Still love the styling of this car even 27 years later.
So does Porsche, that's why it hasn't changed.
@@bghoody5665 It’s gotten bigger but overall the same design. I like this smaller version better.
Ngl this is my fav gen of porsche, especially the gt2 spec
Cute and friendly looks. That has changed IMHO…
My dad’s first 911 was a 95 C4 Coupe so this clip is a real treat.
My dad's first 911 was a 00 C2 Coupe with amber turn signals! His second was an 03 911 Turbo. I still miss the latter to this day forever and ever.
My dad could never afford a car, and the first and only bike he bought me was a second hand red bmx with red and yellow padding, at the flee market, which to me was a like an exotic sports car back then and I would look after like that. Good memories.
My dad killed himself and we grew up in poverty. But good to know there were some rich kids out there enjoying themselves.
@hey it's pete god bless.
I'm gonna be saving this one for dinner time. The highest honor a TH-cam video can have. lol
993 to me is peak 911😍
If you watch all of MW’s 911 videos in order they all say “until the advent of the current 911, all previous models exhibited a tendency to snap oversteer…”
"But with the big anti-lock equipped disk hauling it smoothly down from 60 and an average of 103 ft, Who cares!" -John Davis 1995
I think this is the prettiest 911. It’s simple and sleek, even elegant. Finally, I think it still looks contemporary.
The pinnacle of old and new. Wonder why 993s are so valuable?! Look no further! You don't need the Turbo!
Waiting for some guy to comment how his new Camry is faster.
The 993 was the car I lusted for in High School. I was watching prices throughout the early 2000’s waiting for them to depreciate into my $30k range.
They got down to the low 40’s around the 2008 financial crisis and have skyrocketed since. So much for that dream.
Why do you bad mouth Porsch in the first place? Porsch depending on which model your choice from. Maybe depanding which model your choice from can be cheap excepted the 911! The 911 ALWAYS you cost much more than the cheaper models! My Favor Porsch was any of the 928 models and trim line is in my hearts! My late father own Brand New a 1960'sh 356 C hardtop and my uncle had a 365 D more like a racing sport car. I was born in July 1969. All I do rember was it wasn't met to be like a family car. My dad 365 C was Sliver, and My Uncle was Red!
@@sutterpark I believe there is something lost in translation. I am saying that I really liked the 1995-1998 Porsche 911. I am not bad mouthing it.
964 depreciated even harder. Now they're both sick expensive. And will definitely still raise in value. These are very special cars.
@@alanradtke6048 yeah no shit!
Yeah, in the early 2000s I got a used C5 Corvette convertible, but at the dealer they had some Porches as well, and for the $35k I was spending, if you wanted Porsche, you were getting a slow Boxster that didn't even look good. Had they had a 911 in that range I would have at least given it a look, but even the cheapest used one was in the 40s.
This is what comes to mind when I think of Porsche. Love these.
Been watching Motorweek since 1981 and couldn't wait for Saturday to come.
22mpg average is quite nice For a car in this class especially for the time
The government got away with scamming them for $1000 gas guzzler tax
This was and still is my favorite 911, the low slung tail, the gorgeous wheels, that cute yet common face.
In '95 my heart used to melt when I saw one of these, especially in red or silver, while I was driving my '76 car, which it self was a rare 'muscle' car.
What car was it?
I've a 1996 993 C2, iris blue metallic, 60,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny. No CEL, no oil leaks. I'm never gonna sell it!
This is my favorite generation of the 911, both because of its design and the fact it had the last air-cooled engine.
The 993 C4S was my favorite 993. Beautiful body, just enough power, outstanding brakes, those perfect doors . . . If it’s possible to love a door, then these are marriage material.
LOVE the Porsche 993!💥🔥💥
Still my favorite Porsche to this day.
Price is the equivalent of 128k in todays money
I love how they make these videos look retro even though they’re brand new!
I'm exactly as old as this car! Lol! Nostalgia!
Ironic that good examples of 964's and 993's are now way more expensive than when they were new.
13.7 @ 105 is STILL fast
Nice touch with Kraftwerk Autobahn song. ;)
RIGHT?! I came to the comments immediately to see who else called this out xD
Looks good going through the slalom.
Great driving 993.
Lightweight no need for AWD though.
Last of the aircooled.
4:30
😆 Can u imagine Motorweek today saying the Porsche 911s "cargo bay is in the _wrong_ end of the car" ?
God I LOVE Retro Reviews!!
Still my favorite body style.
Love these retro car reviews!
makes you appreciate cars being unique vs everything being cookie cut and boring now
This is My dream Porsche
Such a beautiful Ride 😍
The power numbers don't put my 968 to as much shame as I thought.
Still want one.
I hope you kept your 968. They didn't sell many of them, which makes them rare now!
@@masterchinese28 still got it. Solid driving example of an early base coupe.
The car of my dreams back then and now
4:30 John: AND THE NICELY EXPANDED CARGO BAY, IT’S 20% BIGGER THAN BEFORE, IS STILL IN THE WRONG END OF THE CAR! LOL
Some things never change. Like the fact that this car would still for 65k today.
What track was that playing at 4:17? Groovy
Carrera 4 Ever
1995 was the last year of ODB1, then came ODB2 in 1996.
Back in the 1990's the 911 was very round and happier comparing the past 911! Today 911 of 2023 is more advents is a whole bunch of safety items and can be a Hybrid or all electoral or who knows in the future it can fly?
oh man I bet there is at least 6 of these things still on the road.
Beautiful
Any way that you could post a video of the test drive of a 1990 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight as I have one that is my daily driver. Thanks.
Carly Simon loves her Porsche
Porsche carreira é sensacional além de ser muito clássico é bem bonito 👍😁😁
Carro desse é lindo demais replica Porsche carreira é sensacional 👍👍👍
Honestly impressive af it had an automatic spoiler back then...
The retracting spoiler was introduced in 89 with the 964 model
996 C4 is a much better car all the way around, 993 are great investments though.
993’s bank vault build quality and industrial strength interior materials didn’t make it to the 996 though. Find a 996 today and slam the door on that versus a 993 and it will tell you all you need to know. Not hating on 996’s as I’ve had several and am a big fan of them
I don't notice any issue with solid sound when shutting my door on my car. Maybe it does affect all? I have a very high optioned '03 996 C4 Cab with X51 power package, full carbon fiber interior, sport exhaust, Carrera wing, aero package. Love the car. It's a blast to drive. I don't think I'm missing anything that a 993 would give me, other than resale value. I'm a fan of all 911s though.
That was the last 911 I liked, before it turned into an overweight, and middle-aged GT. But the prior model (964-C4) hit the sweet spot best for me.
996 was a disaster right?
The 996 was actually quite a bit lighter and more nimble than the 993. Virtually all contemporary reviews reported much improved performance, from driving/handling dynamics to acceleration. Crazy I know. I would still pick the 993 if given the choice
@@georgecarlin2097 if only the 996 had the looks of the 993. at least the 997 got things back on track. the 991 and 992 look even better to my eye, but they're huge. still, all are tremendous cars.
it has to be Porsche no compromise every safety futures available by the time was implemented perfect timeless Porsche ever
I love the looks of the 993. Last of the air cooled engines.
Nope, 1998 was the last air-cooled 911.
@@brianlee9233 I know. 993 production lasted until 1998.
@@brianlee9233 he didn't say this was the last year...lol...
I'd record all these episodes as a kid, then I'd skip through anytime they talked about Eurotrash cars.
Unsolved case: which one is better in 911 world; Rear or AWD?
Man I love Porsche’s! And I’m a poor sap!👌😍👉♥️👍
Best color for 911, white
Best colour for scores of cars, white.
Best color for 911 and worst color for G80 M3/G82 M4 - White.
White is nice. But so are Arena Red and Iris Blue. Just plain awesome colors.
Nossa esse Porsche atingi em auta velocidade máxima 👍😁
nice
That is $116,000 in todays money.
Muito da hora 👍😁
vroom! vroom! watch NO MANS LAND
👍
I love this model, before it got too bloated...
You have no taste of Porsche since you like to make fun of!
@@sutterpark Lol! I like the old, classic 911's from the late 60's to the mid 70's. Those were works of art.
@@dfk09 That true, Mine was not a 911 love but mine was a discounted Porsch 928 any trim works for me but needs to be in auto no stick! My late father and uncle both had 356 sport cars. My dad had a 356C hardtop in sliver and my uncle had a 356D more a race car in red!
JOHN DAVIS!!
Sweet ride but interior looks like 1975.
That styling is what makes it iconic and cool.
Have you sat inside a 75’
The 993 is similar though if you sat inside and on 993 you realize it’s more refined and the door cards of excellent quality and design, more modern than the previous generations
The air cooled Porsche’s are a nice blast from the past but almost as fussy and unreliable as the newer versions with things like IMS bearing failures that cost more to fix than the entire car is worth. And much less expensive cars from other countries can embarrass 911’s around even the German Nuremberg Ring. Welcome to “superior” German engineering.
Absolute crap. Air cooled Porsches are extremely simple and reliable cars when serviced properly.
Are you speaking from experience?
How do you think Porsche built their reputation?
They’re also amazing fun to drive in a way you do. They are visceral.
