌🏽❤️
Interior looks beautiful and modern.
Really helpful video - love your even-handed yet quirky approach - realised that my M2C is just a 911 substitue and I’ve found your videos very helpful in deciding the 911 genre! Looking forward to you options review on the 992 - very hard to make sense of specs without your first hand experience. I’m thinking plain-Jane 4 as a fun drivers vehicle
Thank you Nick, great review! I value your opinion a lot and agree with you a lot. Owning a base 991.1 C2 and (still) loving mine. Also the 992 is a real beauty and I would trade it any second if I would have the extra cash.
Really agree with the comments regarding enjoying the simple act of driving.
You can configure multifunction button on steering wheel in your Macan to use it as forward button for music
My only gripe is shiny black plastic on the center console
T Bone Totally! It’s going to scratch so easily, and every fingerprint will show.
@@Fluterra So just don't touch or scratch it
agree : bring back the good old buttons !
T Bone from looking at hundreds of u_tube videos, I agree(d). Now, I’ve had mine for a short spell, I don’t even notice it. On camera it looks huge in size, in reality it’s not. There are so many other things to observe, interact, etc., I do not even notice it. Note that Nick didn’t even mention it. There are so many other positive things about this car.....that black piano small strip of geography means nothing. Honest injun!
Mine just came in, jet black with matching wheels, late interior with red leather seatbelts and red ring dials, killer, good video mate.
Thanks Nick 👍
Best review of the 992 !
Beautiful sports car as is...great review ..thank you
They drive sooo smooth and looks good
hello nick. love the spec of this 992.
Nick, another great review. I think your comment about the S power being over 500 bhp is bang on. I saw the results of a dyno on a Carrera 992 and the Porsche advertised 385 was in fact 413.8. I am buying the entry level model. Its quick enough for the UK. Thanks again.
Great review Nick.
Superb! Always without fail you make laugh! Love your videos!
I agree totally with the exterior tweaks, great combination of old Porsche with modern updated lines. The 992 really does not photograph well and looks truly incredible in person - almost a different car than on videos and especially pictures. Cheers!
Thrilled about new videos about sports cars from Nick!
Finally! Nick you took too long but glad you did review the 992. I look forward to your video on the options. May I say I agree when you say a prospective buyer should go and see the cars in person. The colours on the Porsche configurator here in the UK, are not what they really look like in person.
Test drove a 992 today back to back with a T - recently sold my M2C - have to say the 992 was smoother, faster, more comfortable and much nicer engine note than the 991 based T. As for the gear selector - love it - you only need it when starting up or reversing :)
I agree Nick the sound of the naturally 991.1 is far more pleasing. Your last 911 in the blue with the grey and white interior was awesome !
Great review!!
Always enjoyable Nick 👍
thank you for your video impression. One could wait another 2-3 years until they release a 992 manual with the new spyder/gt4 engine and PTV. They say it is not coming, but I think the business case for it is too strong.
Nick, if I ever buy a 911 I will contact you for all your knowledge and insight about them. Awesome review!
Another great video like you I came from M3’s to M5’s and now 991.2 Turbo S so I’m a driver not just look at me.
I’ve seen and driven the 992 Carrera 4s still not excited on the change in the rear end ( 992 Turbo/S the rear end has changed I like that one better) and the electric razor for a shifter just weird.
Power is really amazing unlike what I drive just to much power rarely do I get to open it up. In my defense when I bought it I was looking for the same power I had in my F90 M5, I quickly learned all power is not created equal.
Thought of you as my first fault light lit up my heart stopped the Front Axel lift system malfunctioned ,
They found it right away just a lose connector. After my first yr the car is still amazing to drive, thanks again for a great review of the 992.
Bought the new m5 after a month sold it... the new transmission ruined the fun in that car.... I ran back to the m3 this time a cs!
I’ve been looking forward to this.... your videos always remind me of 2001 A Space Odyssey..
I'm excited for you Nick! But with all those screen and tech I'm also very scared for you :( I hope this one goes better for you!!
Just got back from an hour long test drive of the 992 Carrera 2S with PDK at Porsche Warwick (RI) and I’m with Nick on most aspects of this beautiful car. The interior is just incredible. Can only be appreciated with your own eyes and hands. The sound and the power are better than you read in the articles. Full throttle from 2nd to 3rd gear is mind-blowing. So steady and solid at speed in corners. I could go on and on. I may get an allocation for a 2S with a manual transmission, bc while I loved the fun of the paddle shifters, I can’t buy this car without a stick. But my build is just north of $140k so I am now debating whether to wait for the 992 GT3 Touring which can probably be acquired “well-equipped” for around $160k. Decisions!
I am excited to drive one. Super cool.
Another great video! Please do a comparison with the 991.2 , drag race and all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Finally just saw my first wild 992 in Chattanooga TN. Pure White unfortunately. It had Guards Red Chrono and Instrument Dials. Probably deviated stitching but seats were covered.
This car looks so nice.
I feel the same way about the technology as you feel about the power they put out now. The new interior looks too tech for me. As an owner of a few 911's over the years, I went with the last of the 991.2 C4 and absolutely love it. The old ones had less tech to go wrong making them almost bulletproof. Never fixed them. And what do you think about that mini shifter now? Do you need tweezers to operate it?
I would expect the Connecticut dealership to give Nick an exceptionally good deal on his next car. He definitely deserves it. All the best and good luck, Nick!
I think this is the best looking 911 since the 993. Love it.
great review nick.
I’ve been waiting for your take on this car for so long. One of the most realistic and detailed person I’ve ever seen! I’d love to see a comparison of the 991.2 sport exhaust and the 992. I know the 992 crackles a bit but I’m interested in seeing the direct comparison and I know you can make it happen!
I think the main reason why many complained about the noise was because most reviewers tested it on a European specced 911 with a GPF. Living in America, you have the privilege of unleashing the full exhaust note.
Wahab .Goldsmith yes you’re right about that. The 992 I tested in its loudest setting was more muted than my Carrera T in normal mode. It’s was a heartbreaking experience. WHAT had Porsche done to the 911! And the lateral screens down right annoy me Nick!
Nord Mann sadly we can’t blame Porsche but rather the new Noise regulations in the EU. It’s a real shame.
Wahab .Goldsmith maybe we should stop this nonsense hysteria and get rid of these lawmakers?
Nord Mann I’m down! Haha
Got to agree. I loved the sports exhaust on my 991. I could spend all day lifting off at 4K rpm and listening to those crackles. The sports exhaust on my (UK spec) 992 is so disappointing. Much like the Goodyear Eagles fitted as standard. Why? Handling on the other hand is mind bending. The turn in is immensely satisfying. The acceleration is markedly harder and the interior is finally 21st century. And the looks as Nick says are much better in real life.
Hi Nick..... Thanks for your most excellent review.... I,m looking at changing my car sometime soon and your points and comments are really really useful.... especially the bit about being able to turn off the volumetric alarm inside ( we have family hound who always comes with us ) plus the other tips
So thanks for that.
But I,m a bit torn between 991.1 GT3 and the new model 992 Carrera S....
Would appreciate your advice if you get a spare minute.... GT3 here in the UK I can buy for less money than the new 992 but other points nobody mentions are running costs with fuel etc and with the GT3 if you have a puncture or need to change a tyre you have to go to a Porsche Dealer as they are the only ones who have a suitable wheel brace/spanner to get your wheels off..... then you have to pay Porsche Dealer prices!!!!
Is the radar and camera driver assistance system able to be turned off? I hate that with a vengeance.
And what about things like the lights? Quality of audio system and how does it handle in the wet?
Rains a lot here in the UK
Cheers
Loving your work though fella
Thanks
Regards
Roger
Yeah your back...Good times here again
Great video as always ... I test drove a 992 for a day and it's a fantastic piece of kit, possibly too many electronic gadgets for my taste. My main concern was when driving on the UK "B" Roads it felt too big and possibly too fast when I was pushing on a bit, it had me wincing a few times when vans or 4x4s drove past in the opposite direction..... I'm sure you will be happy if you buy one.
I am not a fan of Alcantara but I love ultra suede, got a neighbor who is an NBA player and he got the headliner of his Escalade re-trimmed in ultra suede years ago and that just felt so luxurious.
This as a Carrera T with Manual PTV and Sport-Tex 👍🏻
Can’t believe you didn’t shred a mm or two off those tyres in that empty car park.
Nice video.
My favorite of all the reviews you've done. I agree about the spoiler. I don't think they look cool at all, but some people love having the spoiler up while they're driving 30 MPH.
Yes - totally agree with you on the Alcantara. Useless material for steering wheels, flat surfaces and areas that everyone touches!
Alcantara roof lining looks good an doesn’t wear.. but I agree that on places that get touched a lot it doesn’t work!
Great review, Nick! I borrowed (rented) a 992 C4S in Switzerland this summer, and the only real design flaw I noticed was the interior door lever, that can pinch your pinky or ring finger when opening the door. I drove from Lucerne to the Alps and back. It felt like a Mercedes. Through tunnels, the flat-6 sounds mean and purposeful. In the tightest of turns, it felt as nimble as my MX-5. The new carbon ceramic brakes are actually usable in traffic. Hit the push-to-pass button and the car downshifts from 8th to 2nd instantly and now the car is at 6,000 RPM happily awaiting your foot’s command to break the laws of physics. I’ve daily-driven only manuals since 2009, but the immediacy of the PDK combined with the power delivery of the new 9A2 made me think that someday I could give up manual transmissions and be perfectly fine with PDK. Heresy, I know.
I have been waiting for a video on this car.
Thanks Nick! I have wanted to purchase a 911 Carrera since I put a poster on the wall back in 1982. I could only afford a used RX-7 back then. I am looking forward to your promised options video on the 911 992 as I am seriously thinking of a 2021 manual Carrera 4S next production year. However I fear, the money saved on a basic interior will disappear into the higher overall price. European delivery anyone?
Such a clean car. Targa is the one for me once I'm man enough to go to the dealer.
Those wheels look amazing!
No one reviews 911’s better. Bravo, as always
Nick, the perfect solution is to wait for the 992 Carrera T! The base engine (probably) as well as all the handing options you could want..Manual, PTV, PASM, RAS, Limited slip diff., as well as your favorite seats.....LWB of course. (Well, I guess you could do without the LWB's!) I did the same for my 991.2 T and absolutely love it. Most balanced and best handling Porsche I've ever owned!
Time for you to get behind the wheel of an Evora GT, Nick.
Nick is that the base interior leather with no upgrade? Been waiting for your review on the 992, thank you.
As a current Porsche owner with a 2020 cayenne on order, there are not enough buttons in here! All the different button configurations are crazy, there should be easier access for all of those different modes and setting. I know I’m always using them, and it’s a little annoying having to go through the screen all the time. Overall though, huge improvement!
Actually there are enough buttons for what you need to access. There are 3 programmable one's. One on the steering wheel and 2 of the 4 just below the main screen. I have had 10+ Porsche's of all types and this is the best ! In my opinion :-)
DugPug that’s fair. I mean yeah I haven’t actually been in the new 992 yet so im just speculating. Any change porsche makes initially bothers me but as always it eventually grows on me haha
Couldn't agree more Nick, make mine in green with a manual gearbox as well.
Nick, what do you think about the cloth seats? like the ones on your 4s? thinking of ordering the 992 manual next year with the black cloth seats with white stitching but don't know how they hold up compared to leather. Also I'm thinking of painting my current wheels (Rs spyder design on 991.2 carrera S in guards red) want to paint them satin aurum now an option so i figured the bodyshop has the color codes and all but haven't seen them in real life and none of the cars in the dealership have a set to see them, how do they look in the real world?
If/when I buy my new Porsche I'm gonna go thru Nick!
My black jag had oyster color wheels that look great on it.
These look darker.....
Hi Nick....great thoughts about the 992. I just got mine!...a Gentian Blue S, standard beige interior which looks great! I'm really glad that the 992 is more usable as a DD, with better suspension and better ride quality (necessary in the LA area, with our poorly maintained roads). Porsche must have added more acoustic insulation, because the tire noise has been greatly reduced. This was the main gripe I had about my 2015 911. The new 992 is a blast to drive and far more comfortable than the 991, IMHO.
