Porsche 911 Targa 4S 992 with $60k worth of options 

Love this type of video, Nick. Whenever I play with the 911 configurator I don't necessarily feel like I'm always understanding the various options and their value for money. This lays it out plainly. Along with the amusing commentary on which options are BS and which are not. Would love to see more of these if your time and access to new vehicles permit.

Haven’t watched the video yet but I’m already all smiles because the 1st sentence on the preview has “manual transmission” in it.

Great to see you back like your old self. Sorry you've had a few bumps lately... it's life. Love this car. PS your long hair makes you look older. Stay safe and so happy to see the old Nick back in the saddle!

Beautiful car but all of those moving parts to retract the roof could be a nightmare when the warranty expires. Enjoy!

It’s Nick saying “Ghetto” for me 🤣🤣 What an incredible spec. Thanks for featuring this one!!

I bought my Cayman S with 19” wheels and that’s about it I think :D Oh and the slightly better sound system… have fitted better brakes and will be fitting an lsd and coilovers. After 8 years of ownership, I couldn’t be happier with the thing :)

Crazy,there is no way I would be forking over $60k for just options,that $200k total approaches 911 Turbo territory that I would prefer.

Good one NM!! Thoroughly enjoyed your review. Detailed as usual which is what we call except from your channel! Also happy to see you enjoying life again....keep it up!

Still here Nick! Sometimes just quietly watching, The Targa is nice! Love that model.

My Targa GTS is in production now. I added about $25k in options. Can't wait!

Indeed, my absolute favorite 911. Would love to have it as a 4S, but would drop a lot (a real lot) of those options. Nick, regarding your enthusiasm driving this particular car, I think you should consider putting it on your wish list??! Anyway, this video was a real treat, thanks Nick! 🦅

Nick.... as always, awesome video. I love your honest Porsche reviews. I will definitely buy a Targa 4S in the future. You're right, they are beautiful 911's

It’s a beautiful car! Thanks for showing it.

Ordered Targa4s in August. Was 4th in line. Now next in line for allocation. Who knows I will ever have posession.

Excellent video, as usual. When it comes to options, functionality beats design 100% of the time. If you MUST pay Porsche prices for an option, at least make it something that increases functionality of the vehicle...

love your channel Nick !

Hey Nick, wonderful detail video on the Porsche 992 4S Targa. What a beautiful spec, the Targa is the 911 no one can take their eyes off.

My absolute favorite Porsche. Unfortunately I have a rule to never spend more on a car than I did on my home 26 years ago. Great video Nick Cheers!

With all what's going on in the world its nice to have some Nick in a Porsche time. thanks for taking the trouble to do the videos. P.S. your classical music clip is the same as the ringtone I have for my wife, sometimes I let it ring and ring 😄

Really digging the new "Dirk Diggler" look. xx thousand that option, xxxx thousand this option...no Alcantara to see and touch...Priceless.

Nick, Great video. Just got my allocation for a 992 Targa GTS. Picking options and colors this week.. This video helped me. Not sure I like the idea of Steven Segal sitting next to me !! Appreciate all your videos. I am a fan of the Targa. This will be my third one. Keep up the good work.

Wonderful review Nick, glad to see another one of your "traditional" Porsche 911 reviews. I'd love to watch a review on the 992 Turbo/Turbo S.

That’s a beauty, and a ton of options. Maybe the new owner can splurge another $200 to replace the amber markers. Enjoy all your video’s Nick.

Nick thank you for being a beacon of hope for dorky middle aged white guys who dream about German sports cars.

Thank you for illuminating how many options are very non-essential, I will have to save this for when I spec my 911 many years down the line!

You're the best Nick! Great video!

First time I’ve watched this channel, seems like a cool guy, nice video 👍

Blessings to your channel from mine here in Chicago 🙏

What a ride. Such a sweetheart. I agree with all of your spec judgements..

The rose colored glasses. An option we don't recommend! Congrats on 200k

Great color. Always liked the Targa, but I rather have a sunroof.

Excellent like always in your NO BS reviews. And, yes the GTS vs S No BS review is the one we have been waiting on. Is it worth it? Is it a noticeable performance difference? Etc. Include your pinch of humor. Thanks Nick.

Great video! Congrats on hitting 200 k subs

Excellent video Nick. I do like the painted wheel option on that car!

congrats on 200 K subs !

Gorgeous 992, gorgeous colour, great spec

I absolutely love this model. And this particular specification. Less some of the ridiculous options. Loved seeing it and I too love blue!!!

Always good seeing a Nick Murray video. Interestingly enough, Harry Metcalf (Harry's Garage) reviewed the 911 GTS a week ago, and gave very favorable reviews.

thanks nick.. good review and good question about the GTS...

I enjoyed this, Nick. Thank you for not taking the easy way out and declaring that the extensive option list was ridiculous and a waste of money. Everyone wants to option things their own way. This car reminds me of my Oak Green 992 C4S. I had a hard time not checking configurator boxes and wound up with a similarly bonkers options list. I plan on keeping the car for years and I don't want to regret anything so I went with my heart and spec'd it just how I wanted, without a concern for resale. I think I wound up with a pretty unique combination.

The Targa's are aimed at old guys who just want to toodle around town. They are noticeably heavier, slower and sloppier handling than a coupe with a sunroof.

Lovely colours, not sure on the list of options, but we’re all different. Thanks Nick.

Another excellent video Nick. Also, I love the Elvis sunglasses!

Thank you Nick a great video

Love your videos Nick. Picked up my 992 4 GTS convertible in December and it is amazing. Surprised how different it feels to the 991.2 I had before. Went for tge GTS because by the time I had specced up a 4S it was almost the same price, but GTS has a few extras as standard, such as the sport design package and not forgetting the few extra HP! I really like the Targa, but what puts me off is that you can't raise and lower the roof when driving. It is amazing how often I have done this in the convertible, especially with the unpredictable UK weather, and pulling over on a country lane, or even on a motorway is not always easy!

Keep up the good work Nick. Hi from a 981 BS owner over in the UK 🙂

Hitting the like button before the video even started. Not biased.

Haven't watched your channel in a year (youtube wouldn't remind me you existed until today...) what's going on with the hair?? :'D Congrats on 200k, happy i stumbled on your channel again!

Great review of a fantastic automobile. Appreciate your candor. Thanks.

The right way to buy a Porsche - order it exactly how you want it!

Great video Nick you kiwi legend. Love the Targa versions of the 911’s. Prefer them over cab. Personally I would go PDK just my preference 👌the Targas are great cruisers , cosmetically the best looking. Rarer too. 👌👏

Beautiful car and another great review, Nick. I’ve been watching your videos for some time now as I’ve considered buying a 911. I finally made the move last month, purchasing a very low mileage Carrera 4S. I love it! What a driver’s car. Keep the great reviews coming.

Here's my theory on GTS models. Porsche makes all their non-GTS press cars full-fat models that end up rather heavy, and then all the GTS press cars ship with the GTS exclusive lightweight options. So, the journalists aren't necessarily _wrong_ when they say there's a huge difference between the GTS and the S, but that difference is largely due to the options that were selected. There's probably over 100lb difference just from the 18-way heated and ventilated seats vs the fixed carbon seats.

New car video finally!

Love the Targa!

Hi Nick, Another use for the front axil lift is that it makes it easier to get out of the car. For example, a person with an injury or arthritis would appreciate the extra height when exiting the car. Plus, I really hate that sound when you drag the front of the car over a speed bump or the concrete at the end of a parking space. I have always really liked the Targa 911's. And although I don't hate the convertibles. Given the choice, I would pick the Targa. But given my personality, I would probably end up with a coupe with a sunroof.

The option I don't get the most is actually the full leather interior that's just in black. They offer some awesome interior color combos for the same price as just black; a tan, red or white interior would look a lot better here.

Great vid Nick

Congrats on reaching 200K subscribers Nick!!

Cool video Nick - Nice Sunglasses too !

amazing car!

I love puddle lights so much i even have them on all of my shoes now!

I like Targa the most always ❗️

This is really it the right review for first time Porsche to become owners and this guy answers all the ins and outs of the website options. Better than Doug De Muro

Man... the way you said "ghetto" at 8:16 had me rolling.

200k subscribers!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hi Nick, awesome video! Will there be a review on the 2022 Macan S vs. GTS?

Great video Nick, if you have the money why not, personally the basics work for me, lightweight all the way

Nick back to his hunting ground what a car beautiful 😍

I love that color

The only fatal flaw in this build is the lack of personalized door sills. Oh, and leather air vent slats. Other than these items, perfect. thanks for the rapid dry towels, love them!

Absolutely beautiful car

Was just at my local dealer yesterday walking around the lot to see if I can find a Macan S, but not a single one, only a few base models. Although to my surprise I did see a 992 Turbo S and a GT3, I figured those were way harder to find than a Macan S but I guess not.

A new video and fifteen points! That's an awesome and unexpected treat, thanks! By the way, what's my current points total, Nick?

Excellent infographic at 1:08

$3k should also include real Corinthian leather on wheel center caps, brake calipers, and stereo buttons. And a matching leather jacket, chaps, and cap!

It looks very nice

I'm looking forward to see your side-by-side review of the S and GTS. From what I've seen the S has gotten softer and more plush to appeal to the aging baby boomers, while the GTS retains that sport driving feel. I'm curious to know if you agree or not with that statement. I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on either the 4S, GTS, or GT3 Touring.

My god that is stunning! But why oh why would the dealer register it to be a demo? It surely can’t be a customer’s car can it? Then let the crazy Kiwi lose in it! 😂 just rev that engine once more Nick 😜

Good looking targa! 18 way seats, those wheels and blue ext colour for me is enough options.

Gorgeous car, I've always liked the idea of a convertible but not keen on a cloth roof. A targa might be the best middle ground. 60K in options is a lot but in this car they do take it to the next level and could even see this car as a future classic.

Missed you nick and your beautiful videos. And yes 🎶 anybody ?

Porsche has wind buffering aced. Boxster top down 80mph in Mexico and my chapeau stays on. I really like the look of the Targa in DBM. 10k for no brake dust seems such a small price to pay.

Hi Nick. Great video and thank you for the review. I have ordered my 911 Targa 4 GTS very early in 2022 in Shark Blue. I appreciate your comments about options as I have time to make changes before I get my allocation which I expect Q12023

Beautiful car you got to drive there, awesome video as usual. I would love a PTS Brewster Green Targa 4S, but here it comes out to about 400K all said and done, chose to go with a PTS Dark Olive Green GT4RS. Perhaps when I’m older, too old to DD a track weapon.

It’s gorgeous car.

Cant wait for the gts...especially for your opinion on the gear box...if you love it already shorter throws shoud be a blast...

Looking forward to Nick’s new car. Wonder what’s his final choice after testing out all the 911 models? Maybe a GT3 Touring? 🤣

I love your 911 Targa. I've been looking for a Used base 911 Carrera in the same color. Now that I see your Targa, if I can't have the same, I don't want to settle for any other Porsche. Off to Lexus...

In my opinion there are alot of optional extras that should be standard on a car of this caliber, for example, Power folding mirrors, power steering coloum, puddle lights, ventilated seats (if 18 way seat optioned), Porsche crest on seat headrest maybe even on the armrest, and leather covered steering column. For a starting price of $137,000 and options inevitable, these should be standard equipment.

I’m one of the lucky ones to take delivery of one of these beautiful manual targa 4S’s last summer. Mine isn’t quite as expensive, but super nicely appointed, and I would argue better looking than this one here. I went with dolomite silver metallic exterior and burgundy red/black full leather interior with carbon fiber trim. Definitely a dream car! If I can recommend anything is please get the front axle lift, it’s a must!

Love the details, but for me the wood trim would have elevated the car so much!! But that might just be, blue with brown looks amazing!!

Good thing I'm broke. Having to decide which options I would and wouldn't want would drive me nuts.

I never want to see Nick without his top on.

Dear Nick, do you think we will see any time soon the new macan s and macan gts comparison?

Great video, Nick. I think I will keep my ‘87 3.2 with almost zero options and invest my $200k. Wish I could invest in Porsche shares given their likely margins on options!

No sure alot of the extra weight is up top,well not 400lbs anyway I suspect it has a few more bracing rails on the chassis, a bit on the roof and rollover " hoop" and I bet the rear glass is heavy, I also guess the motor arms and hinges are heavy duty.

NICK, another outstanding video you truly are a Porsche guy I want your opinion which Porsche do you like better the TARGA 4S or the Targa for GTS??? Please let me know when you can I know you’re busy I really enjoy your videos and I will tell you I’m Alexis guy. I’ve been buying Lexuses since when the company came out in 1989 and I will tell you I never thought in 1 million years that I would be considering buying a Porsche, but I’m falling in love with the car and you do phenomenal videos with the Porsches videos. I appreciate you brother you do a great job. Thank you.

Nick. I like your haircut. When I heard “geeetto” I spit my food.

Dream car!!
