Owners of 991's to Opine: is the pcar too big
#16
Big Changes for 992 ?
But the evident joy of driving and owning a 993 pcar is a statement for pushing the 992 slightly smaller, and a 964 Singer variants are even smaller again.
993 67.7" wide 991 71.2" 993 165.5" long 991 177.0"
The car has grown by 13.5% !! (only 5% in width)

Not talking about speed/acceleration performance?
I was referring to the tedency of a rear engine 911 to point in the wrong direction by the uninitiated...

Great Image BradB, and I understand the scale. Wow to the height of the bubble-butt 991. That could be a target of a redesign.
My roadtrips would not be as comfortable in a 993 as with my 997.2. Yet I can trust Porsche's engineering team to hold the volume down.

My Porsche 991 is the best one that have owned as a daily driver. It does so many things effortlessly.
It is certainly my favorite water-cooled 911.
I'd say my all-time favorite 911 are the long-wheel-base small bumper early 911's. Those are not comfortable on long trips.
I do miss the 1996 993. I wonder why I sold that car?

Fair enough

With the exception of the 996, older is typically cooler, even if performance is way lacking of even modest cars today. Over these two, I'd have the 993. I don't mind working for my supper.

I think the size of the 991.2 is perfect. Earlier models for me where ill fitting. I'm tall.
I think even the 991.1 was ill fit, the steering wheel would rub on my thighs (even putting the seat all the way down and the steering wheel up within reason making steering awkward.

That's interesting. Did the interior dimensions change from the 991.1 cars to the 991.2 cars? I thought they were identical.
FWIW, I'm 6'4" and I fit comfortably in the 991.1.
