- I've never liked the 911. I've never understood the hype behind the car. Jayemm has decided its time to try and change that.

With that t-shirt bud, I ain't taking style tips from you!
It's a gift from Jayemm, who wears the most tasteless shirts of them all.
@@woodlandowl Fair enough. That car is acceptable, to say the least
@@John_Wood_ it's all round good, just not amazing.
@@woodlandowl doesn’t mean you have to wear it though 😂🙈 but we’ll done on the video mate you done a great job, have you got your own channel?
I like 911s and I also like watching Lawrie, so this is a good mix
Thank you!
Yep, despite his loud T shirt and slightly 'Am Dram' delivery I really enjoyed that!👍😁
@@douglasb.5601 You have excellent taste
The more hate these cars get the cheaper for me to buy my next one... keep it up!
As a teen I got to ride in my uncles early 70's 911 SC Targa. I fell in love with Porsche as a result. Thanks.
See, that is a cool car
The sound was intoxicating and the speed adrenaline pumping, even though we didn't go much faster than 80. It was the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
@@bicyclist2 That sounds totally my kind of car!
My Uncles 911 looked just like this one: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1972-Porsche-911-2-4-E-Targa-Genuine-MFi-rare-oil-flap-model-factory-original/223229558990?hash=item33f984c0ce:g:PGoAAOSwpZlbm3B~:rk:45:pf:0
@@bicyclist2 That is completely and utterly awesome. That is a car I'd like.
You can absolutely not like a car, and still respect the machine. For me, the McLaren lineup (other than the Senna) is the most bland and boring selection of Supercars ever made.
Technical marvels, super fast... but boring.
That's basically it. It's really quite good. But just leaves me cold
Lawrie Rose With the 996, it helps when you splash a bit of flair on the. Such as this one in the link...

@@RyanDeClue Oh yeah, that's a bit more exciting. Still not the right colour though :p
F1, Senna and speed tail are the only McLarens that I really like.
I completely agree and I know Mr. Clarkson would agree too.
This is a really nice video! Very cool car, the base 2 is all I would need.
Thank you! It's a good car, I don't think it has the cool factor personally
I've wanted one since I was about 6 years old, and I think that's part of it. A 993 etc is out of my range now, and I'd be very happy with a 996 c4S. I just have a desire for one. It also can be a daily and it can be a fun car. It's one of the only cars that can really be dual purpose. I see a black 997 C2s and that scene from Waynes World enters my head. "It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine."
this was unexpected excellence!!! Your friend doing a good job while you away Jay!
Maybe you should check out our channel then!
You can’t really go wrong with a Porsche. After you drive one your hooked. Cool vid.
I'd certainly take it out again. I enjoyed having it!
I could do with a friend like JayEmm, I'd be a little more enthusiastic about the proposition of driving a 911 for a week :D
Lawrie checking his makeup in the vanity mirror. Porsche ownership begins.
I agree with your assessment, it doesn’t have enough rust for you. You might try a first generation 924, painted or wrapped.
Now we're talking. I do like older 911s with the bug eye look alot more. I think this one is just in too golder condition for me to enjoy it fully. Nothing fell off on the drive!
Lawrie Rose Pop-up headlights on the 924 though, it’s slightly rattley which matters to you, and the front engine means you can fix it without intervenors.
My favourite is the 944, but 924 is part of the family!
Would love a 928, but I think that is only for masochists with the ageing electronic gadgets.
That said, the 4S's all wheel drive is the thing that would make me forget my dislike of 911s.
I used to lust after a 924 Turbo..but I bet the 924 S would be a much more reliable long term bet.
@@acchaladka I do like the 924. It's on my wish list! Sounds much more up my street too 😂
Very good production and Laurie is a great presenter
Thank you!
More stuff to come!
After about 7,000 miles in my 996 I love it. Mine happens to have been repainted by a previous owner in Gulf Blue, lowered a bit and has a much better suspension. That one is kind of old looking with those wheels and stance. And urban camo is a weird color choice.
It's a good car for just covering miles in. Me and Jayemm took it down to Brands Hatch the other weekend for the truck racing, and it was a really pleasant way to travel.
I certainly think that a nicer colour would make me more excited, and maybe the lowered suspension would help too.
It's certainly not a bad car by any stretch.
Lawrie, I get where you are coming from and when I first got my 996 C4S some of your comments matched mine. however, 9 years later I wouldn't swap it for anything else.
Jayemm did say they grow on you. Maybe I just needed more time
Some people don't like them. I love 911's and find them to be an amazing sport car that can be daily driven. They provide an amazing driving experience IMHO. I love turning the key everytime I go somewhere. Drive what you love and can afford since you only live once.
It's a very good car - I won't try and argue that it's not, and very livable and comfortable too. An exceedingly good mix. It's just missing something for me...
Yeah..two turbos. Manual if it's a fair weather car, tiptronic if it's a daily.
Being a single dad with a 3 y/o I daily my Turbo. Great in all weather conditions, fold down rear seats fits tons of groceries, and back sit fits a car seat. Also leaving room for a passenger in the passenger seat. Not mileage sensitive like Italian vehicles, and decent fuel mileage.
Interesting twist in your experience. Thank you
Thank you!
I think a proper exhaust would help it come alive significantly at low speeds, but for a car you have to learn to always be in a lower gear than usual and be high in the revs, it’s can genuinely take a while to click. The m3 is somewhat similar in that regard
I think that's what's good about it though, fact that it's so quite unless you ask it to do something.
Well that was NICE.
It's basically that. A nice car, not an amazing car.
Actually the wing is the only thing I don’t like about it
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I HAVE A 997 AND I LOVE IT! JUST DID A OWNERSHIP REVIEW ON MY CHANNEL!
Well done, Laurie, very well done!😀
Thank you!
Lawrie, I can't wait to meet you next year!!!
You have no idea how overly excited I am!
really enjoyed this well done
Thank you!
‘Nice’ count = 3659. Ask J for a thesaurus for your birthday.
Great review and im with you pal MR2 all the way. 👍
Thank you! Mr2 has a soul. Its an evil soul because it wants to kill you.
The porsche lacks a soul. Evil or otherwise.
@Blackporsche roadster It's a boring dream then 😂 There are certainly some cool 911's - this is not one of them.
Looks like a short shifter, any idea which one is installed?
Funny, because for me the 911 is the only car that has soul and spirit. I got a 996.1 C2. It feels to me like it is communicating with me. I always say she pays back the love better than any other woman Ive known. My friend has got a 996.2 GT3 and he says: ”Life just looks better from behind the steering wheel of a 911.” And he is bang on it.
It would be boring if we where all the same! I can truly understand loving the car - and I understand why you do. It's still just not for me.
Meh, if you don’t like the Porsche, you don’t. I’ve loved them since a young boy and can’t fathom the same ownership experience with a Ferrari or other exotic. And, the cost of those is much higher. A Porsche is a daily driver. There’s nothing like precisely steering a 911 through a series of curves or taking one deep into a corner and whipping it around as you power out of it. Thanks Lawrence. Hope you got to work on time. Excellent video, even three years on. Always appreciate the content on JayEmm’s channel.
Are you related to the guy that does the Hub Nut videos on You Tube? You look so similar, great videos both of you!
I'm not - but thank you I'm taking that as a compliment!
Your t-shirt tells me you are friends with James.
To say something is NICE that many times oh dear 😂😂
It didn't really warrant anything more.
It's not stunning, yet it's not bad at all. Just.... Well nice 😂
I wonder if you would prefer a Carrera 2? Lighter, more risky, nicer in corners...
I might well do!
I agree mostly with your "Really Nice" comments. Someone has to take a click counter to how many times you said "really nice" ! haha.. I am a Porsche owner 20 years now. Love them to say the least, but after 20 years of being a Porsche enthusiast I also have an interesting way of looking at them. Although you were not totally enamored in your "week" long experience at the end I can understand that there are other sports cars or super cars that will excite you more in the beginning of your ownership, but give them time and all the different scenarios, only time and experience can give you, and I think this will open your eyes as to why the Porsche brand get's better with time. Think of it this way.... what type of woman would you want to date vs marry:
-Italian and other exotic sports cars = Super Model looks, extremely beautiful, exciting, loud, in your face, attracts lots of attention, fast, crazy in bed, very expensive.... Then with time you discover that they are also very temper mental, inconsistent and need lots of attention, needs lots of money to stay happy, complains and does not like being driven hard for too long, becomes only a weekend driver, sex is not very often, fragile when used often and high maintenance all around so she spends lots of time sitting around in the garage... oh yeah, did I mention very expensive.
-Now a Porsche = Beautiful Girl next door, always willing to do fun rides, consistent, reliable, trustworthy, exciting and fun in bed, always up for a challenge, loves being driven hard daily, never complains, and enjoys taking care of you when ever asked to do so. So although this particular Porsche may not be as exciting initially as some other cars, I know over the long haul of sports car ownership which I would chose. As I get older... reliable and consistent will win out over hot and high maintenance every time. I would much rather have the girl next door that is super fun and reliable, then the extremely temper mental hot, high maintenance super model that excites in short bursts. Just my humble opinion. Really enjoyed your review. Especially the "really nice" moments. ;^)
I think you're spot on the money.
It's the biggest problem with the car is it didn't take my breath away, but I certainly can't flaw it.
It is a very good car.
Frist time I've seen this channel. You have the quality to go to the top! I honestly thought you were the guy from Wheeler Dealer! J EMM I mean.
The comparison has been made before! I wonder if there is something Jayemm isn't telling us.
I love the cup holder, it's one of the best I've ever seen
I really did like that. It's so cool
You need a Saab 9-5 then.
Praise be, for Clovis, the world's foremost raconteur, has returned to dazzle and amuse us with his razor sharp insight and coruscating wit‼️ Just a couple of comments, Clovis, on your latest masterpiece.
You may not have hung a 911 on your wall, but have you ever wrapped one around a tree⁉️🤕🤕🤕
Cletus avoids your company because you outshine him in every respect🤩🤩🤩
You're not excited⁉️ So that must be a pistol in your pocket.🤔🤔🤔
So, yet again, Clovis, you have provided a superlative analysis of a fellow icon of the motoring world. All in all, a really nice video, of as really nice car, brought to us by a really nice bloke.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Why thank you. To answer your questions:
No. Not yet. There is still time for such a thing to happen, but I believe that does put a strain on friendships!
Sadly this car doesn't excite me - but keep an eye out when I really like a car. 😉
@@woodlandowl It's hard (?) to get excited about cars when you can drive trains and fire engines.
@@MrKeyboardCommando I see what you did there.
It doesn't command the road like an 80's English fire engine does!
@@woodlandowl And it doesn't have an extension ladder and high pressure hose‼️
@@MrKeyboardCommando I think these are key points. All car manufacturers should take note.
Haha .. you're a bad man. But real love can't hide :)
Watching this video I think I've figured out why I love Porsches so much, and I think it's partly why Lawrie can't quite come to love them. They are tame and obedient: and that must feel boring. But to me, that means its all up to me. If I just want to get somewhere, it will take me there. If I want to have fun, it will entertain me with the noise and handling. They are a great partner for me, and I appreciate that you let me notice that simple fact.
I can fully understand that love though. It is a good car indeed.
As I said I'm almost annoyed that I don't like it more!
Lawrie Rose No hard feelings! Loved the review! :)
@@nano_sweet Thank you!
Lawrie is hilarious!
Thank you!
I think lawrie likes watching Chris Harris...he's certainly got that style.of presenting about him. Which is great because Chris Harrisis awesome.
It wasn't intentional!
But I'll take that as high praise!
Chris Harris is overrated.. Ever since I saw his needlessly hateful MX5 review, quite contrary to popular belief I believe for contrarian sake (clickbait), I lost a lot of respect for him.. But even so, I can see what people like about him, he's a likable, well spoken guy that can drive pretty well. And he did do that awful clickbait review back when he was still clawing his way up, so I guess it's sort of excusable.
It's a seventeen minute video and has two dislikes two minutes after being uploaded. Are the Porsche fanboys upset with the title?
Probably. Or it may be the work of the Phantom Disliker.
SimianWonder I’m a Porsche fanboy and I fully endorse the title. (I’d kill to own a Cayman but I have a 944.)
Just pronounce the Porsche family name properly and we’re good.
Beating my own personal record for speed of dislikes 😂
@@acchaladka honestly I'm all over the 944. That's cool.
I'd stay with that!
Lawrie Rose Why can’t a good little boy like me have both? I feel dirty and lustful but still. And yes, the 944 is very very good but there’s a leap in comfort with even a gen one Cayman.
Would you take this over the 07 Aston v8 vantage??
I'd rather have a go in a vantage
love it :)
I'm pleased you did :)
Is it just me or does this guy speak in exactly the same fashion as JayEmm
The only thing wrong for me, as an old bloke, with a car like this 911, is that I would look a tit owning it. You know, a bit like being old and having a young girlfriend. If a friend were to lend me either their 911 (or their young girlfriend) for a week, I would bite their hand off until I was chewing their wrist.
Really Nice 😉
Thank you!
@@woodlandowl
I can't help thinking an ancient 1970's air cooled 911 in orange or fluorescent green would be more your scene...
@@robinforrest7680 Orange. Definitely. That's proper proper cool
If you say "nice" again I will scream
Can you please find a stock e92 m3 and compare it to the 911, and a boxster if possible , would greatly appreciate your thoughts on each and a comparison
I'll try
JayEmm on Cars who are you? I was talking to Lawrie, are you his angel investor?
Fee No I'm the man whose name is above the door lol.
JayEmm on Cars Ferdinand Porsche ?!? Wow I knew you were still alive, you’re on an island with hitler somewhere i imagine? Please go back to work, we need Carerra GT’s en masse
I like it here in Argentina
Put the 3l V6 from a Camry into your MR2 for a few grand from Woodsport and you'll definitely want to take that instead, especially if you have the NA MR2. Even if just for the noise ;p
I did suggest this to him
@@JayEmmOnCars You need to try and source one, borrow one, from someone. Perhaps a member on an MR2 owners club forum, just so you can demonstrate the point...and while you're on, it'd probably make for an interesting video.
What's a friend if he doesn't convince you to recklessly spend money on silly toys that you don't need, but definitely, definitely want :p
@@nicwilson89 he's very good at convicting me to spend money.
I have played with the idea, but in the intrest of keeping the new Mr2 out of trees, it's a no at the moment
@@woodlandowl Haha, yyeaaa can't argue with that reasoning :D
@@nicwilson89 the two is going to remain as a nice cruising car for now.
It really is a driver's car. I never wanted a Porsche until I got in one, but I'm not 100% sold on it. I never liked it because it seems like any big city firm trainee getting a bonus buys one. Not that special even though the car is good. Another great video Lawrie 👍🏼 keep it up!
Thank you! I'm completely with you. It's a far too common car to have any level of special about it. Does drive lovely though!
I bought my 911, because it ticks all the boxes I need. It is a consummate sports car, it has space enough for me, my wheelchair and belongings for a long trip. It can easily cover huge distances (I have two 1000mile journeys to complete every month). Although only 10 months into my ownership, I would agree with you, Lawrie, in that it is a very good car. As for not liking it because it is “too precise”, I don’t understand. Yes, it is just a car...but I love this one more than the Mk1 MR2 that I thought would never be beaten. No, mine does not have a permanent rear wing or sports exhaust either, because I don’t worry about what others might think of me. I own and use it for my own pleasure.
I've still got an urge to buy a 911. I bought a Porsche Macan S, it was a lovely thing to be in..but a drivers car it was not. I was getting in my wifes Audi S1 everytime she took her eye off it..so I traded the Macan in for an S3..much more my cup of tea. I was just thinking that performance-wise it's probably similar to Jay's 911 with over 300bhp and 4 wheel drive. The 7 speed dual clutch box isn't as rewarding as the 6 speed manual in my wifes S1..but it's a very good all rounder. I guess it's as close as I can get to a 4 seater (rather than 2+2) 911 at the moment. Could you imagine if Porsche got hold of the Golf R/S3 bits and did a Porsche version? It might take my eye/heart off the 911!😁
@@guydavies3035 I meant it's a bit too clinical. I didn't get any real joy for driving it.
However, I do agree with you, its a very livable performance machine.
It's an exceptionally good mix.
That's why you should have a car though - because you like it!
@@douglasb.5601 Now that would be something wouldn't it!
What if it was a different colour?
Would that have made a difference?
I have a 2007 Cayman S and that is very analogue and I certainly love it and feel that it always looks after me when I'm out in it, perhaps that's because it is rather special ❤️
I certainly don't think the colour helps.
It's not a bad car at all, I just didn't fall for it.
@@woodlandowl I do understand, there's certain cars that don't really do it for me but my biggest bugbear is the way cars are going now, all that electronic stuff, all the nonsense, I do understand the safety aspect but it's getting ridiculous, and they keep growing in size! 😕
I'll stay with my fairly basic Cayman S and just enjoy the drive
@@johns5493 I'm completely with you there. I don't think I'd enjoy the successor to the 996 - this still felt relatively analogue to me.
I went out in my friends new Merc, and all the gizmos are breathtaking, but with my luck with vehicles I can't help thinking, what happens with things go wrong - how on earth do you fix this?
@@woodlandowl I'm guessing we shall see over the next 10-15yrs if these newer cars go the distance or become too expensive to keep on the roads
I know of someone who sold a 10yr old Merc S500 for £1000 because the main engine computer broke, the car cost £70k new 😳
The tech is amazing but where does it end and at what cost?
Thinking about it, you don't really see many cars over 10yrs old now anyway? Surely these cars should still be around?
Where have they all gone! 🤔
@@johns5493 I was having this discussion the other day with Jayemm.
When did you last see a first gen Ford Focus. They where everywhere.
With scrappage schemes, a huge rise of getting cars on lease finance rather than actually owning then, and an increase in the complexity, there just aren't old cars around anymore.
I wonder if we'll miss the cars we lived with now when they're gone?
Lawrie . . . Do you have a background in acting? Were you in the "Young ones?"
It gets better over on LMM!
For a car that you "don't love" it sure seemed as though you enjoyed it.
So about three years ago, I wanted a sports car. But I have two small children and I wanted something that could fit 4 (they are small). The 911 was really my only option. Thing is, the first one I drove all I could think was "meh". Similar to you, the more I drove one, the more I liked it. The one that put it over the top was a 996 C4S on a nice long test drive. While I ultimately ended up with a 997 C2, I have no regrets - taken a few long road trips with the family (and a few short without the family). Periodically I think about selling it but then I go for a drive. I suspect you'll miss it.
Oh I really did. It's a good all round car, totally liveable with, and drives really well. Everyone tells me now that they grow on you. I just wasn't blown away by it, it's good, but it's just missing that soul - that spark for me.
However many months on, don't miss it. I've got my tractor back on the road, and that's given me far more joy!
50 years of 911 says it all in my opinion
I'm in the same boat. They are very very good cars and perhaps the easiest to live with high performance car there is. But they just don't butter my muffin.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Pretty explicit comment there 😏
I've never liked 911's either. I think the biggest issue for me is how common they are, I used to see them all the time, meaning they stop being interesting or special. If you are spending that much on a car, theres just more interesting options out there, yes, I'm sure it does drive great and is reliable etc etc, but as you say in the video, it just isn't exciting, and for that money it should be. I think a 996 turbo in silver with tinted windows looks good, and the 996 shape isn't bad, but it's a shape you have to really work at appreciating, whereas there's plenty else out there which just look beautiful or cool without having to study it.
Yeah I totally agree with you. It's not bad, it's just not special - and you can get proper special for the money.
Bet he doesn’t like peas either 😂
It's important to eat your greens 😂
I never loved my c4s either ..... but my modified C2 is a different story 🤘🏻
What have you done to it?
Lawrie Rose, well for a start it’s 2 wheel drive with an LSD..... lowered, anti roll bars, exhaust, larger throttle body, remap. It’s blue has a spoiler and because of the way it sits, it’s just got more funk.... I’m a 80’s BMW man, the mods make the car more focused, slightly obnoxious but way more loveable, I love my old BMW’s but I am obsessed with the Porsche 🙈
@@roadmantop3769 That sounds pretty cool. It's certainly got my attention

@@JayEmmOnCars thanks Jay!
Yeah, I want to do a trip in this car, I feel like I’m tripping, I’m totally tripping in this car, this car makes me want to trip.........
Some nicer wheels would help that out alot. They are very boring.
I love a 106. My MiL had a 1.1 (iirc), and it was a ton of fun. Far more than it should of been. 30 down the lanes felt like 90.
My daughter has a mk1 ka 1.3z that is also go cart fun. I'd often take her car if nipping into town over my old gtc. untill she got a black box in it! Now I'm banned from it.
Love the 106. I'd genuinely rather have a blast around that than in the porsche.
The 911 needs a different colour and better wheels would certainly help.
I don't blame you mate, i've never really liked 911's either... the new ones look alright... ive drove 2 and just never felt as excited or that thrill factor... its just good, it's not great imo. kinda like in the same way married sex is decent reliable sex.
That is a wonderful analogy!
Pretty true though - it's pretty good, but just no wow.
@@Niallboy1 she told me not to tell
Take my advice & do the same with a 996 Turbo... preferably one with a free flow exhaust and tune. 👍
I'd be really up for trying the turbo version. It might have just that something this was missing.
I wouldn't trust him in a turbo ;)
@@woodlandowl There's no might about it... it 100% does. I've driven many generations of 911's and Turbo's... & imho the 996tt is the best of the bunch as a driver's car. I honestly hope you get the opportunity one of these days.
@@normsallitt2753 cheers! Me too. It would be interesting to see the difference
Soooo,....pretty NICE eh? For a daily driver I do prefer a water-cooled, front engined, luxury FWD or AWD estate/SUV. However, if I could afford a play toy....a 911/930 would be too much fun
Yeah, because basically that's what the car is. Perfectly acceptable, just not special.
I'd be all over a 930, that appeals to me way more.
i love Lawrie
I love you too!
Did you both go to the same school of broadcasting 🤔🤔
Lawries channel is interesting too 🙂
Did you borrow that t-shirt too?! 😉
Funnily enough it was a gift from the king of questionable shirts himself
Lawrie Rose 😂🤣
I don’t like 911s either, pls can i borrow it as well (pls)
I didn't ask, it was thrust upon me. Not complaining though!
I like the color! That's what I'd pick, that or black. He needs a paint job to match the his shirt so people will notice him.
I just figured out the diffence between a porsche owner and the rest of us. They check their make up and hair in the morror, the rest of us use it to check our teeth after a big mac.
Jokes aside I'd like a caymen s. Great punch for the prise. So un porsche like. Well unless you start ticking the options. I'd take mine stock, last time I looked they was about £43k new. Which seems a bargain. And I think they are the best looking out their offerings.
I think it's very important to be able to check my hair! 😂
@@woodlandowl you have far more than me that's for sure. I have about 2 years worth of fringe left. 😥😂

Great video. Porsche
Thank you!
Comparing it to a mg zs and 106? Unusual.
They're just cars I really enjoy driving. 911 just lacks something.
I bet the cars done it’s own vid about your t shirt and jacket 😁
I'd love to see that 😁😁😁
The 911 certainly lacks the road presence a Peugeot 106 or non turbo mr2 presents of course
I'm so glad you agree!
That said, I'll certainly pay attention to a fellow 106 - I'm trying to set up a wave for when you see one.
I'm always excited to see a two. They're just awesome.

maybe its just that hatch back look of the 911 that bothers me a lil bit....same with the caymen just to hatchy.....the boxter has a totally different desighn

I can fully believe that.
It's not a bad car, and ticks alot of boxes. Can't really find anything wrong with it.
Just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.
Had a few 944 s2 3 litres and very impressed but 911 shape never did anything for me.

if your friend does not like 911s then you totally need to let him go!
It's just not a very exciting car. Lots of other good cars out there I like, and plenty of bad cars too.
This certainly isn't bad, but lacks something for me.
beaut video guys, this is A++ content. well done.
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it.
1:00 and 13:06 says it's not noticeably dirty after the week of driving..
Lawrie there’s a Mr. Cars, On replying to commenters, careful about that, you don’t want to let people like that start running the comment section, next thing you know The guys with tattoos saying
“simplify and Add Lightness” -Tracy Chapman c.1868
Will be all over every video demanding you find a Lotus fire truck
A fire truck that handled like a lotus. That would be stunning.
Almost a shame they didn't try it.
Though I bet you could convert a Europa...
Don't worry Lawrence, someday you'll grow up and be able to admit that you appreciate proper cars. ;)
He's never growing up.
Very nice video Lawrence. You sound a bit like Chris Harris. Now you understand the allure of Porsche. They’re understated beautifully designed and engineered cars without being shouty. Porsche cars possess a certain unexplainable mojo drawing you in to drive the long way home, run out for a bottle of milk or wake up early for a short canyon drive.
It may be the car bit that's the problem.
It's just not a fire engine is it!
@@soulmaster63 I do indeed now understand.
Problem is I appreciate the allure without actually wanting one. Good car. Just not for me.
We should ask Jay to fit a loud siren and a red light on the roof, then have you test it again for a week.
Extra points for a fire fighter hat...
his dad's jezza
Wait until you meet the Porsche's gov'nur at 7thou
Try a 993.
I'd like to have a go in one, I like the aesthetics more than this one anyway.
Not much of this video is of you "hating the 911". By the way... if your T-Shirt was a car what would it be????
It's not my title. Jayemm wanted it to be clickbatey.
I don't hate the car - never have.
Just never really liked it, or understood the appeal.
Now I understand the appeal, but still don't want one. Good car, just not for me.
Shirt would have to be a VW doormobile camper wouldn't it really. That could wear that kind of colours.
I get my thrills from fast bikes because I can't afford the cars I want :)
This didn't thrill at all.
I'm sure you could drive it so it could, but I think you'll get the same feeling from the bike much easier!
@@woodlandowl Keep up the good work lad
@@ryanmoloney99 Thank you! I'll try!
I wonder if he would feel much different about the next generation of the 911, the 997 looks quite a bit more modern and I really prefer it.
See I think I'd prefer the previous version, of go back a couple of generations. I like older cars to begin with.
@@woodlandowl Ok, sounds good, but also the following version is a lot better, but I guess some people just don't like the 911 that much anyway. I think it's a very good car but I get your point about it not feeling special.
@@kc4ril I'm in agreement that it is a very good car.
It's just not for me - but then it would be boring if we all like the same things!
@@woodlandowl Yeah, i have a Cayman S and it's also a very good car but it actually doesn't feel very special either. And people who see it are like, yeah it's nice, but no one is ever like wow. One girl even told me, oh it's cute, but I don't think that's quite what people hope to hear about their porsche.
@@kc4ril I think you've hit the nail on the head.
I think that is part of the appeal though, all the power, the driving experience, all wrapped up in a somewhat unassuming shell
How many times did he say "Nice" in this video.
You've stumbled upon our secret drinking game.
@@JayEmmOnCars somebody must be permanently pissed then
It's also the overall problem. It's just 'nice'
Not stunning, not bad, just... 'nice'.
''nice'' nice and nice
He's getting a thesaurus for Christmas
@@JayEmmOnCars haha brilliant video though!!
@@samwoody6327 biggest problem with the car.
It's just 'nice'.
Not brilliant. Not bad. Just... Nice
Undoubtably........undoubtedly
Boxsters are mid engine cars not just convertibles
They do also have quite the following
@@woodlandowl They feel a lot more...a lot more like it's an event when you go for a drive in one. Like it wants to be driven hard, like it's kinda special when you get in it. At least, a lot more than the 911s do. My dad decided that with his, he was going to drive to Belgium and hand over some money to an ex-engineer who used to design the exhaust systems for Porsche, stay over at his house, and have him make a very naughty sounding exhaust for it (that he says they should have had from factory, but they weren't allowed as it'd hurt the 911 sales or some such).
Just the noise the thing makes gets me excited now when he comes to visit. It's as far from 'just a car' as you'd expect from a 'premium' sports car.
@@nicwilson89 I certainly wouldn't say no to having a go in one!
I've heard similar things of manufacturers deliberately making a car lesser so it doesn't encroach on the flagship vehicle
My Friend Doesn't Like complaining - So I stop watching the video
But thanks for commenting!
Nah! Drive a Porsche hard on the autobahn, then you’ll get it!
I hear this car is nice.
Just nice in fact
"People say if you walk away from your car in a car park, and you take a turn back to look at it, you've bought the wrong car." What do you mean by this?
He meant to say if you *don't* turn back and look
I just missed out the 'and you' but definitely did say don't 😂
Good fun. Loved the pony tail, baggy jeans and black shoes, and he slates the 'style' of the porsche.....
Pretty much. It just doesn't do anything for me.
I know that lots of people like it, and I love lots of cars that other people don't like.
But then it'd all be boring if we liked the same things.
Car styling vs clothing is a different thing buddy, personally i think porsches look boring and bland.
@@GameCornerYT well the shirt isn't bland and boring lol
@@woodlandowl Nah it's nice i would wear it.
He is the last one to be talking about style. He should rethink his outfit.
That car is awesome, I love it. I wish he wouldn't talk so much.
The car has nothing wrong with it, but doesn't really have enough going for it to be awesome. I just didn't find it special.
@@woodlandowl in the part where you say "if you turn around after you park your car.." It sounds like you say if you turn around and look at your car then you bought the wrong car. I played it several times and it confused me b/c I've always known it as if you DON'T turn around and look at your car after you parked, then you bought the wrong car. Which one option would you say and why?
@@mikec1096 It's definitely don't.
Strange dip there in the audio.
Sorry for the confusion!
I prefer the Cayman, and the older 987.2 model.. I found even the 997S to be boring.. Despite the power.
