Liked that. Quite an improvement over the last gen, IMO. I would definitely consider an upgrade to it if it were possible.

It does NOT sound like the NA six in a 996!

I really like Chris Harris' reviews, and have watched so many of them. This is the first one I have seen that disappointed, as it felt like an advertisement for Porsche. Too much talking about cup holders and too little driving.

Hopefully this will not be a trend with him, but I guess everyone has to make a living.

That is about the only thing I don't like about it. I guess the good thing is that you don't see it like then when parked or driving.

Although a positive review, he's not super excited as per normal. Shifts in PDK seem to be a let down?

i think the limiter is that they were not allowed to use the car on the public road so it’s a kind of half-review.

I'm sure this car is very capable and ticks a lot of boxes for many. IMHO the upcoming Cayman GT4 with over 400 hp will be the car to buy.
Pretty sure it will be available with a Manual transmission, and offered with PDK.

Yes, you're probably right.

Sounds and looks like Harris just got of a plane after sleeping in a car overnight, about enthused as a snickers sales rep
