Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) Review: How It Compares with the GT3 and What It’s Like to Drive

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

The Porsche 911 (992) When test drives of the current 911 (992) first began, I came across some less-than-flattering reviews.

The first time my husband and I test-drove a 992, we drove a 911 Carrera 4S. It was certainly easy to drive, comfortable, and wonderfully...

Porsche 911 (992) Driving Position: How Does It Compare with the 991 and 981?

The Porsche 911 Driving Position The other day, my husband came home after driving our 911 Cabriolet (992) and started telling me about it. The 992 rides firmly, but smoothly.

Porsche 911 Carrera (992) Oil Change Costs and More

Oil Change for Porsche 911 (992) The other day, my husband already had the oil and filter changed on his 911 Cabriolet (992) at the dealer.
