I love the 992 but if anyone talks about Porsche "quality", I need to slap them. It is not a thing any longer if it ever was. I have owned 52 cars in my life and the car with the most issues was the 992... by FAR. People can say I'm crazy but my C8 Corvette had better build quality when it came to squeaks, rattles and silly issues. I love the 992 but I'm disappointed by Porsche build "quality" and attention to detail.

I installed the cargraphic controller and don’t get the rattles anymore.

that is crazy power! do you even get any traction above 4000 rpm?
people who don't like the "rattles" ... sell your cars and get the "rattle free gens

the 992 is a modern car. modern cars ARE NOT built the same as cars were 25+ years ago. it doesn't matter how much you paid or who made the car, they are just not the same. they will never be the same. it is about getting the greatest return for shareholders, efficiencies, and meeting demand. this is the result.
like i mentioned earlier, if you guys don't like that, sell and go older and good luck with that.

I get a kick out of people saying it is a sports car and not a luxury car. They are both, leaning more to one side or the other depending on how you spec them of course or what model you have. I only have 14xx miles on my GTS, but count myself very lucky that I’m not hearing any rattles yet. I feel for you OP, they suck and can drive one bananas. I don’t think it is unreasonable to think people want a fairly rattle free experience paying what we do for these things. Plus its not like building cars is a new thing. You’d think after a 100 years of doing this that this problem would be mostly gone by now.

I have a '21 jeep and a '22 kia both rattle free. It's not a new car thing, it's a design and quality assurance thing. The excessive rattles in the 911 show failures on both fronts. Sports car or not, rattles and poor fitting panels/trim pieces can be eliminated or drastically reduced on this platform. I rent cars a few times a month for work and my 911 has more rattles than any modern car I've driven in the past 2-3 years.
