Best sports car I’ve ever owned,

Owned a corvette, a viper, the 911 and the boxster. I’d say the boxster s was a bit more fun to drive, and like both porsches equally for different reasons. Test drove BMWs on multiple occasions, never liked any of them. Test drove a couple of ferraris, a bit too small and expensive. Same for the NSX. Bought it 2 years old and got a great price. The targa 4s that I currently have, has some nice 911 features, including the large retractable roof, and the pop up rear window, for easy access to the back seat.

Carrera S

Love the quality, craftsmanship, handling and speed. Oh, and did I mention it’s a convertible?! If you love sports cars, this is the one for you.

Awesome 911 Carrera Cab

Great car but there is no "general owners manual" -just the communications and quick reference guides. Porsche's on-line manual is in Chinese??? Really? Hopefully I won't need the manual often but a nice to have.

Possibly the best sports car in the world.

Sports car with a touch of utility. Yes, there are faster, prettier, more romance inducing cars..., but this car is timeless. When all factors are accounted for, this is reliable sports car that will make you smile every time you drive it.

Most fun car, I've owned

Fun car to own and drive everyday. Not a garage queen. I used it for commuting, love the performance. It has the Turbo 19" wheels to boot!

Most insane car I’ve ever owned.

08 Carrera S. Where do I start. The beauty and design. The performance is like know other. The handling is like your glued to the road. Then you hit the sport button. Holy .... It become a beast. When just cruising you get this feeling of pride and privilege. I don’t mean that In a snooty way. I grew up with not a lot and worked my butt off to get this car and I respect it so much. It’s the only car I actually wipe it down daily. She’s my baby. If you ever get the chance to drive one. Do it. You’ll get the bug

Amazing car, third l have owned.

Supercar you can drive everyday. Nothing touches a 911 Turbo. Drives around town, traffic, no problem. Hard not to drive the xxxx out of it.

High Performance with comfort

After owning other Sportscars, this one is the easiest to drive and more comfortable than others. It has all the power I want with a much smoother ride.
