The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Is the Perfect 911 Compromise 

For an extra $1,500 they’ll remove the floor mats for weight savings! 😂

I considering purchasing a Ford Focus, but after viewing this video, I will go for a Porsche 911 GTS. Thank you Doug

I liked how when he was driving by another Porsche he said “that’s pretty cool” 18:40

Lesser known fact - Doug still works at Porsche and is an undercover journalist. Kudos to reviewing your 5th Porsche 992 911

Ahhh, yes. A 911 for every budget... except affordable.

Porsche has always been a little more than the typical Sports car… but the pricing has gotten out of hand, especially options which are almost must have items. Add just a few things to this and you are pushing $170,000. It's ridiculous

Instead of hard launches and engine sounds, he drives around and talks about its market position. He’s a true Porsche fan 😜

In GTS form, both the 992 and 991.2 are the peak 911 in so many ways.

Porsche spent decades refining the 911s design and styling just for doug to give it a 7/10 😂

The older i get, the more i love the design and engineering of this car. An absolute classic.

After watching A LOT of reviews I never understood why we needed a 911 GTS between the Carrera S and the GT3/Turbo, I watch Doug's video and it makes so much sense now 🙌✨

Doug DeMuro is on the ball on this one. Thank you Doug for this excellent and indepth review. Can't wait for my GTS on order. 🙏💪

I really like the cleanliness of the exterior. It doesn't have all sorts of cuts, dips, and scifi-looking bits making it look like a video game car.

I love how they’ve pretty much kept this car the same for over 50 years in terms of it shape. True German engineering they just keep sharpening the blade instead of forming a whole new blade.

My parents used to tell me always that the goal shouldn't be to look rich, but to be rich.

Finally an in depth video, can always trust your vids, love the cupholder feature honestly. Im on the waitlist for a GTS right now and im stoked

So let me get this straight. Paint is $3300 Stitching in a color that matches the paint is $4500 ...??

I think the beauty of this car is that if you’re looking to get a car to just enjoy. Enjoy performance, enjoy comfort, enjoy luxury, enjoy aesthetics. You get it all. You can still impress your friends and enjoy the car

I have a feeling that getting one of these with a manual transmission would be the investment of a lifetime. Don't think they'll be sold as much but that only means they'll become very desirable as time goes on

911 Prices have just gone through the roof. A Carrera used to cost below 100k now you can option one out to nearly 200k, a Turbo S fully loaded is almost 300k, crazy.

Love how Doug's casually passing an older 991 and not even mentioning it :D

Thissssss is a perfect car review :) Thank you Doug for this video

Although I am an aficionado of 50s and 60s US steel, I have driven a Carrera 4 and I will say there is a reason these cars come with the high pricetag. They are built and feel like nothing else. Amazing automobiles

From 3.2 to 3.1 secs is basically the same acceleration, no difference at all. The important thing here is that they are fast... very fast.

I could see this having high demand in this used market 10-15 years from now, but the difficulty of engine access might keep that from happening.

Great Videos Doug!!!Keep up the good work..

Great review, I detail these cars for a living and I didn’t know the seat inserts were called racetek, I call it alcantara and it works great to hold you in place

Cool factor 6?😂 I understand that you live in Cali but if I show up in my city with one of these I'll be the coolest guy ever

If I were to buy a 911, I'd most likely go for a gts - it seems to be the perfect street sports car as far 911s go

The best Porsche reviewer I’ve watched. Thanks man

Thanks Doug for the 991.2 GTS review! I’m looking forward to the 991.2 R!

The details in your reviews and final scores is why I subscribe.

Man, just a timeless, beautiful car. Every day I find myself more smitten with the 911- save for a few models. The sheer sleekness shows how Porsche has been able to retain this design. Any car nut has "that one" (or a few) car(s) that are held above all else- our dream car(s). Ever since I was a young man, the C3 Corvette, to me, is the sexiest car to ever exist- And my dream car. That, and a Morgan Aero 8 GT coupe. The 911 has now joined the dream car list. This goes way, way beyond looks, clearly. I finally got a Corvette (sadly, not a C3) for my 40th birthday, and I absolutely love it. By my calculations, I could have the used Porsche that I've considered buying by the time I'm about 130. I've never even driven a 911, but I am now dead set on owning one after reading from hundreds of articles and enthusiast's about how truly great they are. Point being, the Corvette is plenty reliable to last me another 90 years.

@Doug Demuro: Thank you sir, keep these beautiful machines from Stuttgart coming on your channel 👍.

Awesome..love that paint job.. CHALK...even a base version with zero options is still an incredible car..911s are that good..MANUAL GEAR BOX AND RED SEAT BELTS

Hanging onto my 996.....that was so maligned but now is FINALLY getting praises after being the last of the truly analog 911s...These newer ones are too big

Remember when these were obtainable for people, even if they had to save up a little longer than they would for a Vette? Remember when Porsche came out with the Cayman because the 911 got too expensive and wanted to give people a chance to experience Porsche enthusiast driving bliss, and now they got too expensive as well? Shits just too expensive. I'm not a Vette guy, but even I will say it's an incredible performance car, and outside of scumbag stealership mark ups, it's obtainable for people. If not, you have Supra which is very OG Cayman like in experience. And now the Z, which will likely be C7 Vette like experience, just not built like trash and actually has a nicer quality interior.

Ordered mine today after waiting for a long time. Stoked

911 targa has always been my dream car. Now its the gts 4 targa. What a gorgeous well designed car.

Doug named the exact reasons why my brother went for a GTS. To say the least, he's excited to have his car delivered!

Doug has mastered the art of making the tease more interesting than the video you're watching.

Dude moves like a cyborg when explaining things. Like 50 times in one movement it has me crying 😂

18:41 Lmao Doug casually checking out the 991 in his side mirror

Doug: complains how all McClarens are the same as well as Ferrari (when they’re actually pretty distinct from one another) Also Doug: excited to share another 992 model. There’s the s. The rs. The gt. The gts. The gt2. The gt3. The gt2r the gt3r the gt2rs the gt3rs the non s labeled one the one that has a toaster, the one that live streams boxing matches, the one that turns into a bunk bed and then this one.

My favorite 911. This is the one to buy because you can get it in a Targa, have a rear seat delete, easier to get an allocation than a GT3, and can be easily tuned to over 600 hp if you want to void the warranty

Great review I love the GT2 & GT3 but definitely looking into the GTS as well

Completely agree with you, its the perfect mix of both. Just got my allocation for one

@2:04 I don’t think older men just buy sports cars to relive their youth. Most older men buy sports cars because by the time they’re financially able to afford one, they’re no longer the young men they used to be. I hate the fact that society tries to demonize men & place men into boxes.... Especially when it comes to men enjoying their lives and buying what they want. According to society, if a man buys a sports car, he’s either “compensating” or “trying to relive his youth”. Fellas, enjoy your life and buy what YOU want.

Hey, Doug! Why don't you go through the Doug Score scores one by one anymore? Those were some of my favorite parts! I liked to hear your reasoning. Anyway, still fin to watch. Good to see you going strong.

My dad just got a new Carrera 4 GTS. He got black everything, and tinted the windows 15% too. The car looks like a spaceship going down the road. It's like nothing Ive ever seen

I really miss Doug going through each category of the Doug Score

Greatest rivalries: Doug vs the guy who cares about stitching on his porsche

Spot on review. So good, I went out and bought one yesterday

Orginally ordered a base 911. Somehow managed to upgrade to GTS, lot firmer and focused compared to S, feels special.

I laugh every time Doug goes into his high tone Porsche "deviated stitching" owner voice.

Doug is spot on with the assessment. I’d rather buy a used GT3 RS for this kind of money and take it to the track.

Doug when he was pushing the park button The whole time I'm thinking of Pushin 🅿️🤣

great review! you have a strong Tarantino vibe.

Still has that awesome look. Well done Porsche for picking a solid designer.

Am I the only person who misses the "Doug Score" with the longer commentary? I think the explanation of each category added quality content.

I love the sorrento valley southbound on ramp ❤

I have this GTS with sport package. Absolutely special.

Had a friendly encounter with one of these while driving my 92 Integra. We were driving a twisty road together and it was so cool to see the active aero deploy while we were accelerated through corners.

I like how Doug is slowly improving even though he doesn’t have much to even improve on to begin with. That being said I’m talking about him showing what the options look like that aren’t on this exact car which is a bonus & ive been noticing he’s been doing it more!

I rented one for a few days on vacation. Definitely won’t afford my own anytime soon… but I get it. It’s a truly sensational driving experience

Doug always makes that voice when saying "stitching" lol. 😂 Also what a beautiful clean design. Definitely growing on me.

I rented a 911 Carrera S in LA recently, and absolutely hammered it down Angeles crest and the Malibu mountain roads. I absolutely did not think it lacked sportiness haha. Maybe I’m just not as well versed as Doug, but I came away scratching my head as to the need for anything more

The Porsche 911 overall is probably the very best blend of both high speed thrills and daily usability and comfort, sure a Lamborghini is faster but it's not as usable and a car like a m5 is more practical but it's not as thrilling and can't handle as well

Great job,Doug! When are you gonna reviews in the snow?

14:40 Reminds me of those arcade games, where you push a button for a short burst of power. I wonder if the Porsche designers were influenced by the same arcade games...

no other words then just this is an amazing car 🔥🔥🔥👍👍

18:40 he didn’t even notice the other 911

Porsche is by far my favorite luxury car brand, the iconic headlights are timeless and all their cars just have such a sexy design that stands out from the crowd

Absolutely beautiful car! Such clean lines, yet not boring at all!

Such a beautiful car ❤️ Would you take that over a 991.1 gen turbo?

Freaking Porsche , the major cost of these cars and bonus $$$ for “the Color black” - great video Doug - I really am starting to think the GT3 is the real 911, what M2 CS is to BMW

thank you for these videos

Chalk exterior with the black trim looks so nice

This is the best looking 911 Porsche has made in along time such a beautiful car 😎😍

I own a '16 911 Carrera GTS (991). I love it! Naturally Aspirated 3.8L with 430hp. I agree with everything Doug says about the GTS.

I’m thinking about buying one. I bought one of the first 997 GT3s and still have it, but haven’t been to the track in probably 7 years. I’m used to it for weekend getaways, but it’s always an adventure going on long road trips - it’s impossible to enjoy while grabbing liquor and groceries in unfamiliar places in unfamiliar towns and it sucks in any kind of wet weather. Scraping the front splitter is inevitable and I’m replacing it yearly. Rear tires are gone or just too diminished after about 5k miles to be safe and keep the performance the car deserves and I usually end up doing the fronts at the same time. This car seems worth a look for a person like me, but I’m so attached to my GT3 even though I’m probably too old for it lol.

Can’t wait for my GTS. Great review

Doug: Flying through a construction zone and passing cars like he's fleeing the country. lol

The problem with the price is, everything is expensive now. The "starter" homes in my area that were 150k several years ago are now 300k. It's not surprising that car prices have followed suit.

It's been a long time (decades) since I saw a new 911 that actually looks like a 911. Very nice.

Carbon trim is optional same as for regular cars. Dark aluminum is standard for GTS. Not only brakes are from Turbo but suspension with helper springs. Suspension is -20mm, not -10 vs standard. -10 is an option. Wheels are not direcly from Turbo S but slightly narrower.

Oh shit, Monza Sp1 review on the way

Can't wait for the Monza SP1 🔥

This lad is a hoot, makes me so happy!! awesome review. for me a 991.2 GT3 would still be the car of choice. This is still a wonderful option though!!

My buddy has a 2021 in this chalk colour with red interior. Incredible car.

Porsche taking ‘right to repair’ to a whole new level. While other Mfg’s make their car difficult for the DIY’er to work on through complicated technology, Porsche takes it one step further denying any access to the motor.

Can you go back to doing the full Doug score, not just showing the chart at the end

My ideal 911 would be the "base" spec Carrera with the cloth seats and manual gearbox

Actual owner here: You can spec a Carrera S and a GTS the same. They both are Carrera “S” models and it’s the options that are shared that make the difference like rear wheel steering, lowered suspension, axle lift, chassis,etc.. The option upgrade list is beyond extension for however bespoke you want to go.

My only complaint is red calipers and that they charge $1000 to paint them black. Also wish it had 20” wheels in the rear, the staggered 21” wheels look too big.

I've driven a 992 C4S last year with some of the items of the GTS (which made it really expensive, btw) and I really think that the GTS is a good deal. But... I'd rather choose a more standard (manual) Carrera 2 which is a lot less expensive and not slow by any means.

There are a lot of Porsche's that I like, but the 911's have always been some of my favorite Porsche models of all time

Is that 536 miles of range I see at 9:52? The fact that you can get that much performance and practicality at the same time is amazing.

The center lock wheels are definitely NOT faster than normal lug nuts or bolts. It’s a fairly involved process getting them on and off and torquing them properly, unless you have the $5,000+ HyTorq precision Porsche center lock gun that’s just now coming to market. And even with that tool it tightens the nut fairly slowly.

Kind of bizarre Doug never once said during the review what engine this has. It wasn’t until he did interior review and talked about the boost button that I realized it was a turbo engine. Wish he would be more descriptive and detail oriented. People who aren’t obsessed with 911 don’t know all the differences and might watch this to find out. In the cayman GTS means naturally aspirated with the GT4 engine. Wish he would just say this has the engine from the carerra
