Jakub from TheStraightPipes reviews the 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet as a practical yet thrilling daily driver. He walks through a typical workday, highlighting the car’s versatility—from commuting in traffic and grabbing coffee to cruising with the top down. The valved exhaust provides an engaging soundtrack, while the convertible top and rear wind deflector make open-air driving comfortable even in cold weather, though it lacks an air scarf.
The cabin is user-friendly, featuring large buttons, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 360° cameras, and supportive optional seats. On the highway, adaptive cruise control aids long commutes, while the PDK eight-speed gearbox shifts instantly. Sport and Sport Plus modes deliver exhilarating crackles, pops, and turbo spool, making daily drives fun without sacrificing practicality.
Performance is strong: 473 hp and 420 lb-ft from a 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six, 0–60 mph in the low threes, all-wheel-drive traction, and sharp handling from turbo-derived suspension and optional PDCC. The frunk and limited rear seating allow light errands or a child seat. Jakub concludes the GTS Cabriolet balances everyday usability with Porsche excitement, though a manual gearbox might enhance engagement for purists.
