Curious which 991 you drove? The GTS, GT3 and even the T are all rock solid. The rest are pretty mundane IMO.
But haven't you heard? The 911 is now a Panamera coupe and the Cayman is the new 911.
You should give the GT4 a shot. |
Drove a GTS and S 991. Wasn't impressed with the way the steering felt and how easy it was drive them. Kind of took all the edge away. Over-refined IMO. For a 911 it felt too luxurious and refined. I've driven 964s, 993s, 996s, and 997s all of which were a much more enjoyable driving experience.
Electronically assisted everything didn't help. I also think the 911 has sort moved more mainstream as a line; so they are compromising more on every front.
Would love to try out a GT4 or even a GT3 but haven't had the opportunity to.
My opinions are based off my experience driving older Porsches. Of course I still think the 911 (991) is/was an elite sports car but as far as 911s go it was by far the least favourite of mine. I don't get the hype about them at all...
