I was lucky enough to buy a 997.2 a couple of weeks ago. Your heartfelt commentary really resonated with me. Porsche's have always been at the technical forefront of engineering, but buying one is not just a "head" decision. It's a "heart" decision too because there is just something so magical about them and their history. Im looking forward to years of fun with my new car!
Hi Scott, thank you for this wonderful comment and feedback. I am so pleased for you on your new purchase! I was explaining to a colleague today how difficult it is to describe the feeling of owning a 911; the marvellous feat of engineering and design that it is - but the timelessness of it, the history, pedigree and heritage! I feel so lucky to drive them - I know you will love yours! Wishing you many years of happy motoring and ownership! Let me know more about your experience with it as you get to know it more - I love hearing other folks Porsche stories! 😁
I have a 2023 MKV Supra 6MT and I’ve been wanting to trade it in to get a 997.2. Your video has made me feel comfortable about my decision to start my search. You honestly covered everything I was wondering about in reference to Porsche ownership and 997 generation as well. My biggest concern was the cost of ownership and “reliability”. Any maintenance or common issues you have experienced or seen in this 997.2 generation I should be aware of?
Hi Chris - thanks for the feedback my friend - I really appreciate it! I think the 997.2 is such a wonderful car and probably the best way to get into a reliable and fairly modern 911 without having to sell your house! Honestly I never faced many issues over the years of 997 ownership (even the gen 1s that I owned which are notorious) other than a leaking coolant cross pipe once. Like all car purchases - inspect the vehicle carefully before purchase. Look for a good set of paperwork and a well kept service book. I’ve found that an owner that has addressed issues promptly with Porsche directly or with specialists and have kept good records of it usually have a great car to sell. Also try to get your car from a reputable Porsche specialist there are loads out there as they will only stock cars with a good history and should take care of you if anything were to go wrong in the future. Wishing you all the best with your purchase - let me know how you get on!
Hi Chris, again hard to say, any one can get unlucky with a big issue on a car but if we are going by consensus and my own experience i have had high mileage PDKs and no issues. One of the reasons the 911 and 997.2 gen in particular has its coveted reputation is because of its reliability and build quality. Again that’s not to say a major failure won’t happen to you but honestly the chances are slimmer than most other cars of this type and age. I daily my 911’s - they are to be driven, honesty I have never owned cars more reliable.
Assalamual’aikum brother, praying you’re well. Alhumdullilah I’ve put my deposit down on my Porsche 😊I’ve got a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Convertible. Please send me your email address and I will send you some photos. Insha’Allah let’s plan on meeting up this summer 😊🙏
Now that you mention it - city traffic just isn’t fun at all no matter how you tackle it! 😂 Thank you for watching the video and taking the time to drop a comment!
Assalamual’aikum brother, Alhumdullilah I’ve just put a deposit down on a 911 991.1 Carrera S Sport Special edition. I’m still pinching myself and can’t believe I am going to achieve my dream car after years and years of dreams!. The blessing of Ramadhan have helped no doubt!. 😊🤲 speak soon!
Walaikum Salaam - that’s fantastic news! Congratulations!! What an awesome Eid present! Blessings and hard work lead to success! I’m sure it’s all well deserved! Looking forward to hearing all about your experiences with your new Porsche 911!!!
Definitely would! Ramadan Kareem, I hope your fasts are going well. I haven’t been to one for a while do plan to get out to a couple later this year iA.
Very informative video. I’ve got an ender3, and I must say the noise is very minimal compared to my printer, and the app just kills it. I am waiting to see what you’ve got in store.Noice one!
Thank you Yusuf! I really appreciate your feedback! I’ve got the 3D printing bug now!! It’s so incredible! The Ender 3 is an OG in the 3D print game and was the first 3D printer I ever got to see in action. Was so close to getting one myself on a few occasions before this one came out. Genuinely want to build an iron man suit next 🙈
I might have a controversial opinion. I had a 2017 991.2 Carrera with PDK. I was in love with it. Someone crashed into me and totaled it. A couple months later I bought a 2009 997.2 Carrera S. I love the car, it is awesome, so don’t misunderstand. But I think the 2017 was a better car in every aspect. It drove better, it sounded better (even with the turbos 🧐) and it still felt small and nimble. I love my 997.2 but I am actually looking forward to getting back into a 991.2.
Hi Devin - I don’t think that’s controversial at all!! I’m a huge fan of the 991 generation and have flipped between the two as well - check out my 991 review on my channel! I think all 911’s have their unique characteristics and you can’t lose with any one! People often claim one is superior to the other but honestly - it’s a matter of opinions, budgets and circumstances to me. There is a 911 for everyone one! Good luck on your hunt for another 991.2 and thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. Please do subscribe to the channel - more cool Porsche and Tech content to come! 😁
Thank you - I really appreciate it! I do try to make the best vids I can! Hopefully more great vids to come! Please do subscribe if you haven’t already 😉 and thank you again for taking the time to drop some feedback!
Thanks Daniel! I really appreciate your feedback! Haha - tell me about it! Luckily they are hard back seat and wipe down easily!! 😉 It really is a special car! Please do subscribe for more Porsche and Tech content if you haven’t already! Got some cool stuff in the pipeline!
Thanks Jon! Im so glad you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment. The 997.2 truly is so special and I agree will climb in value and will probably always be regarded as one of the greatest 911’s of all time. Please do subscribe and stay locked for more content - I like to mix it up between tech and cars 😉
Thank you my friend - since making this video I have made a jewellery box for my daughter, a pull string helicopter for my son (that briefly features at the beginning of the video) and a phone stand with a mechanical style angle adjustment. I am currently looking for a good set of files to use to start building a wearable iron man armour too!! (Yes I am a big kid!! 😄) That’s a dream project for me! I’ll post some videos on what I create in the future! Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to drop a comment!
Thank you bro! This thing is witchcraft! Honestly the things you can make blows my mind! I’m lucky I have a certain smart fella in my life who is a real pro 3D Printsmith already to help me take it to the next level!
Your content is very good but the SEO condition of your channel is not very good. If you can follow this SEO section, your channel will get very good viewers and subscribers. your SEO score is 53.7 out of 100
I know it looked like that didn’t it - it’s not the first time I’ve heard that!!! 😂 Thanks for watching the vid and taking the time to drop a comment - stay locked in for more!
I am not into cars; however, this was mesmerising!! It must have taken you ages to compile all the shots. It is unbelievable that it was done by a one-man band. Nice work, and the music choice is spot on. Can’t wait to see more!
Thank you so much Yusuf for taking the time to drop this comment - I’m so happy that you appreciated the video - it was a labour of love! My entire intention was to make a video that was mesmerising and satisfying to watch and your comment has made my day!! Thank you for your support, I’m working on new videos all the time! Stay tuned!
Hello Sir, I saw your RU-vid channel. ( Raashid Din ) Your channel has many videos but not enough views and subscribers. Your channel should be optimized, and your videos are very good but your video optimization is very bad Example: SEO score is very low, no perfect title - description - no SEO-friendly tags added, no social media sharing Platform and some in your RU-vid channel Settings are not correct. Because of this, your video is not reaching the people who are interested and you are not getting enough views, likes, and subscriptions Many problems for which your video views and subscribers are not good. As a result, your video views are not affected. You need SEO for your RU-vid channel immediately. As a video SEO expert, I look forward to your response. Thank you.
Awesome - that’s a huge technology jump from series 4 to ultra 2 - there will be so many new features for you to enjoy! How are you finding the size difference? The Ultra 2 must feel massive in comparison to your previous Apple Watch?
Assalaamu’alaikum brother, I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and point of views on the ownership of your 911’s. I’m just in the process of buying my first 911 997 Carrera 4S. 😊👍 40 years after seeing one when I was a kid!. Excellent and very informative videos and it’s uncanny how similar we are with your love of tech and gadgets etc.God bless you and your family and please do keep posting more Porsche content 👍
Walaikum’asalaam dear Ahmad. Thank you so much for your message! You wouldn’t believe how timely and needed it was! I really enjoy making my videos but I do sometimes wonder if they are really reaching anyone in the way I had hoped?! I put a lot of effort into some of these vids only to receive a few hundred views… but as long as there are folks like yourself out there enjoying and benefitting from them - it makes it all worth it! And I will keep them coming!!! Congratulations on your in coming Porsche 911 - I know that you will love it iA, they are so special!!! I would love you hear about it when you get it!! Stay in touch!
Walaikumsalaam, Insha’Allah will do once I get it. Maybe we could meet at one of the Porsche GB events in the future. By the way I’m a massive fan of iron man too!. Can I ask where you got your Iron Man helmet from?.
Meeting up at a Porsche event would be great! I haven’t been to one in ages! I am a HUGE iron man fan! Great that we share that in common too!! Bought my helmet from a company called ‘JoeToys’ the website is: joetoyss.com
Thanks Benjamin! It truly is!! I love the 997 - as mentioned in my vid I truly believe it’s the ‘sweet spot’ in the generations! I must be honest - I do have an impartiality to the 991.1 too!! However I think you said it best the - 997.2 C2S is the pinnacle!! (Although I must say - If I didn’t have to commute in London Traffic - I would definitely go back to a manual!!)
Hello my friend - it’s actually a Porsche factory colour called ‘Atlas Grey’ - it has a grey hue in low light and a navy/ midnight like blue hue in bright or direct sunlight. It’s really nice - very similar to the ‘Carbon Black’ colour BMW offers. I hope you enjoyed the video - thank you for taking the time to drop a comment!
@@raashiddin oh Wow, what a colour! You’ve got variety depending on light conditions. Must say I do really like that. Look forward to seeing more videos in the near future. Ps, your choice of background music went with the footage perfectly 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you my friend!! I really appreciate your feedback and kind words! I actually sit down with my little 7 year old son and run through a bunch of different music tracks to see what fits well with the footage of my videos and what give us a good vibe!! This particular bit of music gave me chills the first time I heard it and I knew it was the one! I really appreciate your support - more cool videos to come!!
Great review of the iPhone 15 pro max. As a iPhone pro max owner for most releases they are the best Smart Phones available. Really love this video, such a thorough and detailed review. Keep up the good work and keep those reviews coming.
Thank you so much Akshay! I put a lot of effort into this one!! Not getting the views I had hoped for, but getting comments like this makes it all worth it! Thank you brother!!
Hello mate - sure… it’s a lovely band. I got it from Amazon - it’s made by a company called NewWays - the details are bellow: NewWays 49mm 45mm 44mm 42mm Metal Strap for Apple Watch,Solid Stainless Steel Link Replacement Band Compatible with iWatch Ultra/Ultra2,Series 9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1/SE,Titanium amzn.eu/d/e5ig1jQ I hope you enjoyed the vid! Please do subscribe if you haven’t already 😉
😂 Mikey that’s hilarious - i wasn’t conscious of how I was holding my steering wheel but I guess i am now!! Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to drop a comment. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video 😁
Excellent video and super informative, Raashid. You make awesome videos and can see how much effort goes into it. I’ve been considering the regular IPhone 15 but Max seems like the real deal. The camera quality of the Max is crazy good!
Thank you bro - coming from a top creator like yourself this means so much to me!! You have been such a great supporter! No one knows better the effort that goes in than you - I’m trying to find my rhythm to get posting more regularly! The camera on the Max is awesome - it really is an essential part of my creator tool kit now! Crazy what our phone can do these days!! 😄
So I just went and watched the 14 pro review you did last year on your epic trip to Qatar and gave us a sneak peek of the awesome stadiums that went on to host the best World Cup for ages! Back to my point, was interesting to watch both reviews back to back, I really enjoy the way you deliver the salient features the production and humour are never lost on me… but I’m not upgrading!
Hmm not sure about the bulk of that beast. I too love the functionality, tough design and super battery life but I’m transitioning back to real watches. The iPhone with Dynamic Island is pretty neat and I’m loathed to be tracked all the time, that said I sleep track and train with an Apple watch and I fear the size will be a little restrictive for me small hands.. another great video feels like we’re in a conversation, thanks for chat!
It’s not for everyone’s tastes/ wrists… I agree! If you are transitioning back to real watches - the Oura ring we have discussed in the past is definitely the way to go! I think the Apple Watch is a tool that for now has truly earned its place in our lives - for me it’s an indispensable and trusty life companion! As I mentioned in the video, let’s see what Apple do with the Apple Watch X?! They might hook you back! Thanks for supporting and commenting as always big bro! 👊🏽
😂 it does feel like that somedays! Honestly though it’s a great bit of tech! I found an app that lets you watch RU-vid vids on the watch - crazy that, that’s even a thing! Thanks for watching the vid and commenting my friend!! Hit that sub button for more giant tech 😜
Thank you my friend!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the vid and am grateful for you taking the time to drop a comment too! Got some tech vids coming next but more Porsche content in the works too! Stay tuned!
Hello my friend, thank you for your feedback on the video! The CarPlay unit is by a company called NM automotive. The website is: www.nmautomotive.co.uk
Hello my friend, thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it! I try my best to make these videos as personal as possible to make a connection with those watching it - as there are 1000’s of 911 reviews out there and I just want to make something interesting and unique wherever possible. Thanks for recognising my diplomacy on the different generations!! 😂 People are often quick to put down the water cooled or the later more modern 911’s but it’s all a matter of perspective and experience! Choice is a good thing and when it comes to the Porsche 911 there is plenty of choice!! I’ll be dropping some tech videos next but will always return to Porsche content when I can - so please do subscribe and support the channel! Once again thank you for taking the time to reach out!
Hello my friend! That is so exciting… will it be your first Porsche? They are very special… once you get one you won’t want to drive anything else! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop a comment and I wish you all the best in your purchase of your 911 - let me know how you get on! 😃
Thank you so much my friend for taking the time to drop some feedback! I’m so happy you enjoyed the vid! Stay locked in I have more Tech and Porsche vids to come!
The 997.2 will be a natural successor for my 987.2 base Cayman as they have similarities, the 3.6 manual is what I’m looking for as an urbanite who resides in the outskirts of London, this will give me the purest analog drive and feel with little driving aid.
Hi CK, Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. I love the 987.2 Cayman! Such a great car, at different times I have had the base, ‘S’ and a 987.2 boxster too - loved them all! The 997’s were the natural next step for me too and I really appreciated the journey through the Mid engine 2 seaters to the 911 itself. Wishing you the best on your - let me know how to get on - 3.6 Manual is one hell of a car!!
