Mate I love your commentary but this video is almost like an exercise in how not to use a camera (pointing at the sun for the interior shots) , cmon Ben you can do better 😂
438 superfluous pounds in cosmetic options, 194 questionable pounds in the GT steering wheel that that isn't better quality or smaller like on previous models and it also covers the side screens. That comes to a total of 632 pounds you could have saved. :)
'...high speed through corners...'????? On the public highway? How many people (idiots) buy this car to race(?) on the open road? I've always favoured the base 911 as i think it's a work of art and i'd drive it like a cruiser and enjoy the thrill of owning such a fabulous motor...and i wouldn't be speeding anywhere.
If you are not going to drive in a spirited manner I would advise you to go for something like a range rover or a series 4 bmw. Porsches are made for performance and will feel sort of uncomfortable when driven at low/medium speeds. I recently drove a cayman and it was really hard to keep the speed below 120km/h. The car just keeps asking for more !! If you are not careful, you could reach over 200km/h without even noticing. You could buy it just because it looks cool, a lot of people buy jeep wranglers and never take them off-road. But it's not the idea...
Also to clasify someone as an "idiot" because they like to drive fast just shows a lack of character. Anybody could call you an idiot for buying a 100k two-seater to drive it like a granny...
@@alejandromaclean3666 Hi Alejandro, thanks for your reply. I reckon you must be one of the idiots i was referring to. Would you drive at 200km/h on the public highway? I like to drive fast too, just not on the open road where i exercise care and respect for other road users and pedestrians alike. How would you feel if I drove my car fast on the road, lost control and ploughed into your family killing them all? I guess it's a matter of maturity. PS My character is just fine, thanks. 🏎🏍
@@peem1244 well yes... driving fast has nothing to do with driving reckless... Germany has fewer car accidents than countries with a speed limit, as you said, it is a matter of maturity and who is behind the wheel. If you crashed into my family and killed them while speeding, it would not be because you were speeding but because you chose the wrong time and place to speed. If you see an empty open road that you are familiar with in front of you, I don't see a reason not to enjoy the capabilities of your car, specially if it's a Porsche. It comes down to the driver's judgement and ability. Would you not agree ? And if not, what would you say about german drivers ? Are they all idiots for driving at speeds well over the limit in other countries ? I really am curious.
The reason why people watch these videos, based on your title is for a comparison to answer: IS THE BASE good enough? Stop wasting valuable time with things anyone can look up on the website. Focus on the point.
Thanks, not many reviews of the standard car. It is perfect.
Fantastic!! love great cars with basic config.
Top marks for enthusiasm... bit thin on precisely what you do and don't get which is par for the course. Great car.
So tempted to pull the trigger on one of these …
Great to see a review of all the 992 you’ll ever need.
Well done. Very authetic and sympathic report.
i feel like the 19 inch rims, don't look as nice as the 20/21 combo but it saves money and improves the ride quality. and that more important
I disagree. The 20/21 wheels are too big. And the standard 19/20 Carrera rims look much better than the standard 20/21 Carrera S rims.
I would have stepped up to the larger wheels. Wheels make any car!
Something nice about pure sports car 😁
go easy on the camera motion man otherwise a decent review
Thanks, I’ve bought some better kit now so quality is on the up!
Its the Same car as Shown at Harrys Garage ! Trading this as Second Hand will be a nightmare.

Thank you, it's my first day, learning all the time!
@@benbarrycars7628 vcool Ben your talking style is spot on and exactly what we want to hear, good luck, you got a new subscriber here mate 👍
Great review. As I understand standard Carrera doesnt have PTV+, do you think you can tell you miss it?
You don’t need it
Please make more videos with your 911!
I will. I have another planned soon ish. Thanks for interest
Sir, kindly get a stabilizer / gimbal so your video wont be shaky like this one..
I have now! Thanks for your patience sir

Fish eye lens bouncing about all over the place actually made me feel sea sick 😂
380+ bhp not enough! C’mon plenty enough for UK roads. Less is more.
this is owner car?
Porsche Uk press car

Thanks for the kind feedback. I will learn from this experience and stop wasting time
missed the entire point this video
Please get a better camera and watch where you are pointing the thing, no one wants to be looking straight into the Sun.
This was an early attempt, got better kit now/more experience, hopefully uploading more this year
