Her reaction was soo cute when you opened the boot lol
Awwww she’s soooooo cute! Reminds me of my girls at that age. Great video, thanks
They grow so fast don’t they 🥲 in the next 911 we reviewed she tells me she sneaked a load of extra sweets while filming this one 😂
Thank you!
Wow thanks man! Really appreciate this 🥰
nice review ım goin to take 2005 911 2 days later and ım goin to change with my porsche cayenne 2012 n ı have kid same as yours god bless all of our kids thank you so much ..
Good man! 🙌
what do you think about 2008 mercedes CL 500 ?@@dadcars
@@HanD.34 I’d love to try one 🙌
Tomorrow I will choose between one of the two, I hope I can make the right choice. (porsche carrera 977 or mercedes cl 500 w216) lets see thanks for the answer :)@@dadcars
I just bought today cl550 with cl 63 bodykit and exhaust system crazy sound and this car is for dads thanks😀👍👍
I've only ever driven a 997.1 Carrera 4s felt soo planted and loved the engine noise. They sure are tempting for the price
Another great video.. my most popular day for Sporting Bears was in a 997, had mums and dads jumping in and out of the back all day! Fabulous car. Love the Sporting Bears in the credits!
Sporting bears logo will be there for every video now 🤗 thank you for the introduction
@@dadcars Super! enjoy the IOW!
Nice car! That looked like a lot of fun. Impressed with your knowledge on the 911 ☺️
Thanks! I didn’t get too into the weeds either as it was my first 911 I thought I’d keep it simple. Won’t be the last 911 on the channel though 😉
Wonderful video, the part concerning counting had me in stitches.
Warm fuzzies.
Lol glad you it, made me laugh in the edit so kept it in 😅
Nice one Ben, this might be my favourite car that you've had on here yet, great review 👍
Thanks Jack, it was a truly special car this 👏
Thanks for the information! Nice and necessary vídeo!
Glad it was helpful :) thanks for the kind comment!
Great video. Like you I’m a dad in my 30s. Wanted a performance car and ideally to share the experience with the kids. Looked at the db9, mas gran turismo and 911 primarily. Kept coming back to the 911… it just felt much more like a sports car than the others. Bought a 997 c2s resprayed Miami blue with the engine recently rebuilt and 5k worth of other maintenance work. Not a cheaper end on but couldnt be happier with my decision. it’s a blast to drive. If you ever want to drive a standard one let me know. Thanks.
Hi Stephen that’s awesome! Drop me a message on Instagram, Facebook or email depending on where you’re based we could set something up in the new year 🤗
Love the channel. Great content, keep it coming.
Thank you my man 👏 got a really cool car coming for this weeks video 🤗 also have another 911 lined up 😉 please share if you think others will enjoy
Really enjoyed the video. I chose the 997.2 Targa 4S for its practicality with a hatchback. Would love to see you review that car.
I’d love to, in time I’d love to do loads of 911s, each generation and model feel like a different car.
Haha love the dad in the frunk reveal. Great video and information 👍
lol it’s become a thing for every video now ☺️ at least I didn’t lock myself in this one
As a former 997 2S owner I approve of the mod's, except for the exhaust, the flat 6 whail is gone and that was one of the best features of 997.
When I drive a factory standard one on the channel eventually I’ll look out for that
Awesome video 🙌 What a car 😍 ‘Can you buy that for me’ ‘Dad you need to show me how to drive cars’ haha she is so cute!!
Thanks guys appreciate it 👏 very much looking forward to doing a video all about the amazing Multimac!
You can remove the seat bases on the 997 which might create a slight increase in space for a rear facing seat and fitting seat inserts might be easier.
Good shout, im sure also you could retrofit some isofix in a oem way as it was an option on the 997.2
@@dadcars I believe on the 997.1 there is a mounting plate under the carpet on the rear seats which once accessed gives you a place to mount to.
The 911 is an excellent dad car!
I agree 👏
Love this! Used to have a 987 so same engine block, same problems, same amazing character 🙌 used to put my dog on the passenger seat, which are amazing memories really. Now saving up to buy a 997 convertible and hope my baby daughter will love it as much as yours! Great review mate, keep them videos coming!
Awesome man, the 997 is a tremendous car just buy wisely. It’ll make a brilliant dad car. My dog loved going in my Elise and it was easy to clean as had no carpets 😅 I put a pic of my dog with that car in my new video that’s up now
Your items are so fascinating 👍
Items? You mean the cars? 😅
@@dadcars your delivery, passion, and approach to the cars is just so down to earth and refreshing.
@@robertlloyd7493 my man 👏 thank you really appreciate it 🤗
As a new dad who had to sell his f-type r for a new f-pace svr, I have a 992 gts coupe and Roma on order (whatever gets a build date first in this crazy car world), would appreciate your thoughts on fitting baby seats in those - also our market requires a top tether so might be worth including that in future videos. Thanks for putting these videos together, much appreciated
I think the floor leg does the same job doesn’t it? To be fair I’ve never seen a top tether used in the UK, where are you located? I just did a 991.2 but look forward to doing a 992 and a Roma is certainly on the bucket list 👏
@@dadcars I just saw the 991, should be similar to 992 as it’s on the same chassis. Top tether is a legal requirement for us in Australia - so for the 992 for eg only the coupe has the tether, which luckily works for me as in our market only way I can get a 3 pedal 911 is a rwd gts coupe…. though with all the production delays I’m chasing time before the full hybrid auto .2 line up. Also worth noting, we have some strict laws around baby seats, so none of the factory accessory seats pass our regs, and definitely none of the slimmer styles you can buy in EU/US
@@samcas707 that’s fascinating to hear it’s so strict in Australia. I’ll look into the tether and mention it in one of my future reviews. Appreciate this info. That’ll be a awesome 992 when it arrives, you’ll have to join the DadCars Facebook group and post a picture :)
What maxi cosi seat was that you had rear facing ?
Your videos are really informative and entertaining at the same time👌🏻 I owned a base 996 cabrio for a short period of time, a long time ago. I couldn’t even imagine a babyseat fitting the space some call a rear seat 😂
Thanks 🙏 I’ve always been a fan of the 996 as it was the first one I went in, well it’s good to have some content online getting hands on with some child seats in the back of this generation 🤗
Just catching up with this…busy times.
Glad I did, what a motor and you both make a great team! I promised my daughter a number plate if she buys the car 😂
Keep it up mate, cracking stuff as always!
Thanks Jonny 🤗 another very cool car coming this week
The mechanical issues with the 997.1 have been blown completely out of proportion. From mid 2005 the IMS bearings issue was cured with a giant upgrade. As for bore scoring, there seems to be an issue on some early 997s, but you’re talking a few percent and the cost of fixing them with a complete engine rebuild is £12k, to put that into perspective that’s two clutch changes on a paddle shift Aston Vantage. So frankly the cost of ownership of a 911 over say 200,000 miles is likely to be a very low cost per mile. And that’s the rub, some of the issues with 911s arise because they are driven as god intended for hundreds of thousands of miles. Case in point is my friends 986 Boxster… the one with the exploding engine… bore scoring and an IMS… err well the engine was rebuilt at 140,000 miles and has now passed 190,000 miles. The only issue with these cars is the ones bought by people who can’t afford them and don’t do the basics of topping up the oil.
You're absolutely right. People pay way more than £12k on rebuilds of their 964s and earlier 911s and they think nothing of it, because they paid £60k for it in the first place. Yet ironically, the same potential maintenance cost is holding values of 996s and 997s back. It just doesn't make sense!
How comfortable was your daughter in the back. She looks quite close to the drivers seat but that might just be the camera angle. Apparently the cheap Halfords car seat fits perfect and is what most people use on the 996/7
It’s completely useable, always going to be a little tighter than a normal car but I’d say you can make it work up until teenage years 💯
Great video [rushes to Autotrader to see whats for sale]
Just get a Pre purchase inspection if it’s a 997.1 😅
Having driven both this gen 911 and the F80 M3 if the choice arose to choose only 1, which would you pick?
Depends on what requirements you have of the rear seats as that could rule out a 911
2 daughters that id like to take out on weekend drives. Would be a second car.@@dadcars
The next model 991 is meant to be bigger inside so better family car kind of lol
I may have a 991 coming to the channel soon 😉
@@dadcars looking forward to it
Hello, do you know the owner of this car? I’d love to contact him to see if I could buy!
Yes! It’s actually on collecting cars right now!!!
What foldable car seat is that?
Link should be in description with a promo code :)
Sweets-ninja @17m55s 😆
Bore scoring and IMS is scam!! Keep on driving nothing will happen up to 300k miles
First I guess lol (sorry, had to)
You’re actually the first to ever say first on a Dadcars video so that’s worth a 👏
@@dadcars seriously though, I am running through the very same choosing process these days. Db9, 997 cab, masér GT or the 2013 quattropporte with a v8. I find your videos so helpful 🙏
@@GLAXxan lovely to hear this! This is my hope with the channel as I could never find this content before I started the channel. I’ve got some more exciting contenders in the coming weeks already filmed and lots more in the diary 😉 hopefully there are lots of Dads like us out there who eventually find the channel 👍
Hey, you look loke Andrew Tate.. why don't you convert just like him.. Just saying.. peace..
Keep on rockin'. Wow, you need to research 'Promo sm'!
