Problems with New 991

[BIGJake111]

Agreed with perfect lap, that and the digital age finally taking total affect in pcars. Notice he has no issues with the engine, this was all to do with the excessive amounts of tech that they put in the cars these days that simply weigh the car down. Honestly he is getting better customer service than most would get from other companies though. Seems to be a domino affect as well. I would still be comfortable with a new car, but this shows what sort of negative affect all of the tech can have on the car. I remember when my father worked as a Mercedes service advisor, he would complain about the S Class because the car had so many ahead of the times electronics that no matter what the quality something was bound to go wrong.

If you look at his other videos, you will see that he had installed numerous aftermarket electrical components. Full stealth Escort radar detector with front and rear sensors, remote display and keypad, also two dash cams.
I'd be curious if there were any problems before he had all this work done. Although at this point I don't think he would admit it.

Unacceptable.

This is a $90-$100K car.

One of things you're paying for is customer service at a level way above the bar, not "somewhat" above the bar set by $20K-$40K mass produced commuter cars. When you pay first class you expect first class experience.

If people wanted to buy an over-priced luxury car with shoddy quality control sold by people who think they're doing you a favor he'd a just bought a Ferrari from the get go. Porsche is not Ferrari. More like the Lexus to VW. Except Lexus check their cars for leaks and footwell swimming pools.

Didn't say that. I said Porsche are (now) just the fancy branch of the VW parent company.

But if I were to compare Lexus customer service to Porsche, Lexus takes that one easy as their cars are actually driven.... every day.

Porsche has always been known as the Daily super car.

Cayenne owners would like a word with you.


All other Porsche models record far less mileage than the competing luxury cars typically found in the top JD Power rankings.
The Cayenne (the only real 'daily' Porsche) owner experience is not winning any awards...

In comparison to a camry that commutes every day, yes the porsche gets less miles. But a 911 turbo owner is much more likely to drive it daily than an avnetador owner.
Panameras are driven on a daily basis. Many of the boxster owners here drive their cars daily, then again as i say this mine hasnt been out since last thursday haha.
