Hands down, the best car I've ever owned.

Still turns heads and gets the adrenaline going. I've used as a daily driver for the past seven years and 100,000 miles. Practically maintenance-free (other than normal service).

Gotta to experience it to appreciate it!

This car meets most all needs except space, but this is a Porsche so space was secondary. Used as a every day commuter unlike most just use it as a collector.

Awesome car to drive!

This is my third 911, 1st 911 s and I love it! The only issue I have had with the car is the PCM, a few quirks hooking up my Bluetooth phone. Other than that the car is awesome with only 8k miles on it. Porsche should offer all software updates to customers for no charge or make it possible to update yourselves.

Exceeds expectations

Our grandson says it best "wow" poppys race car has a roof that goes down. This 911 4S gets better everyday. Was told never to drive in sport plus on street.

Precise, Quick, Quality, Practical Daily Driver

If you want a daily driver that can do it all re: performance, this is the car for you. It is quick, handles precisely, is a high quality car that isn't a maintenance hog. It can easily be daily driven and is comfortable and yet is a performance sports car at the same time.

Nice fast car

I drove this vehicle 1700 miles les home from California in 2 days. It was very easy driving and performed just as it should. The interior styling although slightly outdated serves just fine. No driving fatigue at all. Just pure enjoyment.

Generally speaking a great car

my car has a 6 speed manual trans. Shifter cable broke at 61,000 miles. Expected more quality from Porsche. Once owned a 4 speed Karmann Ghia that had over 200,000 miles on it with the original clutch & trans. No problems.

Sexy and Reliable

The most dependable exotic I've ever owned. It's great to have a car that drives as good as it looks.

An incredible performance car

The 997.2 911s really check off all the boxes. Fun to drive with a nice raw feel and extremely reliable by any standard.

It's a Go Cart with 385hp.

I've owned an M3 (2006), 335I, Loaded X5, and I will tell you the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is Not comfortable and it shouldn't be. The 911 is rough, jerky, loud, but quick and fast and handles like a video game. You need to test drive the 911. You need to feel the closeness to the ground. You need to feel the paddles, the 911 in "Sport" opposed to "Sport Plus". You have to like a quick, jerky automobile. I have had the honor of driving a 911 CSC for over 3 years. I will never own another automobile... period. There is no car Funner, no car as fun to drive with the top down floating down the 5 at 145mph (please don't speed). If you are considering a 911, please go test drive and don't bring the woman because she might want a more comfortable car like an M5 or Audi S7. You will tell the sales guy to pull over and talk about the price. You will realize your life has changed. You will realize, when pulling out of the lot, that Every Mile is a Smile. I drive mine everyday, top up and down 3-4 times a day, and all the buttons and features work solid like a champ.
