- Another blue Porsche! This one belongs to my mate, James, though! This is a Porsche 911 991.1 C2S with the fast PDK automatic gearbox!
So, let’s do a road test review of this lovely car and talk to the owner about what he thinks about it after 13,000 miles and see if, after ten full years since it hit the road if it’s a car that still cuts it in modern traffic! Should you buy one of these and save yourself some money or go straight for a new Porsche 911 992? What does this car have in common with a GT3 that you won’t get with a 992? I will tell you!
A full car review video and owner interview for your viewing pleasure! Perhaps you are looking at a 991.1 and if that’s the case then THIS IS THE VIDEO FOR YOU!
For fun, I also let James drive my 928 and at the end, you’ll see what a driver of a fairly modern 911 thinks about a 38 year old car in the process of restoration! Culture shock!
All written, researched and edited by me. You can download all my Porsche model guides at www.jayreadyoutube.com so go and take a look there, OK?

That naturally aspirated pot on the 991.1 sounds so sweet! It truly is a great car, but I still feel the 928 is special in its own regard.
Enjoying the content Sir Jay🙂✌
Thanks Mohammed!
Porsche had the best line up back innthe day when they had the 928, 911, 944, 968, true awesomeness!
That’s so true! That was my childhood really. Fond memories!
I loved my 991.1 S. Often regret selling mine as I think it really does still feel modern but is plenty exciting and engaging. Great vid Jay.
Cheers Andy! You replaced it quite well though!
Mate, your best video yet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks again for the invite and looking forward to a road trip when the weather improves.
❤️❤️❤️
Great review Jay!
Thank you, Kurt!
Very nice 911. Interesting to hear the stock exhaust instead of the upgraded one.
I test drive one right when they came out and it was definitely A hoot!
Nice car for you Jay...
Hmm 🤔
I wondered what video I'd clicked on when you said "it's tight". Thankfully, I stuck with it and enjoyed it immensely.
Bahahahahahaha!
As mentioned this is defintely a sweet spot in the lineup. And you were not kidding about liking automatics, i noticed you never even tried manual mode with the paddles!
Haha!
I really agree re the 991.1 being a good buy. I think this model will definitely go up in the not too distant future due to it's NA engine. It's very Porsche 911!
Oh how I love a 911 with a NH plate. Right now my green 996 has a PA plate, but someday it will be NH. Great video gents!
Ha! As a Brit, the ‘live free or die’ thing is a bit over the top for me!
991.1 was a giant leap forward from the 996/7 chassis, just avoid the base model with the 3.4 liter.
Why avoid 3.4?
Too slow!@@KHdAnstaing
@@jakeringer3153 yes in a coupe, but if 3.4 in a cabrio or targa is ok?
Even the S/4S are quite slow
The 991 generation is phenomenal - my personal dream car - prefer the aesthetics/shape to the 992 as well. One day.
Go for it!
As an owner of a 991.2, I agree the 991.1 has its benefits of being naturally aspirated. The infotainment system on the other hand would bother me. Still think the 991.1 is a great buy and great car.
As the owner of a 991-1 cab with a manual gearbox, I think it is truly the sweat spot for Porsche. With the exception of no cameras, not any tech that I need.
Love the letterbox! 🇬🇧
I do own a 2012 991 Carrera S. In the past, I owned 65-XKE, 81-280ZX, 77-930, 86-944, 88-911 Carrera, 09-328i, 08-M3, 88-e30 convertible but the 991 S is the best transportation that I ever owned. Fun, fast, reliable and good looking. Thumbs up everywhere! Put a smile in my face and always gives me a sense of a special occasion every time I drive it. It is still relatively affordable. Cheers!
Nice! Cheers!
I agree !
👍 Amazing Video . I have heard no rumors about the 992.2, but a 4L no turbos engine would be a surprise! Greetings -CuteCatScores YT
Remember, it's not an automatic per se. No torque converter, no planetary gears. It's a manual gearbox with 2 wet clutches and electro-hydraulic actuation. Imagine it in a 928 RoW!
Hahaha! That would be awesome!
BTW, I owned Cyrille's 928 10 years ago and replaced it with a 991.1 C2S a lot like the one in the vdo. It does everything so very well but I'll always love the 928S!
The solution for the outdated PCM is installing a wireless apple carplay. You don't change the look but at least you have apple carplay.
I am tempted by a 991 as the 992 are just daft prices nowadays.
Agreed!
The only thing I don’t quite fancy on that car it’s the steering wheel. I have the old 987 S with the upside down triangle shaped one and that’s way nicer looking. Perhaps a Momo number 7 would be better. 🤔
The sport wheel is cleaner and not plastic
I like the 928 best naturally aspirated V8 prefer to 996 too 928 S2 is the best one of lot early 928 looks less complex than S4 with most advanced early engine
Jay does all 911 have engine score problems? if not what year did Porscha resolve the problem and want did, they do differently with the engineering. thanks
Hi John! Here’s a good PCA article which explains it. I would say, however, beware of people who would sell you the solution as they heighten the fear of it!

@@JAYREAD Thank You Jay
@@johnsmith4219 My pleasure, John!
So high tech, honestly prefer your low tech 928 , something more raw about it
is it too risky to buy a used 996 with a rebuilt engine, or do you always try to find one that is stock? I am looking at a great deal on a very clean 996 with a newer 2005 rebuilt engine from an IMS failure. car has 132K miles on it, engine has more like 50K on it. I was hoping to get a manual, but the price is pretty good, and I am tired of just watching your videos, I want to own one of my own! thanks again, love all your content.
Why don’t you ask about the engine? Where did it come from? Who installed it? Porsche dealers installed a lot of them back then. Dive on in and enjoy and thanks for the nice feedback!
@@JAYREAD thank you so much for your quick reply, its a 2002 996 and around 85K miles the engine was replaced by Beverly Hills Porsche in 2005 with a brand new 3.6 liter engine that is updated by factory and does not requier IMS bearing update (dealer invoice available), the transmission and the transfer case was completely rebuild by Aamco Transmissions 2 years ago with less than 1000 miles since rebuilt. its in great shape, just didn't know if its a thing with porsche owners to not get an engine that has been rebuilt. I was hoping for a manual, but I figured I can always upgrade
@@davecory5047 If a Porsche dealer put it in, that’s probably better than the original, right? Wouldn’t stop me!
928 or 911. 928 for me.
Sad to hear the 992 will be NA. I thought the 991.1 was going to be the last N.A. non gt car
I suspect you might be in the minority given the current GT3’s popularity! High revving flat sixes seem in demand right now!
It's pretty slow these days. I mean, a m240i xdrive and a TT-RS are both faster on 0-60 and 0-150 mph
I don’t think it’s fair to say it is slow. Moreover, speed has been democratized over the years and becomes less and less relevant. Porsches are still low weight, well handling, well manufactured sports cars that are a pleasure to own. Not sure the cars you list are as special. You pick what is important to you. This is just my opinion.
Love my 2013 991.1s BUT;(always a but!) truth is ,it has lacks low end torque and isn't really that quick in real life off a stop light! Howso? because you're going to look stupid playing my car can beat up your car trying to anticipate a green light with launch control. So engaging launch control ,for a 4 second 0-60 , takes 4 or 5 seconds for the process, and one never knows when the light turns green. I would never put that abuse to my car. Real life: you'd miss it more often than not. Without Launch control, just under 5 is about real life, which these days isn't special. Still handles and goes around corners and decent pick up when it gets spinning .
Porsche 991.1 reliability modern with a classic naturally aspirated sound coming from the back of the motor is priceless yes you can get a newer one but why would you spend 150,000 and it sounds like a sewing machine when the Porsche 991 that one sounds better than a Ferrari F3 55 that is a strong statement I just gave I wasLooking to buy a Ferrari F3 55 Berlinetta strictly because of the way the sound of the car and the sex appeal but for half the price and less of a mechanical room headache I will have more money in my pocket more reliability and a timeless sexy machine it’s a no-brainer porch there is no substitute if you’re reading this make sure you get a Porsche 991 that one you won’t be sad it will put a grin on your face every time you start it up I promise
Sorry but no way Porsche puts a NA 4.0 in the Carrera any time soon. Jmo
We’ll soon see! That’s the rumor though!
I’m be surprised if they go with that NA engine too. To keep the pace it would need 480hp which is close to the GT3 engine. Can they confidently turn that 4.0 Cayman engine up enough for that?
992.1 sales have been great, they can just turn up the power on that existing 3.0 engine to get to 480 and above for the 992.2 Carrera S, so why not just do that and bank the profit?
I’m making the assumption Porsche will launch the next Carrera S at the old GTS HP range and keep that trend going.
Maybe a Carrera T with the 4.0 Cayman engine as a trim level eventually though?
