Glad everyone enjoyed the review of my 911s Cab and loved everyone's comments.
Falling in love with that Gorgeous Red/Black interior , there are not may exterior colors to choose from that match. Black White or Caulk . In my cars case Carrera White is more like a dirty white vs the white , and makes the car just so more sexy looking !
The decals where a back and forth call, but can be easily removed, if there don't grown on you.
Nick, I didn't think to mention, we should have reviewed and drove the car with the top up, the wind noise is not real noticeable unless your over 80 mph.
Anyhow , Its a great fun car , I may love being a poser more then shifting the manual transmission !
Thanks Everyone
Mike
yaaaaah to no pee dee kayyy
beautiful spec! nicely done
Thx for teaming up with Nick so all of us can learn something about 911 cabriolets. Love those honest and down to earth reviews, which aren't sponsored or anything.
I can't imagine what people think when they see a middle aged man driving around in a $100K+ 911 cabriolet with a stuffed Gorilla in the back seat.
... and filming himself :-D
Nothing more normal in the world.
Well, I think I can... ;)
They think he is a tad mad but likely has money all over the place because he likely has never been married saving him a zillion dollars in wife keeping expenses like haircuts, eyelash extensions, fingernails and thousands on little jars of cream stuff that was extruded from the private parts of horses. So they think there goes a guy who is enjoying his life and has the time and mental happiness to put a stuffed gorilla in his car to substitute for the true luxury purchase a - good looking wife. I had a not so attractive wife and in retrospect she was a lot cheaper and was more useful than my several model caliber wives . Kind of like how Nick has found that his older model - already dented and in poor shape overall - is actually a lot more enjoyable than a brand new 992 that is too pretty to drive in the rain with top down and must be parked hundreds of feet away from other cars and you can’t give to a valet.
In conclusion- all the other guys that see you a smart guy that got away - and is enjoying his stuffed animals and all the gals think there is a guy that some gal should corral and take away his silly impractical car and his stuffed animals. Most guys would love some flashing light things all over their house - but what wife would allow that? I had one of those cool Lava Lamps I bought on Amazon on a whim to revisit my college days and how long do you think that lasted in “our” bedroom.
Then there are some people who assume you are a poser who bought an older cheap Porsche convertible who wants to date 20 year olds who don’t know your car was not particularly expensive because all Porsche sports cars look the same to a 20 year old girl and they still love cuddling stuffed animals. The only additional lure you need are two really cute dogs - young ladies love small dogs in the back seat…. Oh yeah…. Nevermind….
@@atlasrex You see marriage so pessimistically. I feel bad for you.
That cabriolet with a MT will instantly be a unicorn. I would take it.
if anything, the FedEx joke was worth watching this video
992 cab is absolutely stunning. best looking 911 cab ever if you ask me
Would be great if you could do a similar episode with the new 992 Targa!
Second this!
I owned a 2013 Carrera S Cab with the 7 Spd manual. So I am a fan of a Porsche drop top ! to me there is nothing like open top driving !
The gorilla ears flapping made me happy
Forget the haters Nick. You're great!
How can anyone hate Nick? Such a gracious, delightful guy he is.
Nick loves dogs, he has to be a good guy! 😀
Great spec on your friend's cabriolet. The full colour-matched leather seatbacks are a smart touch as they're fully visible to others when top-down.
Great to see you again Nick (and William)
I have the 997.2cabriolet and love it. Yes its noisier with the top up but hardly unbearable. And with the rear windscreen (not built in with my older model, its a retrofit) it reduces the wind and wind noise dramatically and we ride with the top down as low as 45 degrees, usually from April into November in. the northeast.
For people who want a 911 as a sort of primary car year round in colder temperature areas like the northeast then yes, get a coupe. We have a Cayenne for that.
The cabriolet is a wonderful, delightful care year round and since we wouldn't use a 911 for longer trips anyway, its great. Like all things its a matter of choice, but for 5 months a year the top down is a delight.
I agree a cabriolet is a stunning porsche 911 and soaking up the sun and wind is a wonderful experience. ..the coupes cool ye t the drop tops even better.
Finally you put up the wind screen silly! You can’t beat the ride with the top down, and the soft top insulation is great when the top is up. What’s not to love???
Actually it is not a soft top. There are 4 magnessium panels (if you include the one that rear window is placed on) which are covered by canvas top, thus result in coupe like noise insulation when the top is up. Also when the rear quarter windows are closed, it cuts the wind coming from 3/4 quarter of the car.
Great review - never understood the poser comment as some of the most classic Porsches ever and sports cars in general were ragtops - speedster, convertible D, XK120/40/50 etc.
I have rented a 991 cabriolet for one day. One of the most memorable and fun times I had. The engine sound is amazing with the open top. Still dreaming about having one
I know that cabriolets are somewhat controversial for petrolheads but for me automotive heaven is driving down a country road on a warm summers night in a convertible. I also really like the white and red combination on that car.
Just reviewed a 992 Turbo today. I am in love.
Oh, I think it is the most boring 911 ever made
Had a 991.2 hard top and liked it, but my 992 cabrio is in a direly differently league and TRULY love it. Having a cabrio in FL I thought I’d use it 2-3 months/year due to nasty heat and bugs. Not the case at all. Top down 85% of the time and love that jump on the back!
What type of suspension do you have on the cabrio?
Always bring a smile, when I see a 911 (hardtop or cabriolet) from the Nick!
I drove a 991 cabriolet year round in NYC, Michelin Alpin's and all. The ass frying seat heater, oven blast heat and wind deflector had be going top down comfortably even in the 50's.
(Fairfield serviced of course)
Never had a Porsche cabriolet but i did have a TR6 a long time ago. Great for attracting a significant other although she says it had nothing to do with it.
Nick, I enjoy learning about Porsches from your videos because they don't distract the viewer with humor. It would be great if you did film them in English, as I'm currently dependent on the auto-generated captioning to translate what you're saying. Cheers from the USA!
exactly !
A few points Nick, love the wackiness of your videos and I too own a 993 cabriolet so…
1. Living in the UK and Canada I always envisioned owning a 911 coupe.
2. I’ve had a few soft tops and they ended up being stored in the winter months
3. Fast forward to the present and I live in the US southwest and absolutely love driving my 993 cabriolet.
I still have a 2 door coupe (not a Porsche) but I drive it only when going to the shops.
I love driving through the mountain roads with the sun shining in and taking in all the sounds.
Just another view on things.
Keep up the entertaining videos mate.
There's not so many days where a cabriolet works in the northeast. Seven months of winter and four months of blazing summer heat and humidity leaves about two weeks on either side where the temperature and humidity are ideal for putting the top down. And it usually rains then.
I nearly bought a high spec 991.2 4S Cab about 3 weeks ago. It was a spectacular car that I put a deposit on then - squirrel - I changed my mind and ordered a slick roof C2 with A REAR WIPER.
Well…
As a fan of classical music, I always find your intros … soothing and nice.
What’s even better is, you calling a cabriolet like a is… and NOT a convertible 😂👍😜
Good job sir 👍
If the car is worth less than $50,000 not than it becomes a convertible - not a cabriolet clearly. Only Porsche that have a fabric roof and are worth an irrational amount of money for a car built out of the same components as Volkswagens is called a cabriolet.
Good to see you’re all well, great video as always, cheers Nick.
They are almost like a retractable hard top because the roof is made of magnesium panels rapped in cloth.
Rapped in Cloth sounds like the title of the autobiography of a gang banger rap singer turned clergy.
@@zTheBigFishz That's only part one. Part two is titled Draped in Velvet. It's where he goes back to his roots.
Correct! The soft top is not really a soft top now, as they are magnesium plates covered in cloth unlike the multilayer soft top in my 997 Cab, although I still feel my top is really well insulated and fine anyway. I love driving with the top down, and would only get a cab, as to me it’s just more fun.
The ears of the Gorilla make 5hp alone! Great Video! Even when Nicks voice seemed to be a bit stressed this time.
That Fed Ex joke was great. The setup was perfect, I was really expecting a tru pro lol
Good to see you back doing reviews!! Hoping you get your hands on a new Gt3 some time soon to get your opinion!
I own a 2003 cabriolet and I love it more than I thought. Being a cab I believe the suspension is a touch softer than the hard top, since they really fall into the “grand touring” (IMO). I also think it’s pretty quiet overall especially with the top up. I drove it from Omaha to New Jersey and never did I think it was too noisy or the ride too harsh. It’s by far the best driving and most comfortable car I’ve ever owned. I also own an A4 and 325IX and while those two ride softer, they don’t offer secure handling and ride of my 911. If I ever trade it in then I’d want a panamera.
I love all your vids…seen them all…very informative and entertaining…cheers
Can’t wait for the 992 Speedster with those lovely rear humps 🔥
Have had five great years with my 991.2 Cabriolet. Wonderful car - good for a bit of a poser!! Trading it for a 718 GTS 4.0. Some may say a backward move to go from a 911 to a 718, but check the reviews, including Nicks!!
Yay, new Nick Murray content! I hope you get your hands on a 992 Turbo S/Turbo S Cab soon!
Nick, I’ve sold my Porsche, can I still watch your channel? I bought an F-Type convertible, it’s rather good!
Banned!!! ;)
Nick, love it, good video. I think the degree to which one is bothered by the road noise is a direct function of for how long and how consistently one has been driving a convertible. I've been driving convertibles as daily drivers for a long time and so I find the road noise on the 992 Cab more than acceptable. Now, is it a little louder than my previous car, a 2010 BMW (horrors) 335i cabriolet? Well, yes, but that is a sports SEDAN, not a sports car, and it had a hard top (which btw took forever to raise/lower). I also do find that with all the windows and the windstop up the cockpit on the 992 cab is quite quiet and pretty windless.Your point re highway driving is well-taken though: one should def not drive long highway distances with the top down as that is exhausting. On balance though, since I only buy convertibles, the 992 Cab is a complete win for me!! Thanks again for the great video.
Nick, question. How does it compare to the 993 when you leave it in a closed garage with the engine running for several hours? I feel you’ve left that out of the video completely.
Good point
Nice video Nick. I agree that the red and black leather interior looks great. I have it in my white Carrera.
The side sticker _with_ the fender guard thing is overdoing it IMO.
The owner also feels the same way
@@NickMurray I'm actually really loving the 'shark fins', but agree with the side stickers
Yeah kinda 👀. Would've only chosen the fender guards
Nik, nice results from your photo rigs.
FedEx truck 🤣
Perfect ride
Beautiful! Thanks, Nick
Porsche dropped the noise insulated light glass option on the 911 coupe for 2021. So you might as well buy a Targa or a Cabriolet.
It never really worked anyway
I like FedEx white. Less tickets. Also when I had couple sports cars I found my self driving too fast and racking up tickets. With top down it feels like I’m going fast. Also love sound of engine and exhaust. I’m also in SoCal so it’s easy to have a Can here. Good video !
I fucking knew that the spec was owned by a guy from Long Island! I knew it! And I made that joke on your IG before seeing this video. 😂😂😂😂
Your doggies are adorable. I prefer coupes but I concede the Cabriolet is fine automotive style. But, even if I could afford one, I'd be hard pressed to get one over Porsche's brilliant 718 Boxster.
White- best color for repairs that require paint matching. Cooler on hot days when left in a parking lot and always looks clean unlike dark blue for example thst always looks dirty. Also white looks great with decals like on this cab. Manual transmissions are for old guys who also lids their rotary princess phone. Now do a. M
Do a video on the 992 Targa - a great car. For posers like myself!
Wow is this your new thing? M4 to a Porsche.. the only way to move is up!!
I have long considered swapping my E46 cab for a Boxster, but I'm not crazy about the top-up look of the Porsche vs. the Bimmer tbh (and blistering Southern heat will require a lot of top-up drives). I wish that Porsche did as good a job maintaining the lines of the Boxster as they do with the Cabriolet (humps and all!).
white 911 convertible with red interior, I Love It!
Btw, love your Vivaldi Four Season Winter opening😆, and your content as always >
People think I’m a poser! That sounds like the beginning of a new T shirt slogan! 😂 lovely car 👏
6:15 The taillights look like they are turned on, on the Macan. Is it running in the garage now? LOL
Good job!
I live in snow country, a white car is sometimes not very visible other drivers, which can cause some problems in winter.
The Cab suits you and you should seriously think of getting one. The suave look...
Am I the only one that caught the 992 wheel sizes being staggered with the rolling shutter effect? 997.2 cabriolet owner in Georgia. Wish I could have found a coupe in the spec I was looking for, but I’ve grown to really love top down driving!
I really dig the stone guards on the rear fenders. Pretty rare to see on new models.
Beautiful! I've got the same one here in Barcelona! I've been in Connecticut and at least when I was there, it was cold, extremely cold I'd say, pity you can't enjoy the car as I do next to the beach huh? (Just kidding, have fun) Greetings from Spain!
Could you review/compare the cabriolet v. The Targa, especially for noise with and without the tops down? I’ve heard the Targa buffeting can be terrible and would like to know about that. I had a 914 which was great, but it had no back seat. Great to see you still at it. Been watching you for years.
6:07 looks like a scene from Nolan’s Tenet movie
I have the same Bordeaux Red interior in my Agate Grey 991.2 ... but it's a bit over-the-top for my boring Canadian sensibilities. My wife refers to it as Bordello Red.
Is the wind deflector an option? I bet so!
So glad Nick, William, Smudge, and Tui are back. Was gonna call the milk company to add their missing person photos to the cartons.
Who do I call to get 8 minutes of my life back? Driving a convertible on the highway messes up you hair. Someone call Motor Trend,
Road & Track, and Car & Driver. WoW what a revelation. Jay Leno's Garage worthy story? Poser? Definitely.
BTW Look at that ridiculous camera rig on the rear of the 911. Would have been much more entertaining in the middle of winter right after a blizzard, NorEaster with a little Polar Vortex thrown in.
Stone guards with stripes is too much for me. One or the other. Or neither lol
Thanks Nick, enjoyed that. I have a 991.2 gt3 and thinking about a 992 turbo can to use a bit more for touring with my wife, the gt3 is a bit focused shall we say. Any views
Haterz will say it’s Nick
I’ll take a white over black car any day.
Also gave you a like because it’s a 992.
Great video Nick. Thanks! What's the name of Mike's business?
Liberty Moving & Storage
Is the season to be jolly
Getting ready to uncover the cab !
Just waiting for the roads to get repaired ! Nothing like blowing out a $500 tire !
A very sweet car, I really like the red interior. I am with you in that I prefer the lines of the coupe to those of the cabriolet. That's why I have ordered and am still waiting for my coupe, it is currently held up in port processing at Rhode Island.
Colours?
@@visionist7 Guards Red
@@phila6188 good choice. Black interior?
@@visionist7 Yes black interior.
Coupe for me. But i can see the appeal of the cab for many drivers
So Nick what you do see the pros & cons of a Cabriolet vs a Traga ? ? ?
Cool ride ...
The fed ex joke was too good lol
Great video Nick!!!
Tell us what your plan is regarding owning a 992 911 ?
You got me at "converted to a FedEx" truck
Z4 E89 with the hardtop is the best of both worlds for me
E89 :)
@@oguzhanline right👍
Update on allocations, I've got a new Macan GTS 2022 coming. That was locked early and build shows Jan 10 is build week. It was moved up! 911 C4 GTS 2022 and if we get pushed back much it will be a 2023. The allocation was good till I put the Aero kit in Gloss black on and that became a stop sale. Dealer tells me I waited to long to give hime the build code and the Aero kit is the issue. Allocation given to my buddy and it was accepted with no Aero kit! Because my local dealer is clearly not like by Porsche and gets crap allocations I use a dealer 600 miles away for the 911. Both dealers have offered GT3 at $50k over sticker! GT3 touring at $75k over sticker! What a joke! At those prices I'll buy a Huracan. I ordered white in both cars!! Igloo for plate!
One tip: raise the rear windows and that will further reduce the wind in the cabin.... most people don’t realize that this is possible....
Is the suspension normal pasm or sport pasm? Great video
Nice One Nick! 👍
go to 4:12. you can tell that the rear tires are a smaller diameter than the fronts. Probably tire wear!
What??
@@NickMurray take a look at the wheels. The video is filmed in frames.. It's the wagon wheel effect that you see in old movies where the wheel looks like it's not spinning or spinning in reverse.if the wheels were spinning at the same speed, you would see them spin at the same rate as the car changes speed. This is assuming that both fronts and rears are the same diameter. The 992 has a staggered setup so those wheels spin at different rates. You see the rears on the 993 pin up faster than the fronts, showing that they are spinning slightly faster due to a smaller diameter. It's slight. but definitely apparent. Could be that the rears are more worn than the fronts. Safe assumption on a porsche!
Hey Nick, how about getting a hardtop for your 993?
Or just buy a coupe!
@@NickMurray or buy/lease a Boxster 718 gts 4.0.
Nice wow good
Really not a fan of the Strips or the wheels or the red interior. Yet somehow the stone guard I really dig lol
3:41 where the heck do you live?? That is so nice
The weight penalty isn't really as big as it would first appear over the coupe. If you option the glass pano roof in the coupe the actual weight penalty is then only 20kg. Pretty sure that's correct.. you'll tell me if I'm wrong. If the 991.2 is anything to go by, you'll hear far more of that engine noise with the roof up than in the coupe. (I had the coupe and my father has the cab. and his felt a lot more raw as a result). Great to see your Porsche reviews again! All the best!
Even the steel sunroof is really surprisingly heavy. I always find it amusing how reviewers claim they can feel the extra weight of the cabriolet yet make no mention about the weight of the sunroof in the coupe they tested. It's all in the mind!
The 992 glass sunroof's weight is 30 lbs higher than slick top. Steel is less, both almost nothing. So Cab adds 124 lbs overall vs glass sunroof coupe. I can live with less than 4% more weight to get the open top experience.
Be good to know Nick how you think the Cabriolet compares to the Targa in the 992? Having just received my 992 Targa 4 (in lovely blue tint Dolomite Silver!).
6:44 Take it back out on the highway and demonstrate.
this is just a base model… I believe that would require a Turbo S
Nick -- who operates the drone for those overhead shots while you're driving? They're perfectly done.
The 992 parts were just a GoPro on a long stick from behind. The drone shots of the 993 are auto follow feature that DJI has
@@NickMurray For those of us not in the know, what is a DJI? Sounds wonderful. We want to have that when we're on our boat on LI Sound, would that work or would they go splash like the recently filmed OFOs?
How did the NSA share their drone footage with you?
Quick question Nick. I got a budget of 40-50k. What car should I buy? I prefer new to used ones. No restrictions on the number of doors either. Just want a fun sporty car.
I had one, but had to sell it after just 6 months, because i quickly get a painfull stiff neck after driving it - no cabriolets for me.
Want a better Porsche cab...the Boxster S, better styling, meant to be a roadster and better handling and cheaper. Compare the 2 profiles...the Boxster is a better design by far.
Ok, so white car, bad, check. Cabriolet, bad, check. Wait... Rut row...
Well at least you don't have more than one...wait...
Nice review. IMO a 991.1 cab beats the 992 in the fun (sound) department, plus it has the same level of magnesium roof panel supported sound proofing. Targas are just inherently flawed from an aerodynamics perspective.
Perfect way to order a cab. You've already sacrificed maximum performance, so might as well get the manual.
