2011 Porsche 911 consumer reviews

The car does everything well and is as for more competent than 98% of those who own one. Go to a GOOD high performance driving school and become the driver this car deserves....or....buy a KIA :)

Porsche 911 certainly an eye Cather! very reliable and low maintenance car! Its the car you will keep for lifetime

this car is absolutely phenomenal, once you own a Porsche, nothing else comes close, the ride can be adjusted, the power can be adjusted, its awd, all power and reliable

This is a great car, very reliable and FAST! Porsche really made these cars unbreakable. This is my second 911.

A 911 is not for everyone. Most important to remember is that it is a performance car and as such there is not the same ride feel one would have from a soft riding "luxury" car. Many Porsches are purchased because the buyer likes the idea of owning a Porsche and then are faced with the stiffer suspension that a real performance car has by necessity. They then stick it in the garage or trade or sell it with low mileage because it it "too stiff." That brings opportunities to the rest of us. Be aware that not all Carfax reports are complete, If a crash occurred and the owner did not claim it on the insurance then it will show a clean Carfax. Always have any car inspected. Porsche Club of America is very helpful in supplying you with local members who can recommend a trusted Porsche inspection mechanic who will know what to look for in your next 911. The 911 is one of the best cars I have owned, this purchase is my second one. They are engineered to be driven hard and perform as you expect them to in every situation. They also look great.

Full Disclaimer - this was my dream car before I purchased it. I've owned it for almost two years, and I'm still in love with it. I owned a Porsche Cayman S before I purchased my 2011 Carrera S Cabriolet, and they were similar in some aspects. I've driven a few different sports cars, and the 911 is the pinnacle of performance engineering excellence. The car feels harmonious and exceptional to drive. I cannot recommend it enough.

I purchased the 2011 Porsche 911S with the crono package. I currently own a BMW and a Lexus and while both of them have almost 300 HP, I have NEVER experienced the same thrill of hitting sport plus and putting the pedal down to the floor - OMG- there is a very good reason they call this "launch control". The power, brakes ( thank God ) and cornering are next to none. Hard to imagine a better car at any price. Several of my friends own those $250K super cars but nothing compares to this car plus the classic looks are a huge plus. If you can afford one - they are expensive - buy one !!

The 2011-2013 911 Turbo "S" is not a beginners car. Porsche has tamed the beast and made it easy to drive with the PDK Transmission (the only way you can have a 911 Turbo "S"). Although it can easily be driven anywhere you want on an everyday basis, if you don't understand the power of this car, stay away. I have, and have had many cars with more HP, but only my 750 HP Lingenfelter Corvette felt faster. This car is so quick, and moves off the line like no other. It is a truly an amazing piece of German machinery that many could not handle when driving aggressively. If you can handle a car like this, it is a great value for a Ferrari beater at half the price and better build quality, although there isn't a much better feeling than being in a Ferrari, or beating one in a 911 Turbo S. Ferrari owners feel there's no equal and they may be right, but they do respect what the 911 Turbo S can do and will only look at you when you turn away. You won't have to pay any of that Ferrari blackmail money to get one either. I love the car in every way.

Don't wait until you're 50 to drive a 911, you're missing all the fun. I've had my S Coupe for a year now and I have zero complaints. My only issue is that I waited until was older to get he car. I stayed with BMW far too long hoping they would producer a more potent vehicle. Never happened. Drive a Porsche, just once, and you'll never look at another sports car again.

This is my first Porsche, 911S, and won't go back to M3, S4 or AMG. I just can't do it now that I have experienced the performance of true sports car. It corners like it's on rails, power is great at any RPM and it's comfortable as a daily ride. It's tough to drive the other cars in the stable, this gets all my attention.
