A sad sad video

It's a shame he chose to have the roof and the windows closed. My favorite sound isn't so much the exhaust, but the air intake over my left shoulder with the top open and the windows down. Until I've heard the 718 myself from that position I'll reserve judgement.

Agreed, He complains about the sound then drives with the cabin sealed tight? He is another pompous ass British auto 'expert'. I'm really tired of hearing that the sound is the only draw back for the 718. If that is the case they have done a bang up job. If everthing else is 100% then nit picking about the sound is just that, nit picking.

PS . . I do love the sound of my '03 S regardless!

Yes, sound does play an important part in the overall driving experience, but so does the power and the handling, and there doesn't seem to be any doubt that this car moves. So maybe the sound isn't as good as it was - Porsche has upped the anti when it comes to handling and performance, making this a fantastic drivers car.
Besides, I would argue Porsches have never been built to be LOUD - they save that for all those American muscle cars that end up in a tree when they try to take a corner.
