I love it. The 997, 911 Carrera 4GTS (2012) is a great sports car for car lovers. I find myself constantly finding excuses to drive it.

Wonderful Engineered Machine

The car is wonderfully engineered. The Porsche 3800 engine has been around for a while with all of the bugs worked out through the experience of thousands of owners/drivers. The PDK transmission is the second key feature in this vehicle with the paddle option a wonderful addition to utilize on the straight-away or the backroads and curves. The electronics complete the package with plenty of instrumentation to keep the "true car geek" happy. All in all, a wonderful car that Porsche designed ?.and I confess, worth the $$$ I paid.

absolutely love my new wheels. raising a family I never had the credit to buy a nice vehicle for myself. once the kids finish college and I repaired my credit the credit union said yes and I'm finally driving my dream car.

Orgasmic Driving Experience

If you never drove a Porsche 911 then to me you never drove a car for fun, this is a mans toy, I would say the ultimate sports car and you can still use it as daily driver. I have owned over 25 cars during my lifetime, from Mercedes, BMW to Lexus and nothing come close to Porsche driving experience and Lexus reliability.

There is no substitute.

I wish I could hang onto this car, but too many in the stable right now. Flawless looks and supercar levels of performance without breaking the bank. In 100% working order -- just like it was driven off the lot. Includes clear plastic paint protector, custom wheels and tinted windows.

Best Care I've Ever Owned

The 911 is an automotive icon for a reason. This car won't fall short of any of your expectations. Its more comfortable than you might expect from a sports car with out losing any of its performance grit. Its one of the only super cars that can fit a baby seat in the back. The roar of the engine in the cabin makes me smile every time i step on the gas.

amazing driving experience

This is the 3rd Porsche I've owned. Driving experience is amazing. Pricing is high for similar sports cars with similar or larger engines. However, the handling doesn't compare. Although you want the load engine roaring, the cabin is on the noisy side even when low RPM cruising. Which is annoying when talking with your passenger or on bluetooth.

A thrill to drive

My return to owning a Porsche with this car - 911 S. Being a novice driver we recently drove it on the road in upper North Ga /Tn / N Ca called tail of the dragon. The car never wavered in a curve & accelerated extremely fast out of cirves. On several ?short? straights , acceration exceeded 65 MPH . Into the curves it was fast while holding the road like glue. In all this experience i used Sport Plus mode.
