2011 Porsche 911 consumer reviews

To the guy that "spun"...It's called "tail whip". If accelerating hard through a corner and you feel the rear start to slip, stay in the gas or the inertia of a rear engine vehicle will kick your around. Driven properly, handling of a Porsche can not be matched. I've owned two, driven them hard...and had nothing but shear pleasure. Quality is second to none as well.

This car is built to be driven and driven fast. The styling is crisp and the controls are user friendly. Just drive it and watch the speed limit, it comes up fast.

I gave this car 5 stars in all categories accept value. As much as I love my new car, it is an indulgence and I cannot in good conscience call it a good value. That being said it is the best money I have ever spent! In my opinion there is no other car as distinctive and classically styled. A 911 is instantly recognized and no other car can ever be mistaken as a 911. I love the feel of a rear engine car. The engine is very responsive and the performance is fantastic. The gas mileage is surprisingly good for a high performance car. I average 18.5 mpg, and I drive aggressively. I really can't think of anything I don't like about the car. I choose a manual transmission which I love. I also opted for the Sport Chrono Package. The electronics are great. I use the integrated Bluetooth on the highway with the top down all the time. All in all I have never been so completely satisfied with a purchase.

I purchased Carrera S with a premium package plus. This was my first Porsche I bought and I was pretty thrilled to buy this car cuz you know it's Porsche. The luxurious classic design and high-end name value. I used to own an M3 before I bought this. However, I knew instantly that my decision was wrong as soon as I took this car on the freeway. I was driving at night, and there weren't as many cars. I wanted to see how the car would handle at a fast speed. So I accelerated up to about 90-95mph ish, and I was coming towards a corner and I expected it to corner all smooth, but it lost control and spun. I almost hit the rail but luckily I didn't hit anything despite the car spun for good 5-6 seconds. This was a huge disappointment for me. As I started researching more about this car, I learned that this happened to a lot of other Porsche owners. Well. I am greatful that I didn't get hurt, but I am never driving this junk again. If you are considering buying a Porsche, well think again.

i test drive lots of extreme supercars , none could give the same preciseness as a porsche can do. Ultimate german engineering. What can you expect.

Just bought my 3rd 911, a 2012 S. My last one was a 2003--bought it used, restored it better than it was when I bought it, and kept it for 5 years. I've had Mercedes, BMW, Corvettes and a sweet Toyota MR2 turbo, and most of them were better looking than the 911. But the Porsche puts a grin on my face every time I drive it. The car responds quickly and precisely and you can get ahead of the crazies. What's safer than that? :-)

I purchased this car a few months ago and since then it has been like a nightmare. I bought Porsche Carerra S cuz I really liked the exterior classic styling, but this car performance was way lower than my expectations. One time I spun on the freeway when I made an abrupt lane change. I thought Porsche should handle like a dream like everyone else claims, but it was wrong. This never happened to me when I was driving a M6 before this car. I am going to sell it and return to BMW.

wow. amazing. its ridiculously fast from stand still. the handling is the best ive ever had or test drove. interior is nothing special but i have no complains. it is a head turner only to those who knows its Turbo S. i got mine in Carrara White had to wait 8 months for it. and it was worth every day i waited. its not a street car. so if you dont have a track near by. there is no point. Best thing is to rent a track and go for a ride. because when you're done, you will ask your self " Did i just live life? " ohh yeah
