Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspected cause
Probably the best entry level exotic next to an NSX.
Leading evidence: 'best entry level exotic next' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'best entry level exotic next' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it).

but that change has come with experience with the car.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Of course! Yes, if I had a bit more money (haha), I think I’d trade my Carrera in for one. Here’s the thing though, they are getting on for twice the price of my car and I’m not convinced they are twice the car. Hmm. Maybe.
If the driver is so worried about blowing up the engine and not being able to afford to fix it, why buy the car in the first place? Do routine maintenance and you should alleviate that problem by catching anything before it gets critical.

His prerogative. We all have different budgets.
I admit it was one of my fears before buying the car... 5 years later I'm not nearly as worried as I was going into it (as a 30 year old)... but that change has come with experience with the car. He doesnt have that same experience.
Another excellent video Jay. It was most enjoyable. One minor slip- you forgot to mention that the 996 Cab could be ordered with a removable hard top.
In my opinion you are going to see 996s really appreciate in value in the not too distant future.

Yeah, I think these guys are idiots... At one point the guys says the car is "dated" and feels like a "90s car", a minute later he's saying it's "timeless" - c'mon man - choose. The test car looks like a great example, I can't imagine it feels scary at 80 mph - mine certainly doesn't get me a little sweaty until 150+. They trash-talk the interior saying it has a lot of plastic - really? They said there is not as much "feel" as a modern car - are you kidding me? Mine feels like a go-cart all the time - I haven't driven another car that feels like that - new or old. Seats? OK, maybe that one was right.

You make some good points, too. These guys dont really drive fast cars, they do stuff like s2000s, FRSs, and miatas. Lol. Different world as you well know.... regarding the interior, it's clear these guys arent familiar with the different options bc my car has OEM mostly leather and carbon fiber - not palstic.
The interior is nice but def cheap and lots of hard plastics covered in leather. The plastic interior bits suck. Having taken apart many interiors, it is pretty cheap for a 6 figure car.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
