  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Excellent - sharper than 911 (and I have driven a 991) but not as 'planted'. Suprising thing is that the chassis could take more pwer but I suspect Porsche won't be doing that as they want to keep the more powerful engines for the Carrera.

    What's it like to park?

    A nightmare - don't buy it without park assist.

    No

    What's most practical about your car?

    Surprising amount of luggage space for a sports car - far more than in a Jaguar F type or Aston Martin Vantage.
