Porsche 911 (991 early model) Carrera S

The next car I drove was the Carrera S. This is theModel with over 50,000 km but with PASM, sport exhaust, sport chrono package, etc.It is.

This one's engine runs very well, and it is hard to believe that it has over 50,000 km.After all, how you ride is important.Used cars cannot be described by distance alone.The engine starts smoothly, and the Carrera S has better low-speed torque at town speeds.It is.

I'm not saying that the Carrera is lacking, but in the case of the Carrera, I dare say that it is great fun to drive around town in a lower gear, with the car in Sport mode. On the other handCarrera S has thick low-speed torqueSo, my impression is that you can enjoy driving in the city without having to go that far.

And my first impression when I first got on board was.This Carrera S is a very comfortable ride.It is moist from low speeds and has a great ground feel. From the start of rolling, it is very smooth and pleasant.

This car is20-inch Carrera Classic wheels + PZERO are installedThe combination of this and the S's standard brake would be one of the least mistaken combinations.

The behavior in the corners is very natural, neither too sharp nor too mild.Easy to drive rhythmically, yet very grounded, so you feel safe even when flying.There is a To be honest, this individual is personally 'not a(after the -te form of a verb) I want (you) toIt was a high level of perfection that even made me think, 'I've never seen anything like this before.

The only downside to this unit is.Shift shock when upshifting when revving to high rpm in Sport PlusThe shocks are a bit larger for the PDK, a point I did not feel in the 25,000 km Carrera.

It was very smooth in the low-mid RPM range, but that was the only thing I found a little disappointing. I think this difference may be due to the 50,000 km mileage and the way it has been used so far.

Finally, I would like to report on the differences in the seats. They were all standard sport seats, butCarrera has 4-way partial leather, Carrera S has 14-way seats and leather finishIt is.

Comparing the two, the difference in price is still felt. Although the seats have the same shape, the appearance and texture of the seats differ depending on the material of the seat upholstery, and it is clear that the 4-way or 14-way seats are different in terms of holding feeling and comfort when sitting down, so much so that at first I mistook them for Sports Seat Plus.

However, I must warn you, this time we're comparing the same time period, so it's as if we know.If you don't compare directly, I don't find much to complain about in a 4-way.I think. By the way, I think partial leather is more durable.

I've just done a direct comparison between the Carrera and the Carrera S.I didn't feel the power difference between the engines as much as I expected.If this were a circuit or autobahn, you would feel it more, but on a regular road, it is at most a thickness of torque for city driving. So I don't think we need to worry so much about the difference due to engine power.

More than that.Should be selected with or without options such as PASM, PCCB, Sport Chrono Package, etc.I think. It is difficult to find a few articles comparing Porsche options because there is not much information available, but I hope this article will be helpful to readers in their choice of a used car.
