2004 Porsche 911 consumer reviews

I spend about $1000-$2000 each year on maintenance. One may consider that high, but I purchased a 911 C4S car for $35,000; the MSRP was $93,000 in 2004. The vehicle has appreciated since 2019, and now, with such a detailed service history over the years, it could sell for $40,000. So you either pay in depreciation or maintenance, and though I may be a stickler for maintenance, it keeps the value stable. I could have gotten a new Camry for $35,000, but it would be worth about $15,000 now and less fun. Next car I will jump up to a 2012 to 2015 Porsche. You can't go wrong if you get the right model, rare options, and even rare colors. Number one is having complete maintenance records; don't buy one without them.

I’ve had my 2004 911 c4s for 3 years now and it’s perfect. No major issues or recalls, just have the ims bearing fixed and the car is solid. Drove the car in rain or shine and I didn’t notice any difference. That’s how well this car handles. Always proving the jdm crowd that theres Nothing better than Porsche’s German engineering.

This Porsche has been a joy to own and drive. I have an illness which is making it increasingly difficult to drive or I would not part with it.

This car is truly an engineering and design marvel. It looks, drives, accelerates, and handles like no other car in its class. The AWD option (911-4S) hugs the road and handles any & all weather conditions. This is your super sporty toy which is also your everyday car!

Car does 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds and handles like a dream but the best thing is comfort of the seats is second to none.

Waited a long time to own the car. Very satisfied with handling, performance, and style. Only negative is no ports for iPhone. Nothing compares to a German vehicle

Every weekend this car was an escape. Top down and cruising along the beach. Great looks great ride. It gave me 20 years of my youth back

The Porsche 996 is a terrific 911 with lots of feel and handling of the road. It has the enough new technology to make driving easier but enough lineage to give the Porsche driving experience. Nothing like a winding road to let the car straighten out the turns and growl through the shifting up and down. The older 911's are getting pricey so if you want a great car at good price don't be afraid to get into these model years. Plenty of enjoyment and still solid cars, and if you look at the lines of the 4S, it's as gorgeous as any Porsche made. Speculation is values will continue to rise in these overlooked gems. Go for it and enjoy the smiles per miles.

This verifies my conclusion that the 911 is slow and is of inferior quality compared to similarly priced sport cars. I would recommend the Cayman as it is lower priced and maintains momentum better than a 911 due to it mid-engine design.

Nothing better than German performance. PORSCHE THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.Best value for the dollar. TURBO ENGINES ARE TOUGH AND DURABLE. HANDLING IS UNBELIEVABLE. COMFORT IS GREAT.
