this is a Porsche 911 996 it's actually00:00:03
my very own 996 and I'm gonna review it00:00:05
yes and then took you around the design00:00:07
show you inside check out its00:00:10
practicality there's not much of it and00:00:11
take you for a drive the Porsche 911 99600:00:15
was first released in 1998 and it was00:00:17
very controversial it's the first 91100:00:19
not to be air called it was war called00:00:21
whoo also it didn't have the classic00:00:24
round head lap design got this weird00:00:26
kind of sweeping shape which was00:00:28
inspired by a Porsche race car now00:00:30
originally the car had amber headlights00:00:32
it's just like on the Boxster but they00:00:34
want to differentiate the car from the00:00:35
Boxster so they made it clear in the00:00:38
year 2000 Porsche released the Carrera 400:00:40
so the four-wheel-drive version before00:00:42
also came with poor stability management00:00:44
and easkey control this early 3.4 has no00:00:47
driver's aids at all apart from ABS it's00:00:49
just you your skill back there of and00:00:51
then you get from its hires also in 200000:00:53
the turbo is released now that used a00:00:55
different engine rather than this new00:00:57
m96 built specifically for the new 99600:01:00
it used the old mix cur racing bred00:01:03
engine which had been in previous 911 so00:01:05
that had 420 horsepower and all-wheel00:01:08
drive00:01:09
operated brakes and suspension as well00:01:11
as a turbo you could also get a gt300:01:13
version of the 996 so that use the same00:01:15
3.6 liter engine but it was naturally00:01:18
aspirated and pumped out 360 horsepower00:01:21
which is good for naught to 60 in under00:01:23
five seconds now in 2002 the facelift00:01:25
version of this car came out and also00:01:27
with that a gt3 version which had 38000:01:30
horsepower this time in 2002 Porsche00:01:33
also released a Carrera 4s model so that00:01:36
used the body of the turbo but without00:01:37
the rear air intakes in other turbos00:01:40
brakes the turbo suspension but he used00:01:42
the 3.6 naturally aspirated m96 engine00:01:45
now the 996 didn't just share its head00:01:48
lap design with the Box stayed also00:01:49
shared his bonnet its wings00:01:51
it's rinse cream its doors in fact the00:01:54
whole front part of the car including00:01:55
the inside was shared with the Boxster00:01:58
that's one of the ways that Porsche was00:01:59
able to save itself you know it wasn't00:02:01
profitable so it needed to cut cost and00:02:03
it did that by spreading the cost of00:02:04
development of the 911 and the Boxster00:02:06
across all those sales obviously the big00:02:09
difference between the Boxster and the00:02:10
911 a puff in fact that the 911 has a00:02:12
roof is that we00:02:13
the 911 the engine is slung out beyond00:02:16
the rear axle its rear engine always has00:02:18
been I always will be00:02:20
god damn it now the engine is actually00:02:22
the same as in the Box are pretty much00:02:23
in the boxer it's 2.5 liters when it was00:02:25
first released in this it was bored out00:02:27
to 3.4 liters00:02:30
now this engine puts out 296 horsepower00:02:33
in 2000 there's a bit of an upgrade and00:02:36
he put out 300 horsepower and in 200200:02:39
they changed the engine the standard00:02:40
Carrera from a 3.4 boring out again to00:02:43
become a 3.6 they also added mario cam00:02:46
plus so you got variable valve lift as00:02:48
well as timing so a bit more torque in00:02:50
the mid-range and the power increased to00:02:52
315 horsepower alright let's talk about00:02:55
the design of the 996 very very00:02:56
controversial because of those lights00:02:58
but actually I like them and I prefer00:03:00
the first gen lights than the gentoos00:03:02
they're just working better with the00:03:03
lines in the bonnet I also like the00:03:05
narrow body of the Carrera 2 the later00:03:07
4s it is kind of cool but this and it's00:03:10
spelt and sleek about this design by a00:03:13
chap called pinky leh and criticized at00:03:16
the time but I think it's quite timeless00:03:18
actually best angle of it is the rear00:03:21
3/4 the lines just work and the back00:03:24
ends just about wide enough without00:03:26
being a fatass here on the inside the00:03:29
996 is a complete departure to all 911s00:03:32
before it the dash is all swoopy and00:03:36
actually it was originally designed for00:03:39
the 993 but portion have enough money00:03:41
back then to put it into production so00:03:43
the interiors actually design in the00:03:44
early 90s and eventually they went to00:03:47
put it into the 996 in terms of the00:03:49
design of the center console here this00:03:51
is two-tone but you could get it as just00:03:53
all one color glad it's not because of00:03:56
the color of this car so it's unusual00:03:59
it's called Savannah beige some people00:04:01
absolutely hate it I like light00:04:04
interiors but there is something kind of00:04:06
old Mannion cigarette smoking about it00:04:09
although this car hasn't been smoked in00:04:10
as a smell of cigarette smoke that's all00:04:12
some of the other colors are quite weird00:04:14
you can get a terracotta which I also00:04:15
like and then you can get a weird green00:04:18
colour mmm there's a blue which is00:04:20
alright a grey I'm not so sure about the00:04:23
grey black even goes for black bits too00:04:25
predictable I want a nice long00:04:27
color which made the car feel airy but00:04:30
yet it is an acquired taste though I do00:04:32
think it goes well with the blue paint00:04:35
there are characteristic Porsche styles00:04:37
they're really really clear I love the00:04:39
fact you've got the big sensual rev00:04:40
counter got a speedo in there just below00:04:42
with digital counter on it and then00:04:45
you've got your miles per hour to the00:04:46
left with weird increments very posh on00:04:49
the right you've got your temperature00:04:50
gauge if your gauge your oil pressure00:04:53
gauge that's important and then your00:04:55
battery charge level as well and some00:04:57
warning lights below it all very clean00:04:59
and easy to see this particular car has00:05:01
got the aluminium doors you'd normally00:05:03
get them in black the Gentoo cars which00:05:05
came out in 2002 of a slightly different00:05:07
dull design larger digital displays with00:05:11
more information being shown but00:05:13
generally it's a 7 I love the fact that00:05:15
you can actually see all the dials to00:05:17
the steering wheel no messing about00:05:19
speaking of the steering wheel this is a00:05:20
three spoke version but you could get a00:05:22
four spoke version which I didn't like00:05:23
that was on early cars not a fan of that00:05:26
the layout is actually really clean00:05:28
previous on Elevens before this car were00:05:30
kind of a bit of a mess with buttons all00:05:32
over the place but Toyota are involved00:05:34
in the manufacture of this car so they00:05:36
actually worked as consultants to pause00:05:38
to improve their production process so00:05:39
they could be profitable but also00:05:41
clearly helped with the layout of the00:05:42
interior of the car because it's dead00:05:44
simple you've got your locking there you've got00:05:47
your rear screen heating you've got your00:05:49
rear screen wiper there there's your00:05:51
climate control all in one pot there00:05:53
that's what the radio sits below it now00:05:54
I've got an aftermarket system because I00:05:56
wanted Bluetooth and I wanted digital00:05:58
radio as well I've still got the00:06:00
original blueprint but yeah it's not00:06:03
that great you could get an upgraded00:06:04
system a bose system which meant that00:06:06
you actually had a slightly larger unit00:06:08
and it was moved below now this car so00:06:11
oh look it's got the tapes look at that00:06:13
places for your tapes slightly lighter00:06:15
cars from about 2000 had to see these00:06:18
sliders in there and then there's a00:06:19
little space down there as well in fact00:06:22
I'm quite a few cars they flip where the00:06:23
air-conditioning is and this sound00:06:25
system depending on if you've got that00:06:27
upgraded sound system there's a little00:06:28
switch just down by your right foot00:06:30
which you can press and it'll raise the00:06:31
rear spoiler so you can clean it while00:06:33
it's stationary in terms of the rest of00:06:34
the layout of the switches you've got00:06:35
your lights here there's where your key00:06:38
goes to start the car then you've got00:06:40
indicator stalks and then you wouldn't00:06:42
scream wipers there's a vanity mirror00:06:45
there's one for the passenger as well00:06:48
and your lights appear huge rear view00:06:50
mirror and the view at the back actually00:06:52
is really good because you've got a big00:06:55
rear screen get great view at the back00:06:57
and look even if I sit up straight there00:06:59
is a lot of headroom in here so if00:07:00
you're totally fine now you can check00:07:02
the seat but it's on some kind of a lot00:07:03
hydrate Ramzi get high lower and you can00:07:09
slide it quite a way back so the00:07:11
American Eagle small you'll be fine in00:07:12
this car the backrest as standard is00:07:15
electrically operated there you can get00:07:18
hardback sport seat so these are the00:07:20
standard seats they're called tombstone00:07:21
seats because of the shape of them the00:07:23
whole back sport seats are nicer they00:07:24
they're a bit wider at the top and they00:07:27
just hold your body a bit better and as00:07:29
the name suggests they have a whole back00:07:30
so they look a bit more sporty so all in00:07:32
all a nice car easy to find an ideal00:07:34
driving position lots of adjustment in00:07:37
the steering wheel it'll move for me00:07:39
come on doesn't go up or down though00:07:41
just in or out in terms of the quality00:07:43
well in the UK the cars had fallen over00:07:45
so there's leather everywhere all over00:07:48
the place and it's it's alright leather00:07:50
it's not the finest in the world but it00:07:53
but it's ok and there's a modicum of00:07:56
practicality so door bins look at that00:07:59
there were decent size and they shut00:08:02
you've also got a little storage area00:08:04
just under there as well there's some00:08:07
storage here if you have the Bose00:08:10
upgrade the sound system me that's when00:08:12
the speakers go so by not having it00:08:14
you've got a bit more storage which00:08:15
obviously I like this is a weird thing00:08:18
on the early generation cars look the00:08:21
cup holder yeah this is just so odd so00:08:26
the cup holder actually fits in a slot00:08:29
where the air vent is so you just slot00:08:31
that in there not uh and then you put00:08:33
your drink in there00:08:34
and it's then cooled by the vents and00:08:37
the air conditioning later cars the00:08:39
facelift you press a button there and00:08:40
they pop out much better but hey there00:08:43
we go if you open the door you can then00:08:45
operate the release for the front boot00:08:48
or for the engine bay cover like that on00:08:52
later cars they have00:08:54
electrical switches the problem was00:08:56
though is if your battery went flat you00:08:59
couldn't open the boot so you'd have to00:09:00
connect them via a fuse down there00:09:02
another thing that's on this car is a00:09:04
little space here which i think is for00:09:05
the manual but yeah I don't put the00:09:09
manual in there because it doesn't fit00:09:10
notes on Porsche also just down here by00:09:13
the passenger seat there's room for a00:09:15
little portion Briella which has gone00:09:16
from this car which is a shame00:09:18
there is no glovebox on this though no00:09:20
plug box at all you get them on the gent00:09:23
in cars but for some reason they didn't00:09:25
put them on the 3.4 probably the same00:09:27
thing with the cupholders really oh well00:09:29
yeah other than that it's all quite00:09:33
spacious good visibility nice so then00:09:37
here in the rear of the 911 it's not a00:09:39
great place to be never has been and00:09:40
never will be00:09:41
even the very latest ones which are00:09:43
quite a lot bigger than this car so00:09:45
first thing is Headroom no yeah there's00:09:48
no good no good at all and if I pull the00:09:52
seat back I have to go legs akimbo to be00:09:56
able to do anything I do have a seatbelt00:09:58
though so you could go somewhere legally00:10:02
in it but you won't want to go far00:10:04
especially because the seat base is00:10:06
super hard and the back is upright and00:10:08
it's a cramped but unlike a box for you00:10:10
can give to people a lift in the back00:10:12
which is quite handy also what's hand is00:10:16
this you can fall down the rear seatback00:10:20
so you can use this area for carrying00:10:24
stuff like golf clubs or whatever you00:10:26
need to you're not to lift at this00:10:28
carpet actually there we go to get to00:10:33
the rear shock absorbers hand if you got00:10:36
adjustable ones like I have anyway let's00:10:39
put this back and I'll show you the rest00:10:41
of the practicality in the front boot00:10:45
exciting so here we have the front for00:10:47
the 99600:10:48
you'll understand that if you're00:10:50
American if not it's a front boot00:10:51
shortened to fruit if you're British so00:10:54
it's quite deep but to make the most the00:10:57
space you're going to have to use soft00:10:58
bags to squeeze everything in there and00:11:00
if you do you probably got enough room00:11:01
for a week away for two of you there's00:11:03
also the spacesaver spare wheel in there00:11:05
and integrated into that is it00:11:07
all kit and the jack you've got your00:11:09
brake fluid there your batches under00:11:11
there there's your filler over there for the00:11:13
windscreen wash no light there and I've00:11:15
got a CD Auto changer which I do not use00:11:18
and over here is some silicon spray00:11:20
that's really good to spray where the00:11:23
interior trim meets because sometimes00:11:25
you get squeaks and that just gets rid00:11:26
of it completely00:11:27
I'll do the obvious test for the boot00:11:29
I'm going to climb into it so look you00:11:33
can see that it's actually quite a00:11:35
reasonable size the 99 six is a super00:11:40
easy car to drive in town so the00:11:43
steering it's not too heavy the gear00:11:45
change as well that's not bad it's quite00:11:48
a long throw and you can feel the00:11:50
mechanicals inside it but it's nice and00:11:52
light the only thing is a brake so if00:11:54
you come out have like a normal00:11:55
hatchback they do need a bit of a prod00:11:58
to actually work then there's a turning00:12:01
circle so that's good luck it's quite00:12:05
good and maneuverable this car I think00:12:07
that's best about it though is the sheer00:12:09
visibility so the dash is quite low and00:12:15
you can see the corners of the wings00:12:17
which is great yeah the backs brilliant00:12:19
as well00:12:20
the pillars aren't too far it's a small00:12:23
little car it's very very easy to drive00:12:27
what's not to like00:12:41
so this is what the 911 is all about a00:12:43
twisty road and here it absolutely00:12:47
excels the first thing that stands out00:12:49
is a steering there's nothing like you00:12:51
today so this is hydraulically assisted00:12:53
and it's so so good so pure you can feel00:12:58
the road to the wheel it's it's lovely00:13:02
and it's kind of slow compared to modern00:13:07
steering systems on the first bit of00:13:08
turn look but it happens but then as00:13:10
you're turning in you feel so much in it00:13:12
it all just waits up and it's just so00:13:15
natural I absolutely adore it I also00:13:18
like the pedal position because it makes00:13:20
heel and tone just did easy the00:13:23
gearshift is like I said it's long but00:13:26
it's it's very accurate and it's nice00:13:30
the kids are slot into place you know I00:13:33
think a car like this has a heavy clutch00:13:35
but it doesn't say it's easy just whip00:13:37
between the ratios key thing though of00:13:40
course with a 911 is the location of the00:13:41
engine in the very back so you have to00:13:45
change your driving style slightly it's00:13:47
prone to understeer because it just00:13:51
wants to push on with an engine at the00:13:52
back and not too much weight on the nose00:13:53
so you have to brake quite hard into a00:13:55
corner to get the weight over the nose00:13:57
and then power out of it so you've got00:14:00
really good traction as the ancien00:14:03
pushes down on the back wheels and00:14:04
drives you out one thing you don't wanna00:14:06
do this car though is change your mind00:14:08
so set it up this already gonna do I00:14:11
just do it and it will grip and go round00:14:13
if you bow low though no liftoff it can00:14:16
get a little bit kind of snappy00:14:19
and it's a short car that way at the00:14:22
back and once it loses traction the00:14:23
backings turning or rotates on you and00:14:26
you have know what you're doing to catch00:14:27
it finally though let's talk about the00:14:29
engine so this 3.4 it's pretty Revie00:14:33
starts putting its power down around00:14:35
3,000 RPM lots of talk but then it keeps00:14:39
on revving the railing the revving of00:14:41
revving go00:14:44
it's a prising how quick it is and the00:14:46
sound is also moving around in a 911 it00:14:50
gives you so many thrills you probably00:14:53
won't dream does this feel fast to me00:14:54
obviously I Drive high-performance cars00:14:56
part of my job but it does in fact I00:14:59
think it's a perfect balance of enough00:15:02
performance and grip for the road I00:15:04
really really do you don't need to be00:15:07
faster than this it really is a good00:15:09
front car if you're fed up of00:15:13
turbocharged cars and how easy they are00:15:16
to drive and how little you feel from00:15:18
them00:15:19
get yourself an old 911 aizen 99600:15:24
[Music]00:15:30

good do it it's enoughDescription:
Is the Porsche 911 996 the best value used sports car you can buy? A decent one can be had for around £15,000 and in this video I explain the model range and review my very own 996. This is the car which was built from 1998 until 2004 and was the very first 991 to be water cooled not air cooled.I will be doing another video on problems I've had with my car and things to look out for. But this video is all about what the actual car is like. Please make sure you are subscribed to this channel.... and can you spot the mistake in the video towards the end? I thought I'd leave it in as an easter egg. And it's there because I actually shot and edited this video all on own!
