I bought a Porsche 911

Holy.

Everyone.

So it's Christmas morning.

Right now it's quite

hazy, quite foggy, which is quite nice.

In Dubai.

Weather is amazing.

It's like 20 degrees, 22

degrees, something like that.

Merry Christmas to anyone

who celebrates, obviously.

I'm hoping

I get this out on Christmas Day

so that you guys can see it.

Anyway, I wanted to share

what I just recently bought.

I have bought a Porsche.

My friend's Porsche is back

there as well.

But yeah, I have bought a Porsche.

Um, not something I was actually fully

expecting to do, but, yeah, I did it.

Uh, let's go through the car.

And I'll also share my reasoning

as to why I bought this over so,

so much other choices

that there are other.

As you can see, I've got it in silver GT

Silver specifically,

I would usually avoid silver cars,

but I really do think that GT

silver suits

a 911 like perfectly.

It's like the perfect colour.

This is a career.

As I was looking at it.

Yes, but it was just I couldn't

find one that I liked

and there are a lot more expensive.

I was happy to spend the money,

but I just couldn't

find one that I liked.

This though, is as close to a genius

as you can get in terms of styling

because it has the sport design package.

So round the front

you can see the black lip.

It has the black grille,

the slatted grille,

and it has the black side skirt

and also has four go around the back.

It also has the sport design

bumper on the back as well.

And yeah, I can't believe

I've bought a Porsche.

I actually love it already.

Like it's so fantastic.

I can see what people are saying

when it comes to Porsches.

Like it is the perfect

everyday sports car.

I mean, this isn't

sort of my everyday car.

I do still have a Tesla

for everyday driving, but

because this is so comfortable

as an everyday car, I have noticed that

I'm driving it a lot more than I would

if I were to like

when I had my Ferrari, for example.

I'm driving this a lot more.

Let's go through

the rest of the car.

So I have a set in black,

a wheels on it tonight.

If you guys can see that from that angle,

maybe I should go shoot from this angle

so that you guys can see.

And yeah,

I have a set in black wheels on it.

Sport design package, as I said,

and this has full piece

from the original owner.

I think.

So that was actually another reason

why I bought it, because it had full PPF

and it also has warranty

for another two years.

So I don't have to worry about

single thing if anything goes wrong with

this car has extended warranty,

it has the LED matrix

lights as well.

It has the sunroof,

but it's not the glass sunroof,

which I wish it did have.

I just have this sort of normal

metal wish.

It does open,

but I just have the normal motor.

I would have like the glass sunroof,

but hey, I'm buying a used car here.

I can't be too picky

and I have a bloody 911.

Like I'm lucky enough as it is.

Okay, so some people have just pulled up

to take a picture with their car,

with a nice car, which is super.

I'd

be so happy that

people are just friendly.

I think this anger right here

though, is the best angle of 911.

Like, there is something

very timeless

about this all back end

on 11.

It's just so good

look and it's a sexy look.

I'm not really sure

how else to say just looks so good.

Of course I have the sport exhaust.

You've got to have the sports

exhaust on on 911.

Like, it's crazy to me that people

purchase this car

without the sports exhaust.

Whoever spec this car

when they first bought it actually did

quite a good job.

There are a few things

that I'd probably spec differently,

like I said with the glass sunroof.

But yeah,

the gentleman who originally bought

this car did do a good job.

He basically just made it as close

to a gt's as possible.

This is a 2022 model.

So, you know, back then 2021, 2022

when he probably spectate

GTC would have been very hard to come by.

So I have a feeling

the person who bought this got

I think he wanted the DTS

and they couldn't get one,

so they got a courier.

S instead.

The other difference between a courier as

and a DTS is the ride height.

The Jesus is ten mil

lower in Dubai.

I probably would have be fine

with the lower ride height

because Dubai rides are really good,

but because this is ten

mil higher, it is more comfortable.

I actually drive recently

all the way down to Abu Dhabi,

did a quick

little sort of road trip for the day,

and it was super comfortable,

like in 140 kilometres an hour

the whole way.

National speed

and yeah,

I'll just stick it into cruise control.

And this is just like driving

any other car,

like it was super comfortable.

That's what really impressed me

most about this.

It can very much be used

as a daily car,

like it just is the perfect

daily sports car.

And I get why people say that

now is good looking though, isn't it

like Porsche have now

the design of the 990

if we go inside.

So I have the black interior

with the grey stitching.

Chalk stitching

has a nice Porsche

emblems on the headrest as well

and it has the grey

C pass the chalk C pass.

I think this is actually really well done

because it matches the exterior, the car

very minimal inside in black.

I mean, my dream interior is probably

the sort of brown heritage edition

that they do.

That interior is fantastic,

but that's obviously hard to come by.

So the black I think looks fantastic.

I also prefer

the leather over

race text, race, text.

I can understand it looks more sporty.

It feels more sporty,

but I prefer the leather.

The only thing I wish this did have,

and I've seen quite a few Porsches in

Dubai have is in the middle here

you'd have buttons for cooled

and heated seats.

I've seen quite a few cars

with cooled seats.

It would have been nice

to have cool seats in this for sure.

In the Dubai weather, obviously

you just make such

a big difference having cooled seats.

Yeah, the doors are pretty standard.

Nothing fancy that the original owner

didn't spec lack of colour on the door,

but I think that's fine

because I actually think it looks

better with the grey

and black is or blends in better.

Of course sport Chrono Pack

you can't have a 911

without the sport credit pack.

I also have,

if you guys can see down there,

I also have the fire extinguisher,

which I think is an odd option

to add to a clever s model.

But hey, it's pretty cool to have.

And then of course

we have the back seats as well,

which let's be honest,

no one's ever going to be

sitting in these back seats

because they are so tight.

I would actually maybe

prefer it without the back seats.

Just have it as just the carpet

so that I can put stuff back here

so that I can have a bit more space

for the backseat.

So in my living,

I think it's just quite funny really.

If we have a look at the trunk space,

which always surprises

me on these cars,

it surprised me

when I had my Ferrari as well.

The trunk space is just fine.

My plate up,

it's ginormous.

Like I could fit in

that it's actually

so big

it's quite impressive

and you could easily

fit like weekend away bags.

You could easily fit a suitcase in that.

Obviously not a larger case, but

I think you can fit to carry

ons in there. No problem.

So yeah, I'm really impressed

by the practicality.

And of course you have the back seat

so you can put stuff on the back seats

if you like as well.

I really do like this.

I will say this angle

just looks fantastic.

I'm half tempted to change

this red light here

to the

sort of smoked out clear one

because it's not that expensive to do.

I think it's like a $100, $1,000,

something like that,

which I think is too bad.

But yeah, I'm

just like looking at little things here.

It really is like fantastic looking.

Oh, just this angle.

Well, good looking car.

Well, just look at that.

S like that.

So I'm sure many of you will be

wondering, Hey, what happened to the far

right of the Ferrari that I actually sold

the Ferrari like earlier

this year before I moved to Dubai.

I couldn't ship the car to Dubai

because, of course, the steering wheel

is on the other side.

Dubai doesn't allow cars

that have steering

wheels on the other side.

And unless they're like super old,

basically, like past

like a certain time.

So yeah, like it just made sense

for me to sell the Ferrari.

And the Ferrari actually got bought

by Ferrari,

like I sold it back to Ferrari,

which is quite nice because it means

I hold a relationship with them.

I also,

I said to myself

that when I come to the buy, I will buy

another Ferrari, but

I just was myself Halo,

I can buy another Ferrari at any time.

Why not try a Porsche

like everyone keep saying.

Try also get a Porsche, try not 11.

And that's why I wanted to do.

I just thought, Hey, let's try 911.

I was actually looking for It's

going to sound insane.

I was actually looking for a GT3 toy.

GT3 is a great car.

I do think it's a bit overrated, but I.

Right.

It doesn't mean that I don't like it.

I think it's an amazing car, but

I do think the GT3 in general,

it's just like an overrated car.

Porsche have done a really good job of,

of like this of aura

and the marketing around the GT3

and I get it like people love the idea

of going to see three

or GTC Eyes and being like, Look,

I've got a track car

on the track, whatever,

but let's be honest,

most people who gets a GT3

do not go on the track

and it's why I wanted the GT3

touring specifically

just a classy looking car.

It's more of a road

course, it's a bit more comfortable,

but it has the engine of the T3 three

and all of the elements of the GT3.

But GT3 touring

is nearly impossible to find in Dubai.

Like I just can't find one.

Like I've been looking

ever since I moved.

And they're really, really hard to find.

I think I've only come across

one or two on sale

since I moved in March,

which is just one that like that

hard to find and the one or two, though

I found the specs

weren't really what I wanted.

One of them was a manual as well,

and I definitely want PDK manual.

Of course I can understand, but

like a PDK

for Dubai driving and traffic

just makes more sense for me

and I just prefer the comfort

and the ease of a PDK.

So usually I like to keep my sports cars

for around a year or two

and then switch to the next one

because obviously I'm in this phase

where like I can try

all different types of cars, so why not?

Why not try every type of sports car?

I want to try

every type of supercar that I can.

So that's exactly what I'm doing

just to see what I like most.

I'm sure I'm going to go back to Ferrari

at some point.

Ferrari for me, there's just something.

There's always just another level

compared to Porsche.

Some Porsche

people might not like me saying that,

but let's be honest,

Ferrari's another level.

But of course

a different price bracket

also comes with that.

Ferrari are usually

you're going to be

going to my video

they're going to be a lot of that

is going on a thoughtful rear

end going the other way

anyway back to Ferrari Ferrari's

in a different price bracket.

But what's funny

is that the amount

that I bought this for,

I can actually also buy another four

I could have bought for eight.

So in Dubai,

Porsches are actually more expensive

than they are in the UK.

So I paid quite a bit more than I would

for something like this

than I would in the UK.

I think in the UK I would have paid

a good 30 to $40000 less

and for a couple of grand more

I can get a for I have compared

to what I pay for this.

And it's just because

911's hold our values

so incredibly well

and they're very in demand in Dubai.

It seems like people love Porsches here.

They love Porsches here

more than most other types of cars.

So yeah, I think I've done a good job

getting this

because I've got this

for a very good price.

And like I said, it's got full PPF,

it's got warranty

for another two years.

And from looking at what

the first owner bought it for,

they really didn't

lose much money

over the last two or three years

that they've had this car, which is wild.

Like I expect also

not lose too much money.

But anyway, the money thing is one thing.

Enjoying the car is also

just as important.

It's an absolutely fantastic car

and it really is

like the everyday sports car, like

this is the perfect everyday sports car.

If you want a sports

car that you can drive

every single day, you want to commute,

see friends go out, whatever.

This is like the perfect car.

It really is.

It's so comfortable, so nice.

It's as easy to drive as any other car.

I'd say the Ferrari.

When I had the Ferrari,

that was a bit different.

The Ferrari wasn't as easy,

it was a bit more.

The Ferrari felt like

a bit of a lunatic of a car.

Like it just felt like it had

too much power

because it had 650,

660 horsepower to the back rows.

This has like 450 or something like that.

So a big difference in performance.

But the Ferrari like that thing

wouldn't grip and it was fun.

Like the Ferrari felt more,

more like a maniac car.

This feels a lot more refined,

a lot smoother,

a lot more under control.

And that's the best way I can explain.

It was also absolutely fantastic.

And Porsche have nailed It's

just the everyday comforts

like having Apple CarPlay

and they have buttons

like I have buttons, thank God.

Like they have buttons for the AC.

They have buttons for the volume

for navigating the menu

lock and navigate the menu.

With this,

I don't have to use the touchscreen

like I'm so glad

that they've actually

implemented this stuff with buttons

rather than everything touchscreen

because touchscreens

and stuff is nice

and you can get used to it.

But like buttons are just superior

like and I have obviously

a screen in my Tesla

and I'm used to it,

but I would definitely

always prefer buttons.

So I push.

I have just done

a really good job of everyday

sort of usability and comforts

and things.

It's a really good job, but

one thing they haven't done well,

I don't know if you guys can see this,

but from from my head angle.

So this is where I usually sit.

This is my view. Yeah.

You can't see that.

And dials like

you just can't see them.

They're completely blocked off.

So I think that is a bit of a

weird design

trait that they've implemented.

I think it would have been better

just to keep the three dials

and then have this style

and that dial over that

sort of in the corners

maybe or something like

it's yeah,

it's a bit odd

because when you're driving

you cannot see the two outdoors at all.

Steering wheel in

this is the full leather steering wheel

and yeah, I think it looks really good.

It's a nice shape, nice thickness,

you know what I mean?

And yes, what's going on down

there is nice as well.

And the buttons on the steering wheel.

Oh man, that's so nice and clicky.

It's just these sorts of everyday

things that really make

the usability of this car so perfect.

Okay, so this is actually going to be

my first time doing Launch Control

in this car.

Sounds good.

Where's my sunglasses?

I think my sunglasses that I got ready,

but I really need to reverse it

back, put it into sport mode as well.

But let's

let's bring it

into the middle of the road first.

Make sure everything is clear.

I'm hoping my camera doesn't fall over.

That's the main thing.

Otherwise,

that's not going to be ideal.

Put it into sport plus

so you match the throttle.

I mean, that's the brake.

Oh, my God.

Holy.

Oh, my God.

What the hell?

That sounds insane.

Oh, holy crap.

That was.

That was something

that was.

Oh, my God.

That was incredible.

I just.

Well, it was insane,

and it sounded so good

as well, you

know, it.
