My first “experience” of 911s was my older brother telling me about his friend who graduated college with him. This friend was a business major who thought the first thing to do was buy a Porsche! This was in 1964, I was 12, and the Porsche was a 911. I don’t know much else, but that he liked the car, a lot! That kind of turned me on to cars, and the nicer tools in particular (no Porsches yet)!

This video brought me joy. I own an '88 911 and despite having many hours in the driver seat, I still enjoy watching other people drive theirs and enjoy all the same things I love about mine. It's a truly unique and special driving experience.

@tomm_d Місяць тому

My dad had Porsches as I was growing up, a 72 911T and then some 944s. I remember how different the view was out of the 944 windshield, it seemed that the front of the car was missing, I was so used to seeing the 911 headlight bumps. I was nostalgic for an air cooled 911 as an adult so I bought an 89 3.2 Carrera a few years ago before the prices skyrocketed. All original, 55k documented miles. Absolutely no regrets.

@robertwalls5794 Місяць тому

I love my guards red 1985 coupe. It was always my dream car and I managed to buy one about 12 years ago when the prices were low. Fun to drive, reliable, and gets good gas mileage. I also enjoy people's reactions to it. Always get thumbs up and folks wanting to chat and take pics when I drive her.

@coolhandchunk Місяць тому

Absolute dream car... impact bumpers and all. I had a poster of this car (actually a SC) on my wall all through my childhood and teenage years.... can't even count the number of nights i fell asleep staring at that poster. One day....

@sk8absence Місяць тому

My dad had an 80's SC targa when I was a little kid- I spent many Sunday mornings as a young kid in that car and I miss absolutely everything about it. The airy engine sound, the smell of the oil and gas on startup, the smell of the leather and sound deadening materials inside, the THUNK of the door, the funky door open BZZZZZZZZZZZ, everrry little thing

@susannero6401 Місяць тому

Like you i have an '88, but completely stock like this one. Alot of things you said resonate with me: the ideal size and view out, and the Toyota-like reliability (seriously). The G-50 is definitely long-legged; 2nd is equivalent to 3rd in, say, a Ferrari 328. The pedal box is adjustable, so these are actually ideal for heal and toe. One of the main selling points for me is that post-'76 911s are fully galvanized, so it's like having a 60's/'70's era car without having to worry about rust. They also get excellent gas mileage for an old sportscar: 30mpg hwy. I've put 40K miles on mine and it has never let me down. I use it for city driving and long-distance road trips. The only disadvantage is that they've become crazy expensive.

I’m shopping for my first 911 now, so these videos are extremely helpful! Have been a @tedward fan for years now! The biggest issue in searching for one is access to examples to drive. And, actually having to choose ONLY ONE, which you get into here. Keep them coming!

@timmusick9875 Місяць тому

Your videos and impressions (and beautiful countryside) are always enjoyable. It should be pointed out though (ask any old Porsche mechanic) that the '87 to '89 911 with the G50 is the most reliable, trouble free aircooled 911 of all time. There were issues before that and after that but they are the sweet spot. And be careful with that trail breaking, they're not as accepting of it as the BMW's of the time with 50-50 weight distribution.

@JJFlores197 Місяць тому

14:56 - yep. I'm not a car enthusiast but I have driven my dad's 1971 Datsun pickup truck and it is a raw driving experience. It has no P/S, no A/C, a thin steering wheel and no modern amenities. You can feel every little bump and imperfection on the road. Its quite a noisy ride but it is definitely fun and engaging. The only thing I would like it to have would be A/C as that would make it more comfortable to drive during the summer.

I have an 89 cab. You ended up touching on everything I love about it. The G50, the tactile nature, the handling, the fact that it’s plenty quick even in today’s driving world. I thought you weren’t going to mention the left side exhaust and the glorious sound you get off the barriers. And then you did. Then I thought I was going to tell you that you overlooked the seats, and then in the epilogue, you did. Great review, as always.

@Adison0529 Місяць тому

Judging by this video it feels buttery smooth to drive, I hope it feels the same to actually drive it. It's like this is as smooth as it can get in such a mechanical car without the intervention of plenty of electronics, if that makes sense. The downshift from 3rd to 2nd around 18m mark as you exited the highway was sooooooo satisfying, on the video it felt like a perfect shift. Timeless piece of art and this paint job is one of the best suited for this car imo. Although the spec of yours feels like the one I'd rather go with if I could choose, I hope I'll own any 964 in near future. Such a fantastic car, thanks for the longer video with this one. ❤

Tedward, this is my high school lust object in car form. Unadorned, NA engine, and light for a 911. Take away things and leave a simple platform that is good as a daily or for some lightweight track work. There is a secondary industry for modding and repairing 911s into any number of desires. That would not easily occur with a car built today.

@grumpy9478 Місяць тому

a somewhat overlooked aspect of the rear engine + transaxle layout is the more efficient power transfer & lightness (no lengthy driveshaft. another (you alluded to) is the greater braking performance. Porsche has always had an edge vs traditional layout competition because their cars are lighter (relatively), have great traction under braking, and more balanced braking control. the "giant killers" of yore became core to production design & engineering. all from the old man's P-Wagens & KdF-Wagen.

Hi Tedward, I discovered your channel long time ago and have followed it since then. I really enjoy your videos (especially the Porsche ones). You have a nice camera placement, good picture & sound quality and often drive a lovely scenic route that kind of remind me of my home area here in Scandinavia. Also your selection of test cars is really nice going from Citroen 2CV to very expensive sport cars. In my youth I owned a 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe with Club Sport suspension and 8 & 9x16 Fuchs plus a backdated exhaust. Every time you post a Porsche video I miss that car. Had it for over 7 years and loved it. Thanks for all the nice videos and keep up the good work.

@roystrandberg2091 29 днів тому

For a long time this model 911 was my dream car. Back in my 30s seemed semi attainable at some point. By the time I got to a point in life where a toy car was doable, price and availability of these had changed a lot, and not in my favor. So, 20 yrs later I ended up picking up a 997, which is a great car. Ironically, picking up one of the g-series cars may have been a decently smart financial decision.

@marial8235 Місяць тому

When I was a kid I remember how a Porsche from this era with a Whale tale used to park near my house. All of the kids thought it was really ugly.😂😂😂. Now I look at this one and it’s so dainty and pretty.❤

@Eatinbritches 22 дні тому

My first experience in a sports car was in exactly one of these, same year... I was 3. I fit in the back, and was actually comfortable. Even more, the purring from the engine behind put me to sleep! On the way up to visit grandma in the southern interior of BC. It makes sense. This car, in this state, is totally road trip material. Would happily drive that cross country.

@BT-zw2ix 6 днів тому

Back in the 80s, many 911 owners crashed them because of the imbalanced center of gravity due to the rear engine design. One of the tricks Porsche used to fix the issue was to put counter weight blocks of steel to the front of the car.

@thejoebeanbandandfriends-h5010 26 днів тому

Nice review, yours looks good without that goofy stand up 3rd brake light. Those 80s Porsches were built like a tank. I bought an 87 in red with the sport package? or I forget what they called it but it had the front and rear spoiler, 16" Fuchs and leather seats. It used with 100K miles but in great shape other than the clutch slave and a sunroof cable. I loved the torquey engine, it was a pleasure to drive. I later bought an 82 930 and it was fun but I missed the 5 speed and the low end torque of the 3.2. Fun cars, for sure... I would have kept it had I known the prices would go through the roof.
