What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 992-generation 911 remains one of the best sports cars, superbly fast and poised yet usable every day, with a beautifully built cabin; the hybrid GTS is judged a strong addition. Common criticisms are a firm ride and plenty of road noise; evo found early cars bigger and less exploitable than before, and What Car? wanted more feedback through the steering.
