Default youtuber review - bit aggressive but does he have a point?


This review is a bit aggressive - and the car we all love apparently is a hot, 10 year older schoolteacher... watch for more on that

But what about the comment about the footrest? Is that really a problem? Anyone agrees with that?

He can't pronounce the letter T thats for sure. Speech therapist?

I haven't noticed the footrest issue.

He doesn't like the foot rest. Could have said that in 21 seconds vs 21 minutes. Nothing new to see here.

I disagree. I thought the scenery in Romania was quite interesting.

6 weeks and 4k miles since I have the 992, and I never thought a second about the foot rest.
It's just there and does what it should do.

I've done a 10hr stint behind the wheel and the dead pedal is fine.

RE: foot rest, maybe he's sitting on the wrong side.

This is photo showing foot rest in my 992. It is plenty wide for my Size 11 D shoe. My 992 is North America version. Is the foot rest narrower for some reason on right hand drive version as review used. It appears to be in the video.

Why not keep the key in your pocket?

If a misplaced footrest is the only "huge problem" there is about the 992, then I'd imagine the boys and girls at Stuttgart should be pretty pleased with themselves.
