What did u need to fix?

These are the most under rated, the DSG box is so fun, and some mods ( dump pipe and muffler delete ) its a good fun daily car

i have spent around £2k average to maintain mine. 3.4 BS. most expensive cost for me was replacing microswitch for tipbox, replacing oil sump pan and new door sill and respray. then second most expensive costs were 4x new MPS4S, running 285 in the rear, and then £800 Top gear non valved exhausts as the original one on the car was properly corroded.

Hands down one of the best super saloons you can buy!!! Great video ❤

🍋

Ive always loved these... had the pleasure of driving one on 5 occasions in total... every time its been smile central. Im an alfa fan anyway but these are just my top car to own. I love the back to basics.

Well done ... and keep going

Keep up the great content

I'm massively proud to be one if your first subs. Onwards and upwards Joe, as Ive said to you before. Delighted to see you've done a bit of presenting coaching. The very best of health and happiness to you and your family🇮🇪

Great stuff Joe. The best of luck for 2025 and keep up the great content.

Another great year Joe! It’s been a fun ride from year one. Being US based, I really enjoy seeing your adventures in the UK and Europe. We need to get you over here for Porsche’s Werks Reunion Amelia Island Florida and the Amelia Islands Concours. All you’ll need is the plane ticket. 👍 Looking forward to 2025.

Huge smile on my face Joe, I have watched you grow this channel from day one, and yes my friend the production quality is very evident now……a massive well done to you for this great channel and the thoroughly enjoyable content……oh and a happy new year to you…..cant wait for 2025 and more content

I'm no filming expert, but your one to one camera presentations and editing are spot on. 👍

Great stuff Joe, always enjoy the 987 content 👍🏻

Great work, Joe... Always appreciate your genuine, earnest, and honest approach to your content!

You’ve done a fantastic job, can’t wait to see what you do next year. You can’t go wrong with a Cayman/ Boxster.

Joe if you ever want to drive my Evora just let me know...👍🇬🇧

I own the same car as yours but live in Dubai. Pretty sure I have some version of bore score but have done nothing about it (except keep oil topped up) and have owned the car for 5 years. Liability insurance cost me 200usd a year. Fuel around 250-300usd a year. Service, parts and labour - around 2,500usd a year on average. For a grand total of 3000usd a year. We don’t pay road tax here. I think that’s a relative bargain compared to your cost of living in the UK. One thing I find here is the weather and roads are conducive to longevity. Cars don’t rust or wear as quickly as they would in the UK.

What a waste of time that video was👎

feel sad for you my friend....i might think your mechanic might be it.

if your gear box is not giving you problems DONT BE CHANGING ANYTHING no oil no filter which by the way is intergraded into the transmission oil pan. oh btw... bore scoring is cause cheap oil... use motul 5 40

Have a 2012 987.2 this this is built like a tank. I have not fixed a thing in 11 years just use good oil. i use Motul 8100 MAX only! no mobil1 no shell no liquid molly JUST MOTUL .

All i hope is 987.2009 987.2 doesn't have bore problems

Piece of crap, Maurice will be turning in his grave, as will every past farmer, soldier, marine or workmen who knows what these brilliant vehicles were actually designed for, spending £50k on a trick Defender does NOT make you cool, it makes you a fool !

Brah, you're super cute and great vids Although, all guys watching are thinking wash the car before shooting your videos, and yes the PCCM+ is totally worth it. It allows for adjustments options on your Porsche. Sub'd.

Love it great video I’m going to check mine in the morning !!!

aliexpress in a porsche I wouldnt even put one in a skoda

Sorry, Joe, I disagree with almost every point you make 🙂 1. Bore-score - apart from YTubers, I don't know anyone IRL who has had a bore-score issue. I've only had my 987 S for 15 months but I'm a member of several FB groups, meet up with loads of owners weekly - nada. Just read the comments on this video - I scrolled through a few pages, not a single owner has had it (just you and JayEm). 2. I changed my head unit in the first week of ownership, just had an after-market exhaust fitted - no-one bats an eyelid. Stripes, spoilers, skirts - I've seen loads of mods. Some say they prefer to keep their car original but no-one is immature/anal enough to get worked up over it. 3. Stuck with a Porsche? They are good but I know loads of people who have sold their Porsche and bought something else. Yes, Porsche are great but many people (like me) may get bored and want something very different (I really want a Maserati GranTurismo, for example). I think you are spending too much time talking to the Porsche Owners Club and Porsche dealers - get out into the real world with normal people.

Run 5w 40 on your next service 👍🏻

Love the video. Man math is on point - just remove the biggest expense!

Having owned a 147 GTA and a 156 GTA, it took nearly 10 years for me to get back into an Alfa Stelvio QV after moving to the US. Just like the GTA 3.2 Busso, the engine is what gives these cars so much but the difference is the handling on these Quads is amazing. Def an event every time you drive. Love it.

Color options look like UIS8581A-2-32 or UIS8141E-2-32 not sure which one is the right one. Edit: also does it have backup camera compatibility?

Really cool. Obviously love what they do and do it well.

Why did he make such a song and dance about it being a four seater?!? It’s only for kids and is really designed to get by the purchasing committee (the wife) . It’ll do the school run if you really have to…this is not new news?!?! 🤡 this guy is super annoying 😅

Why do we need to look at this guys white legs?

De todas las berlinas del segmento, me quedo con este Alfa sin pestañear, pero por goleada...asi de simple. En confianza, con este Quadrifoglio me sobra el resto. Je, je, je. Que belleza, lo mires por donde lo mires, que diseño, tanto interior como exterior, arrebatador sin más !!! Me da igual si algunos de sus rivales tienen algo mas de calidad interior. Que ojo... en cualquier caso es para deleitarse con este Quadrifoglio. Es puro cuore, es puro Alfa. Ademas diseño mas fresco e imnovador que su competencia, enamora a primera vista, te roba il cuore !!! Para mi no hay color....Enhorabuena a Alfa Romeo por este pedazo de producto y todo lo que hacen. Ademas en su día hizo record segmento, en el infierno verde Aleman, se puede pedir más ??.

Yo tuve uno manual un año y ahora hace ya tres años me he hice con el automatico ZF. Para mi todo un sueño de coche, aunque la verdad manual deja mucho que desear, nada que ver con la caja ZF de 8 velocidades, el anterior con la caja manual de 6 velocidades no aprovecha el potencial del motor, las marchas son muy largar, para que os hagais una idea, en 2da 120kms, en 3era a 180kms, pero a niveles practicos el abanico de revoluciones es mas reducido. Un simple ejemplo... Para ir bien, lo llevas en 2da por una calle de pueblo convencional, sin embargo el rango de revoluciones no es el idoneo y se queda a muy pocas vueltas...En fin nada que ver con el automatico. Con la ZF las machas son mas cortas y acertadas, el abanico de revoluciones es infinitamente mas amplio, siempre encuentras par motor, eso por no hablar de la seguridad que aporta, con estas potencias y velocidades sacar las manos del volante o al estar contravolanteando. Sabia que era el coche que queria y me gustaba y tenia claro que con la caja ZF seria otro coche y asi ha sido, sencillamente es otro coche diferente, pero nada que ver, una locura. Ahora es completamente un monstruo. Y del coche el que conozca un poco ya sabe de la bestia que es, es casi un mito ya de la mejor ingenieria, no solo en el chasis, si no en todo el conjunto, esquemas de supensión, dirección....en fin...Todo un pura sangre y a la vez una berlina de muy altos vuelos, completamente versatil y familiar. Saludos

its not just bore score and IMS, its also all the plastic parts glued together, such as engine coolant control valve. Its a german car full of plastic parts. hence the reliability is not as great as if you buy honda accord

Oh no another 'Underrated' Video. Toodle pip.

Had 2 of these and a dc2 type rx if you think the dc5 is good go and try the older car, a decent one of those will blow your mind they are sooooo much more engaging than the dc5

Do you have install instructions?

You could only buy a dc2 in the uk with twin round lights where as Japan had long lights . You could never buy a dc5 in the uk , only import it . Reasonable blog but should have done his homework

I had an 02 dc5 rsx type s.... and was sadly taken away from me due to someone running a redlight... miss it so much. .. such a good car .

This Honda gen was never an icon.

I just love the analog feel of that 2006 Cayman S. Total driver's car.

the DC5 is just a smaller version of the e46 M3 haha

I find it strange that you say you’re a massive GTI fanboy and when you started talking about the MK1 Gti and you were playing the black and white video of the car it happened to be that the car isn’t even a GTI and not even a Mk1!. It is a MK2 Plan Golf! Did you notice that ? But loved the video thanks!

Heya, OG M2 has none of all that and is reliable ;)

Im only compaint is the gearshifter, i swopped it out to a hybrid racing one and it transformed the car.

Yeah those Porsches are beginning to drop like flies. It turns out they have a significant flaw in the engines. Sadly it's all on the owners to repair the issue. Over here in the States, our performance cars have V8 engines and in general, are pretty reliable.
