A TikTok user was loaned a Porsche 911 Targa for three days by the company, and he quickly fell in love with it.
TikTokker Tomi, AKA @tomiauto, posted a video on the social media site describing how he felt about the 992.2 Carrera GTS Targa.
It was clear that he loved it, and he also compared it to his own 911 GT3 RS.
While he only had the car for a few days, that was enough for the Porsche to leave a lasting impression on the TikTokker.

Tomi was full of praise for the Porsche 911 Targa
The 911 Targa is a folding-roof version of the car, and in its shade of blue, looked the part.
It has four seats, and Tomi described the supercar as very comfortable compared to his 911 GT3 RS.
He then drove the cars back-to-back to compare them.
@tomiauto Testing it for the next few days. What do you want to know? My first experience with Porsche Targa, and I love it 😭

In Tomi’s opinion, the Targa was much better suited to daily driving and grand touring.
The seats alone left such an impression that he wants to option his next Porsche with them.
Porsche loaned the hybrid version to Tomi.
He described it as spooling up nearly instantly, thanks to the electrical power.

Tomi praised the design of the new convertible 911
The TikTok user also praised the design of the new 911 Targa.
The front has new fins that make it much more aggressive, while the rear has also undergone a redesign.
With his love on show, Tomi has promised his followers more content is coming on the car in the next few days.
He was most impressed by the convertible roof itself – and the mechanism for folding and unfolding it.
The roof gracefully folds forward, with the rear glass pane hoisting up to allow the roof to unfold or tuck away.
As far as Tomi is concerned, the only disadvantage is the wind noise you get with the roof folded down.
It is clear from the video, however, that it doesn’t bother him one bit.
He did say that his GT3 RS is on another level.
But for comfortable, daily cruising, it looked as if the Targa quickly won him over.
