He does some good reviews, just that if the seats don't come in animal free it wont be his choice. A subject mentioned in all of his reviews. LOL

I like him as well ... definitely don't like that pastel green, Mamba looks much better.

Very good review, although I suspect a lot of the GTS frat boys wont think so. Basic gist (turn away now if you don't want to see the results) is that the acceleration difference on normal roads is hardly noticeable between the S and the GTS, and while it is more noticeable on the twisties its certainty not night and day. His recommendation is still buy the S, as long as you are sensible with the options list.

Bearing in mind what I said in a previous post about us all choosing reviews that fit our own world view, however, just because I think this is a good and fair review doesn't mean others will. It is, aftercall, just one other persons opinion. And the lack of difference may also be because the S he drove also had air, 21inch wheels and ceramic brakes.

If I want to carry on the tradition of PCCB on my Porsche’s then it has to be the GTS according to the configurator…..

I'm not poo pooing his review !! It's that the reviews were carried out days apart, he obviously drove other cars in between, used no machinary or test equipment, and not tested side by side, until that happens we will not know. But the S does come totally animal free was my point. LOL

You can spec PCCBs on the S too. :geek:

Will watch this later
Genuinely though, I don’t like his reviews at all and his communication in English can get confusing. Which is fine I guess because it’s not his native tongue.

In general I’ve never liked his reviews, prefer others like: straight pipes, Doug Demuro, the chap that does the auto trader video reviews, remove before race and Harry’s garage. All much better than this fella
