The 997 Porsche 911 Turbo in manual has always been a bucket list car for me to own, yet I sold mine less than a year after buying it. What gives?

Well, watch this video and you'll find out. While there’s so much to be impressed by with the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo, especially a coupe in manual, there are also some real downsides to this car that got in the way of my really being able to enjoy the ownership experience.

Frankly, it just really didn't deliver, and as a result I sold my Guards Red 997 Porsche 911 Turbo in 6 speed manual inside of 6 months...at a financial loss!

1995 Porsche 911 993 Coupe in polar silver
