look, an automatic/tiptronic is better for a lot of people who daily drive in places with heavy traffic. manually shifting loses its appeal in rush hour. and for what? to impress someone who probably doesn't even own a porsche. who cares? life's too short to live to others' standards. do what you feel compelled to do.
merci pour ta vidéo sympathique , dit moi ya t il une grosse différence entre la carrera et la carrera S ? c est pas les même moteur que la 996 ?plus nerveuse en boite mécanique ou auto ? MERCI de me répondre
I dont understand why a lof of people complain about the automatic gear. I have a manual 996 and i'm seriously thinking about a 997 auto. I drive it every day en nowadays there is lot off trafic and the manual is not that handy. I driven a auto last week and i must say, its not that terrible. Maybe i go for a 997.2 with PDK if i can fin one for a good price.
I have a 2009 997.2 pdk, it’s absolutely amazing. It changes gear faster than you can do manually . Much faster than the manual . Its a great piece of kit.
+Aj Luv Don't listen to them. Traffic isn't the same anymore. There are too many people and too much stop and go traffic. Who wants to keep their foot on a clutch all the time and feel their thigh muscle begin too fade away. I only buy automatics and with advent of PDK, all cars will be automatics!!!
FELiPES101 Yes, 997.2 got the PDK option. Miles better than TipTronic, miles faster than 6-speed manual. But I still prefer manual over both, just my preference. :)
A friend of mine bought a 997 cab with auto, and so that was the first thing I complained about... but he had a point: If you live in the city and go through the London rush hour every day, you don't wanna be on that clutch on and off; also, if you go manual, the clutch might well be the first thing to die on you. Have you seen that down-shift rev matching feature for the 991 manual in action? It's crazy; it seems to deliver a deeply satisfying experience, especially if you are not the best heel and toe expert ;)
As an owner of this exact model (same exterior colour with similar options), and living in London, I promise you I would never swap it for a manual. I don't even bother playing with the trip buttons either. I just put my foot down and hang on and focus on the road ahead. I still love my occasional weekend drives 5 1/2 year later.
The way you seat so low in this car is awesome !!
porsche 997... best sounding exhaust ever in my opinion. used to have one, those days are over i guess.
My dream car 😍 i will buy a Porsche one day.
I just bought one ❤️😊
@@kimhviid congrats! enjoy your porsche :)
Me too
But first I have to learn how to drive

@@danrook5757 i have a long way to be able to buy a porsche but i'm working towards it.
Beautiful car, really! I just would have taken the manual version. Safe travels!

The ultimate car...and what of the Audi A5 cab in the car park...the daily runner...?
ohhh i do miss my c2s 😢 even though i have a much faster car now the panamera turbo nothing can replace the joy of driving a 911
A fun little car
Accurate……beautiful

There is some difference between Tip and PDK!
A noticeable difference, the PDK rivals the manual transmission
I have a 2009 997.2 pdk, it’s absolutely amazing. It changes gear faster than you can do manually . Much faster than the manual . Its a great piece of kit.
what is the exhaust brand? cool vid
The classic exhaust is better than the sport in my opinion
Its a 2007 model with 355hp
This guy drives like an old grandma
But its an old grandpa!
whats the name of the begining music?!? thanks
Chicken Techno
Milujem to auto
Your car is dope but whyyyyy Oh why didn't you get a manual??
+Aj Luv Version.
+Aj Luv A Porsche with an auto is like a bitch with fake tits.....so glad my Porsche is a 5 speed manual.....cheers Aj Luv !
Sorry, I misread your comment.

The pdk is faster than the manual ! In answer to all the haters of auto gear box !
has it Tiptronic???
Fraap Fraap :-)
Elle est faite pour moi.
TipTronic... ruins the car in my opinion. Driven a Tip 997 and 6-spd 997, Tip makes it terrible
pdk wasn't until mk2 right?

oh ok, thanks for the correction i thought the facelift was only cosmetic.
it has 385 hp
No it doesn't. The 385HP version was between 2009-2012 where the facelift took place on the 997s.
this car is amazing, except that is not because this one is automatic
I will never understand the logic of buying a 911 in automatic. Nice car but it HAS to be manual IMO.

Pdk is faster than the manual !
Lovely car. Not a fan of tan interior though. And why buy a car like that in an Automatic?! Such a shame.
Tu devrais cacher ta plaques ....
Just like my dad's
Can see why bought an auto
I saw a massive long stretch of road and you change down. Ughhh rbsjdjfjfdfy
Way too easy! Put some real noice up to 7000
Why would you waste your money and buy an automatic Porsche ? Go buy a Mercedes S class ? WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
