Disagree. Nick has a following because he puts an incredible amount of effort into reviewing many many cars. The problems with his personal car are a footnote. You aren't going to post some complaint videos and get anywhere near the exposure he gets.

There are many car reviewers on YouTube with bigger followings. But if his pcar problems are just a footnote, as you say, it does explain why Porsche hasn’t been at all bothered by his unusual pattern of problems.

I need a YouTube movie clip, otherwise I'll have to watch the whole movie - this is exactly the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night.

A shame he won't buy a 992 the first year out.

either there is an issue or not. Tech either can reproduce a problem or not. If problem is found then it must be fixed. If not then days in the shop and repair days are accruing. Lemon Law buy back gets closer if car keeps coming back. Interesting that they could not fix the car in the end. I’m sure they brought out the Porsche repair specialists to assess the issue before voluntarily buying the car back.

Poor b@stard. I would not have reacted so gentlemanly on the first lemon, let alone the second. And he friggin LOVED that car. I guess it was time for a new one. Im betting its a green 992 manual carrera. He loves the small turbos
Do it Nick!

You think if Nick’s future 992 breaks down as well, he can also become the first person Porsche officially bans from buying anymore 911s? lol.

Too bad. I’ll miss seeing his 911 videos.
