    2022 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS review! Today I'm reviewing the 911 GTS, and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the new 911 GTS -- which is an excellent midpoint in the 911 model range. I'll also review the driving experience of the new Porsche 911 GTS, and let you know what it's like behind the wheel.

    Porsche has always been a little more than the typical Sports car… but the pricing has gotten out of hand, especially options which are almost must have items. Add just a few things to this and you are pushing $170,000. It's ridiculous

    • @BabyKobeeee

    • @JabbaFanzz
      @JabbaFanzz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +84

      It hurts me so much to agree with this but here we are...the prices are horrible and yet that is unfortunately part of the reason why they are as successful as they are. Same goes for any other type of luxury item. Same (almost) can be said about Ferrari. Surely there are other examples as well but this is what came into my mind.

    • @k.w5804
      @k.w5804 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Yea and GTS seems to be a good bargain compared to C4S when the usually performance options you want to add anyway. Way too expensive but I think even with that price tag, it would still be kinda hard for Porsche to recoup the R&D costs. Sadly sports cars just don't make money these days.

      @@nica711 To be honest: I never drove a US or JP manufactured car and accepted the fact that, over the years, you can't even change a tiny light bulp without removing the whole front lights (except for workvans). This is a problem you get with almost every car model from every european brand. Concerning the brake jobs you mentioned: you are absolutely right. Completely unnecesarry. But overall there's not much left to do on new cars for somebody who learned in the 80s or 90s. At least not in the engine bay. In Germany even the official term "car mechanic" changed to "car mechatronic" in the early 2000s and apprenticeship in that workfield focused more and more on electronics and software based workflow (odb). That's why i drive a 1986 Opel Monza.

    Man, just a timeless, beautiful car. Every day I find myself more smitten with the 911- save for a few models. The sheer sleekness shows how Porsche has been able to retain this design. Any car nut has "that one" (or a few) car(s) that are held above all else- our dream car(s). Ever since I was a young man, the C3 Corvette, to me, is the sexiest car to ever exist- And my dream car. That, and a Morgan Aero 8 GT coupe. The 911 has now joined the dream car list. This goes way, way beyond looks, clearly. I finally got a Corvette (sadly, not a C3) for my 40th birthday, and I absolutely love it. By my calculations, I could have the used Porsche that I've considered buying by the time I'm about 130. I've never even driven a 911, but I am now dead set on owning one after reading from hundreds of articles and enthusiast's about how truly great they are. Point being, the Corvette is plenty reliable to last me another 90 years.

    My favorite 911. This is the one to buy because you can get it in a Targa, have a rear seat delete, easier to get an allocation than a GT3, and can be easily tuned to over 600 hp if you want to void the warranty

    Remember when these were obtainable for people, even if they had to save up a little longer than they would for a Vette? Remember when Porsche came out with the Cayman because the 911 got too expensive and wanted to give people a chance to experience Porsche enthusiast driving bliss, and now they got too expensive as well?
    Shits just too expensive.
    I'm not a Vette guy, but even I will say it's an incredible performance car, and outside of scumbag stealership mark ups, it's obtainable for people. If not, you have Supra which is very OG Cayman like in experience. And now the Z, which will likely be C7 Vette like experience, just not built like trash and actually has a nicer quality interior.

I hate the fact that society tries to demonize men & place men into boxes.... Especially when it comes to men enjoying their lives and buying what they want.

    I’m thinking about buying one. I bought one of the first 997 GT3s and still have it, but haven’t been to the track in probably 7 years. I’m used to it for weekend getaways, but it’s always an adventure going on long road trips - it’s impossible to enjoy while grabbing liquor and groceries in unfamiliar places in unfamiliar towns and it sucks in any kind of wet weather. Scraping the front splitter is inevitable and I’m replacing it yearly. Rear tires are gone or just too diminished after about 5k miles to be safe and keep the performance the car deserves and I usually end up doing the fronts at the same time.
    This car seems worth a look for a person like me, but I’m so attached to my GT3 even though I’m probably too old for it lol.
