- Porsche 911 Carrera 997 Review featuring a 2006 Carrera RWD manual model with under 60k miles. With car prices soaring through the roof, the 997 Porsche Carrera seems to be a decent bargain. See my 2008 Mercedes E63 AMG Review: • 2008 Mercedes E63 AMG ...

Also I forgot to mention in this review, I am 5' 11" and I have plenty of space inside the vehicle, you can be well over 6' tall and fit but getting in and out can be a tad difficult due to this being a low slung vehicle. Just something to note.
Please can you review the Cayenne 957 S or Turbo S. Thanks a fan from west Africa Nigeria 🇳🇬. 🙏
Already did just search the channel it was the Turbo model
@@MeynMotorGroup , the blue one right? I’ve watched it but thought it was the 955. Wanted to know if the 957 was a really big deal step up from the 955. Thanks for the response though ✌🏾
The 997.1 is one of the best looking cars ever made In my opinion. This is from a simple understated elegant point of view. It is cool, but not too cool. It is showy, but not too showy. The lines are perfect. You are right, In person they look unbelievable. My dad bought one new in 2006, and still has it to this day. Even when I get board of looking at it, and I look at other cars, like Ferraris, Etc. I always come back to it. Great review!
Great observation!. I am looking for my 911 997.1 or .2 at the moment. Hopefully get one soon!. 😁
Your reviews are the best cause they're cars we can consider rather than other youtubers who just review super high end cars that most of us wont ever get in our life.
Really appreciate that my friend I def try to have a good mix of content and featuring some affordable options is something that I always want to incorporate
Nice review it made me subscribe keep the videos coming 👏🏽👍🏽🤜🏽
My father owns this exact car. He bought a used one last year. His 997 is from 2008, and I think the next year in 2009 they changed it ever so slightly with updated interiors and what not. Whenever I go home to visit my parents, I always like taking this car around town. Whether it’s to visit old friends, or visit my cousins… this car gets attention. Phenomenal car.
Also I do agree with your stance on Continental tires. I have the Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires on my car and they ride well, are quiet and last a long time.
Beautiful car, great review as always!
Thanks!
Sweet Thanks Kevin!
As far as handling for someone who is not a professional driver, how much difference is there between the 997 C2s and the C4s? I live in an area of the country where it rains a lot so I’m curious about the wet handling especially between the AWD C4s and the C2s.
Not a Porsche man, but will still watch your reviews. They are enlightening!
Really appreciate that my friend thank you for the support!
😅 he meant he’s not a “porsche guy”
@@Earl_Wallace happens to the best of us.. eventually it gets us 😅😂 thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your support
Driven a carrera 4s not the quickest thing in a straight line but alot of fun in the bends
Good info. Slick car for the day. Performance, the C-8 or a hellcat will bury it. Still, if you want to own a Porsche, this may be the one.
Good review.
Just my opinion but the tiptronic transmission in the 997.1 is the better option than the pdk in the 997.2 as it is far more reliable than any generation dual clutch and who honestly is going to use the manual mode in an automatic very often. If you care about interacting with the transmission just buy the manual.
You're right my friend PDK is very expensive outside of warranty. Thank you so much for stopping by and massive congrats on your 997.1 Porsche! God Bless!
997s are probably one of the nicest exteriors...modern but with that 993 flair
Yea I def agree with that good looking ride
I would like you to compare those cars, which are closest lc500 rivals to lc500 itself, it is very interesting to me - lc500 owner
I love this 997 Porsche 911! Best shape in my view
Love how it looks in person and I know silver is not the most exciting color but man this thing really looked crisp and fresh in silver. Previous owner took great care of it
@@MeynMotorGroup good to hear! Even watching your video, this car looks really beautiful
The 997.1 base is a nice 911. However, must be cognoscente of the IMS bearing issue and the bore scoring. Two real issues and two very expensive fixes or preventative maintenance.
Well-sorted 997.1's should be in the mid $35K - $40k range depending on mileage, number of owners, and condition. Preference always to the manual 6 speed.
Lots of beat 911s out there with a lot of owner history you don't want to know. Many available on back alley used car lots in CA, NJ, TX, etc.
Older models frequently purchased by people who can barely afford rent and maintenance will take a back seat. May even have a repossession in its history.
Take the time to find a good one and pay a bit more.
The 911 is an easy car to love.... I just never took the time to study all of the different variations.
That's true it is a classic
Quad exhaust is a definite ✅
Loved that
Sounds good
Are the calipers just painted red? Cosmetically this looks like the s variant.
Great look at this Porsche, just a beautiful car with out all the fuss I think and something you can drive without crashing it or handing your licence to the Cops.Cheers Brenton. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you my friend! Yea this was a pretty great experience
I still really want one of these
Nice car for sure
I like the Car, thanks Kevin 😀
Thanks for watching!
Lexus and the Porsche are the true legends.
Very true
The 991.2 is my favorite 911 variant between the 996-992 and still hope to have a 991 but with how inflated prices are on them, some generic Turbo/Turbo S models going for as much as $300k unlike pre pandemic they were 120-200k for a 991.2 Turbo/Turbo S cabrio if those prices stay that high I’ll happily stick with the LC500 and just rent Porsches and other fast cars I can’t legally enjoy on normal streets and play with them at our vegas race tracks. For $300-600 I could rent a 911 GT3 for hours of fun.
I’m happy that Lexus IS going to offer more interior trim color choices for the LC500 which has been the only thing holding me back, only having Black or Brown as an option is quite boring.
Renting for the short term is a great way to get some of these expensive cars out of your system
@@MeynMotorGroup agreed, not to mention not having to pay the insurance on those vehicles and allows you variety to try. Here in vegas you can rent Lamborghinis, Mclarens, Porsche, Ferraris, etc all for a few hundred to $2k per day which is plenty of time to get it out of one’s system. Meanwhile keeping the LC, and other reliable vehicles in the garage.
You hear that the 2022+ model years of LC500 will get the new interior option similar to the 2021 LC500 convertible inspiration series?
@@AbsolutMassager Oh yea if you're in Vegas with an LC, you're doing the right thing that place is an exotic car rental utopia, just enjoy the exotics that way. In NC we don't have nearly as many options for renting.
Yea I made a video on my thoughts on the 2022 LC, they reintroduced a blue/white interior but I was really hoping for an F Sport variant to come out, not necessarily a full TT V8 F but an F sport with a reworked exhaust etc.
@@MeynMotorGroup I completely agree, I don’t get the point of the F sport SUVs and not bother to give the LC an F sport package. Bad enough there’s no transmission cooler for the V8 like the RCF, GSF, ISF have which makes track and canyon carving of the LC that much more fun.
@@MeynMotorGroup another perk I should mention at least in my state with regards to the LC500 is the insurance group. If I got a new LC500 to replace my 2010 Infiniti G37 coupe my insurance would only go up by $14/mo but if I get a Lexus LS500, a Porsche 911 991.2, McLaren 720S to name a few my insurance would go up by $150/mo. So the LC500 is not only great as a GT car but great on the wallet for long term insurance rates.
Kia k5, Mazda 6,Hyundai Sonata which is the best??
all 3 are great maybe get the Mazda for the best dealership support
Would love to see some review on 911's from the 80's or earlier. Especially the Turbos.
Man I hate driving older cars like this I'm afraid of getting stranded or the thing starts leaking oil...I don't wanna be responsible lol
Exhaust Sports Auto oil leaks on old Porsche's are deferred maintenance. Old Porsches are like Toyotas, they very reliable these cars can go 300 k before a. Engine rebuilt if properly maintained.
And they were 911 cs one was low miles 32 k 52 k no way in mint shape 37- 39 k
All hail algorhythm 🙌🏻 🌝
Maintenance is king so check the records
Fortunately the cars they get here to sell are the ones that were meticulously maintained but that's most 911 owners which is good
Nice car
agreed
997 turbo would be a great car for the money 😎
True
I think this is the perfect 911 because it's fast enough, handles great and a very liveable car. Sure, the turbo is better but I think 911s like the GT3 or Turbo are the types of vehicles you graduate to after having been invested in the Porsche world for a while.
This Is The Gen 911 I’m Getting🔮🧿
You will def enjoy it!
besides those wheels and that kinda crapy interior for the money ,its a great car as all modern 911 are. a set of BBS LM style wheels would look bomb on this car
Yooo bro
Its celled fried eggs
I just can't with these lil cars kissing the road the speed is cool but I'm going suv trucks from here on out.
To each their own
Love mine and kept money in the bank
Great Vehicle Assessment ! The "IMS" failure rate on these 997's is around 50% and according to DeMuro will require an engine replacement. Best not to risk it and budget the 5-6K to change it out right away if the previous owner did not. BTW - How does the air conditioning perform in these models ? Many owners state it is very inadequate in its cooling ability in hotter climates. Really appreciate the insight fella' - 🔜 💯 👌
50%? Sounds off. 5k to replace? Also sounds off.
Not even close
You're wrong as 50% is a BS number. Try again with facts
M97 engine received the 3rd gen IMS bearing. Due to the large diameter and placement inside the shaft, it cannot be replaced without an engine rebuild. The reason Porsche designed it as “do not touch”. Failure rate is so insignificant and rare that I don’t lose any sleep over it. However, Bore Scoring (which requires engine rebuild) is so common that it’s inherited especially as milage gets over 100,000 kms that you may want to spend the time researching some prevention. Prospective buyers of Cayman and 911 should do a bore score in their PPI.
"It grants you so much in society." Not even a little vapid.
Why?
@@MeynMotorGroup if someone is relying on a car to provide them with "access to lawyers and doctors" then they need to reevaluate their priorities.
Happens all day everyday, the realities of living in a superficial world. People use wealth, status, fame, etc to get what they want ALL the time. Like it or not, that is the reality we live in.
@@jmhouck It's called "fake it till you become it/ practice till you become."Works most of the time... Hell i've gotten business by incorporating it.
@@derrickdavis7917 For sure cars are a great networking tool many real estate agents and other business owners will have vehicles like this and the people they meet and the connections they form simply by owning a slightly more exotic car like this pays for the vehicle 10x over. Nobody goes to cars and coffee to converse with the guy who pulled up in a bicycle, instead they're talking to the guys with cars like this. Just the way it is.
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
They are dreaming you can get them for 24 k now All day long
Ha yea maybe some salvaged title rusted out junk from up north with 400k miles and 20 accidents and owners sure
