I\u2019d already tested one before, but this car was different: it didn\u2019t have PCCB.<\/p>\n<p>So, while this is a Carrera S Cabriolet test drive, I\u2019ll focus on the differences between options and trim levels.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Carrera_S_Cabriolet\"><\/span>The Carrera S Cabriolet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This car is the first Porsche owned by the husband of a friend of my wife.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He bought a 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet.<\/strong> It had covered relatively few miles\u2014just over 20,000 km\u2014and had been fitted with an aftermarket exhaust, suspension, and wheels. Since the car was in excellent condition, however, he had all of those parts replaced with factory-standard components before buying it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/376DBD3C-B3E9-4A40-9136-EFAB8D767320-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"Red interior of the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4AB4938B-A91E-4657-BCC1-8FA17687910F-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve driven and written about quite a few 991.1 models, so take a look at those articles if you\u2019d like more detail.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparing_the_Carrera_S_Cabriolet_with_Other_9911_Trims\"><\/span>Comparing the Carrera S Cabriolet with Other 991.1 Trims<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Engine\"><\/span>Engine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Turn the key, pull away, and the 3.8-liter naturally aspirated engine pushes the car forward with ease, even at low revs. In the low-to-mid-range\u2014the part of the rev band most often used on the road\u2014the power gap between this car and the GTS doesn\u2019t feel particularly large.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FA1550BD-93CA-4CE9-AD20-4AE9192D906C-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By comparison, the Carrera\u2019s 3.4-liter engine can feel a little short on torque at low speeds next to the S. In stop-and-go traffic, for example, you may find yourself pressing the accelerator a little further.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>the Carrera\u2019s engine is the one you can really enjoy revving on winding roads.<\/strong> Its power is just right for Japan\u2019s tighter mountain roads, where you can give it the beans without holding back.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suspension\"><\/span>Suspension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Overall, the Carrera S Cabriolet\u2019s suspension feels excellent.<\/strong> The suspension was replaced with new parts when the car was returned to factory specification. Whether that explains the difference or this particular car is simply a good example, it has impressive grip and a supple ride.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the 991.1s I\u2019ve driven, I\u2019d put the Carrera S Cabriolet among the most comfortable. The open-top body may help absorb some of the bumps and vibrations. The ride is notably supple\u2014almost like a more refined version of the 981 Boxster.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/8387363B-D0D3-4F11-AAE1-052925278638-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"Wheels on the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also found that 991s fitted with the Classic wheels tend to ride well, and this car is no exception. I can\u2019t say whether that comes down to their weight or wheel balance, but a 991 on Classic wheels is one I\u2019d recommend considering.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Engine_Sound\"><\/span>Engine Sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>With the Sport Exhaust fitted, the engine sounds wonderfully assertive. The naturally aspirated soundtrack builds beautifully with speed and engine load. <strong>It\u2019s easy to see why the engineers proudly described the 991.1 as a \u201csix-cylinder orchestra.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Sport or Sport Plus, the exhaust pops and crackles loudly.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to those overrun pops for long enough and you may eventually want a quieter drive; some people simply aren\u2019t fans of the crackles. If that\u2019s you, <strong>switching off the Sport Exhaust will tone them down considerably.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The standard exhaust and the Sport Exhaust in its off setting may seem similar, but there is a subtle difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The standard exhaust sounds quieter\u2014or perhaps a little more refined\u2014while the Sport Exhaust in its off setting is slightly louder, with more emphasis on the lower frequencies<\/strong>, at least to my ears.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brakes\"><\/span>Brakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As for the difference between PCCB and standard brakes, I didn\u2019t notice much difference in ride comfort. At higher speeds, the PCCB-equipped car\u2019s suspension feels more supple and composed. At very low speeds, though, the car with standard brakes feels a little softer.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to stopping power, <strong>PCCB wins by a mile.<\/strong> The difference is obvious to anyone who drives both. Porsche\u2019s standard brakes are already excellent, but PCCB takes things to another level. It\u2019s impressive how effectively they scrub off speed with only light pedal pressure.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Handling\"><\/span>Handling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The car\u2019s composure and feel through corners are excellent. It turns in naturally and confidently, with no hint of instability. The lower center of gravity\u2014thanks in part to the lack of a fixed roof\u2014may contribute to that secure feel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cabriolet can be driven with plenty of sporting intent<\/strong>, which may surprise anyone whose experience of convertibles comes from other brands. Porsche\u2019s open-top models are engineered to deliver serious performance, with no compromises when it comes to the drive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6D3395EC-9642-44E7-A806-80272ADD505F-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"Badge on the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That said, put it directly up against the coupe and the coupe still feels more connected, with a more seamless conversation between driver and car. That\u2019s only natural.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This Carrera S Cabriolet is, of course, rear-wheel drive, but personally, I don\u2019t feel a major difference compared with an all-wheel-drive Cabriolet.<\/strong> In the coupe, the distinction between rear- and all-wheel drive is much clearer. For some reason, <strong>that gap seems smaller in the Cabriolet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ride_Comfort_PDCC_and_PASM\"><\/span>Ride Comfort, PDCC, and PASM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The difference between a car with and without PDCC isn\u2019t all that obvious when you\u2019re simply cruising along a winding road at a relaxed pace. But <strong>switch on PDCC Sport and push through a tight corner, and the difference becomes clear.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Body roll is noticeably reduced, as is the side-to-side movement felt by the occupants. If you enjoy a brisk pace and often have someone in the passenger seat, PDCC is an option well worth considering.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also asked owners of cars with PDCC about ride comfort in town. They say PDCC does make the ride smoother, with less body movement. It\u2019s a good option if you\u2019re buying a Porsche as a date car or often carrying a passenger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/378190E6-0B01-415A-BD72-9785248A23A4-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"Sport Exhaust System on the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Compared with the standard suspension, PASM generally offers a more comfortable ride.<\/strong> It also keeps body roll in check, so it gives the car a performance edge. But that\u2019s not where the standard suspension\u2019s appeal lies: it makes it easier to feel the weight transfer, and lets you enjoy guiding the car through a corner using a degree of body roll.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More experienced drivers may find the standard suspension more rewarding, thanks to the greater sense of control it gives them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Continue reading \u2192 A breakdown of what makes each trim special and where it excels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">Each 991.1 Trim in a Nutshell<\/h3>\n<p>After driving all these different 991.1 models, one thing is clear: <strong>every trim has its own appeal.<\/strong> Here\u2019s my personal take\u2014based on my own preferences\u2014on which models suit different uses.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">For Mountain Roads and Winding Routes (Driving Enjoyment First)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Carrera and Cabriolet models<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Carrera\u2019s 3.4-liter engine is especially fun. Its power is just right for enjoying the revs on Japan\u2019s mountain roads. I\u2019d also recommend the standard suspension, without PASM, to drivers who are confident behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">For Mountain Roads and Winding Routes (Prioritizing Speed)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Carrera S and GTS models<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re after more speed on larger, faster winding roads or stronger acceleration in a straight line, I\u2019d recommend an S or GTS with the 3.8-liter engine.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">As a Date Car<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Targa, Cabriolet, Carrera 4, and Turbo models<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 991.1 is generally a comfortable car, but the Targa and Cabriolet models are even more so. Add PASM or PDCC and it gets better still.<\/p>\n<p>The all-wheel-drive models are also comfortable. It\u2019s not just down to the suspension: all-wheel drive helps reduce fore-and-aft pitching, so passengers feel less movement. And the Turbo models deliver an exceptional combination of muscular torque and refinement.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re a perfect example of a car that puts its abundant power to work making every journey more comfortable.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">For Long-Distance Touring<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Carrera S, GTS, Carrera 4, and Turbo models<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For relaxed high-speed cruising on long journeys, an S or higher trim is the better choice, thanks to its extra power in reserve. Add all-wheel drive, and you have the complete package: a fast, all-weather touring machine.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">For City Driving<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Carrera S, GTS, and Turbo models<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For urban stop-and-go traffic, I recommend the S\u2019s 3.8-liter engine. Its strong low-speed torque means you don\u2019t need to press the accelerator as much, helping you stay fresh on longer drives. As an aside, though, this advice flips for the turbocharged 991.2 and 992: in town, the base Carrera is easier to drive.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">For the Track<\/h4>\n<p><strong>GT3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one hardly needs explaining: if you\u2019re serious about having fun on track, get the GT3. Its phenomenal performance, engine, and gearing come into their own on a circuit\u2014not on public roads.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That\u2019s my take. <strong>The 991.1 has become very popular, and good examples sell quickly.<\/strong> My personal prediction is that prices still have room to rise over the long term, and these cars will become even harder to find. The global market for used Porsches makes that clear: more and more high-quality examples are likely to leave Japan, where prices remain relatively low.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/D72B6047-AE28-4A31-AA9C-0C41D47913E3-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in buying a 991.1, I\u2019d move quickly when a good one comes up.
