How My Impressions of the New Porsche 911 (992) Changed After 9 Months

Riding the 911 Cabriolet (992) After a While We have a 911 Cabriolet (992 model) at home. My husband has driven it about 5,000 km so far, but I only drive it occasionally. He often says to me, “Why don’t you drive it more!?” but since I usually only drive short distances—like a few minutes to the supermarket or to pick up our child from kindergarten—I think, “It feels like such a waste to take...

The Feeling of a Porsche Partner A while after our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered, my husband said, The 992 is just amazing…! I might not even need the GT3 or Boxster anymore.

Has the New Porsche 911 (992) Become Just a Passenger Car? A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

About the Porsche 911 (992) When test drives for the current 911 (992) first began, I occasionally came across less-than-favorable reviews saying things like, “The 992 is so easy to drive it’s become just a passenger car” or “The 992 isn’t fun anymore.” But is that really the case?
