2009 Porsche 911 consumer reviews

terrific car, one of the best sports cars in the world. The PDK transmission is a blast to shift with as well as the steering wheel controls. The navigation system is the best I have ever used thus far.

This vehicle has no flaws. Always kept in the garage. Paint and interior look new. Has that PDK transmission along with the paddle shifters for manual. This maybe is your dream car.

Bought my 2009 C4S Cabriolet used with 27,000 miles on the clock. This is the third Porsche I've owned and it is the best one so far. It proved to me that one should research extensively and identify the car, or narrow range of cars, that you want and then buy the best example of that car you can find. I wanted a Porsche 911, 997.2 ('09 - '11) Convertible, S model (3.8L - 385 hp / 310 #ft), hopefully a C4S, with a manual transmission, and sport-chrono. Took awhile, but I found one and bought it a couple of months ago. This is a remarkable car; so far beyond my 2002 996.2 cabriolet that I am amazed when I am able to unleash it on twisty roads or an open patch of interstate. The acceleration is amazing, just thrilling and the handling, like glue, the AWD system is brilliant. I love this car. It is reliable, fast, quick, responsive, comfortable, easy to drive, and reasonable to maintain. There are myriad reasons that the 997.2 is perhaps the finest water-cooled 911 sports car ever built. I will share a few that were important to me. After this model, starting in 2012, the wheelbase was extended by 4" and the 991s act more like grand tourers than sports cars. Great cars, but I wanted a sports car and the 997.2 was the best one I could identify. Mine has the sport-chrono package, a must if you want to push the car and the stopwatch is kinda cool. The cabriolet is better with the available heated and ventilated seats. 2009 was a watershed year for 911s, but even more so for AWD 911s: first year of the new Direct Fuel Injection engines (no more RMS and IMS issues), first year with the AWD cars getting the turbo's electronic AWD system; LED driving and tail lights, satellite NAVI system (no more DVDs to buy), bluetooth, XM radio, and iPod input. I have a six-speed manual, but this was also the first year for the remarkable PDK transmission. I have only had the car a couple of months but am looking forward to a PCA track day soon. This car is going to be a blast on the race track. I cannot say enough good about the 2009 - 2011 Porsche 911s.

I'm pleased to be back in a 911 Turbo, it's my first Cab and opted for a 6 speed stick, increasingly a rare item. I had forgotten how good this car is, simply amazing.

Of all the Porsches' I have owned, 3 944's, 1 968 and 5 911's, this is by far the best. Comfortable, fast, quiet, easy to drive and great looking. The service is done here in Palm Beach at Orbit Racing, so I can avoid the Porsche dealer, who is good, but out of touch money wise.

I have been buying and selling cars from Marshall Goldman Motor Sales for over 20 years. Currently I deal with Joe. All of my dealingswith them have been first class. I continue to count on them for all my exotic car needs. Its always a pleasure doing business with them!! Thanks guys!!

I traded a 911 996 turbo to Joe Levack at Marshal Goldman for a 2006 997 S with 13000 miles on it .The car is fabulous and the deal was very reasonable . The transaction went smoothly and the car was delivered in closed carrier in perfect and as described condition . Will look to do another deal in a year or 2 .

I love my new (to me) 2009 Porsche 911S. I previously owned a 2003 911 4S which was a great car. The 2009 model is vastly improved over the 2003. Power is up 60 hp. Zero to 60 time is down over a half second. The chassis feels more solid and the car feels more planted. Ergonomics are improved including much more comfortable seating for both driver and passenger.

The cars linkage is in precise, the seats are not comfortable nor are they as supportive as I had hoped, noisy engine, everything is expensive. Fuel economy is fair. Great car for your ego but don't go up against a Vette or you'll have your lunch eaten. A/C system is mediocre. Fit and finish is excellent and dealer service is great. Brakes are outstanding and it handles well but it doesn't let you forget the engine is in the rear. More than once I've spun around and the front was where the rear used to be. Did I mention it costs way too much?

A well balanced and impressive car to drive. Does everything beyond expectations. There are faster cars, but this is in the overall best athlete category.
