Great idea having one place to post reviews.

Here's my addition. Some guy named Pete Stout. Think he's an up and comer and might have a future in auto journalism.

Lots of details with some interior colours, wheels in the metal etc. The configurator can be so misleading and why is guards red looking so tasty all of a sudden??

Thomas is great. Not the best drive by far but will give you the most detailed analysis by far!

I enjoyed both Autogefuhl reviews, lengthy but informative. "Great sports car but too expensive now" at around the 52 minute mark "someone has to say it" I think seems to be a common thread through a few of the reviews although not so baldly stated.

Probably the best shots of the club leather and wood trim so far:

Darn. This looked so well done I wish I understood German! Excellent lighting and great use of the historic stying reviews.

You can try the youtube live subtitle translator which can be quite funny.
Another review in German:


I like the quad pipes (ideally in black). If you compare this video to Thomas' review they sound very similar. Will have to hear for myself having previously forked out for PSE, I may skip and go for something which will louden the sound instead.

I'm with you on the Guards. My first three Porsches were red, and since then I've had silver/gray/white cars. I was thinking bout Aventurine, but after seeing all these videos of red cars, I'm ordering a red one as soon as the manuals are available.

R&T review. It reveals much of what I hoped, and some of what I feared. Interesting read.

At least the EPS and sound are improved. What worries me is the stated lack of 'buzz' that the old cars had.

The old 911 feel. like a beautiful woman taking your hand and saying "come break the law with me."

I hope that some models will retain that vibe, and dispense with the touring car softness.
