Forget your prejudices about Porsches and German engineering. With the 996 and the Boxster (water cooled Porsches for over a decade until 2009) Porsche built and sold a car it knew had a self-destructive intermediate shaft bearing that could easily and without visible warning destroy the engine on any car, and has not issued a recall to correct the design defect. It has also not recalled the more common leaky main bearing seal. This is especially egregious because the 996 has the highest gross profit margin of any automobile ever in production. They could have replaced every engine on every 996 sold and still made a handsome profit. And yes, it is a hoot to drive.

With respect to reliability, the car has been disappointing: close to $500 to fix a burned out xenon bulb; a failed rear main seal (a universal problem in 996s, 911s built from 1998- 2008, I have since found out, a lemon by any other name); failed sport exhaust cutout; failed radiators and there are 2 of them; increasingly stiff and notchy shifter; fractured dash trim (due to age) etc. Honoring the warranty has been reasonable. Noise and ride can be intolerable at times. Totally lacking in balanced handling, compared say to a Boxster or Miata, especially dangerous in very high speed curves, when camber and rear weight bias can combine to give it Corvair (or original VW Beetle) characteristics

I love this car. 15 Porsches this by far my favorite. I was a purist not getting a water cooled 911. Quality of materials, dependable, fast (with K&N and Italian exhaust) decent ride, find one with the optional sport seat, these are really comfy.

I bought my 911 on 9/11 from an individual who had babied it. It only had 13K miles when I bought it 5 years old, so essentially I got all the experience the first owner had when it was new at about 1/3 of the original price. 996's, especially the later ones, like this one, are very underrated, mainly because of the different shape of the headlights. Let me say this - when you're cruising down the road and going through the gears, you're in a Porsche. Period. It is still a work of art, a marvel of technology and a high performance race car all rolled into one. I bought an extended warranty from Easy Care just in case, but haven't had to use it. Great value on quintessential sports car!

I bought a blue '03 C4S in Jan '08 with a 6-sp man & 64,000 miles on the odometer. Factory MSRP was over $82K (with destination), but I got it for 40. I had concerns 'cuz of the mileage, but it looked great, everything worked, the leather smelled new and the car rode as solid as a brinks truck. Having used it as a daily driver for 11 months, I can report that handling is phenomenal on a dry road (even with AWD and PSM, the car will spin if pushed in the wet), acceleration is sublime and the brakes are in a class of their own. The tear of the flat-6 when the revs pass 4000 makes the driver feel like he's in a race car. The C4S's gorgeous turbo-style body draws envious stares.

I have had sports cars in the past; corvettes, BMW M3, 500SL. NOTHING comes close to the pure fun of a Porsche 911 Cabriolet. Everybody else on the road is there only for you to pass them. Takes the corners impossibly well. Exterior design that you never get tired of. I have had Mercedes for many years and I am impressed with the ergonomic design and build quality of Porsche, absolutely on a par with MB (or better). If you have never driven a 911, you dont know what you are missing. I will say that I test drove a couple of coupes and really didn't fall in love until I drove the cabriolet. Top down is a car driving sensory overload.

I have owned several Porsche's over the years. However, this is undoubtedly is the best one yet! Its power and handling are outstanding. The car is solid, and the ride, albeit harsh, creates a feeling that the it is glued to the road. It does not have much luggage space, but who cares. It has great instrumentation, which tells everything a real driver wants to know about the car and engine. It's gas mileage isn't great, but who cares, it's a Porsche. I have no complaints.

Having had the pleasure of owning a few special cars, this is my first Porsche...whoa. The engine hanging off the rear end makes this the best feeling and handling car I've driven. The exhaust note announces your arrival without being intrusive. Running through the gears of this fast, quick, beautiful car makes the commute something to look forward to. It is simply a great car. It makes me happy.

It's a piece of history! After 40 years Porsche has finally tuned its chassis against the laws of physics. It's amazing to drive and so reliable. No other super car can reach 100,000 miles and still run smoothly. The Germans know how to build and it shows on the JD Power survey.

This is a more luxurious car than any of my other 911 Porsche that I have owned. It does't have exactly the same ferrocious acceleration as my 1998 C2S or my 1993 RS 911, but it is a more forgiving ride. It is more comfortable around town. It oozes with a formal, superior luxurious ride. I have found that if I switch off the PASM control, things get back to the Porsche feel that I am more accustomed to. This car has the full leather interior option and it feels, looks, and smells great. I also have the aero kit, it adds a fantastic look to the car.

With the x-50 horsepower package this car @ 450 hp has all the performance and high end torque you'd ever need unless you're an F-1 driver. The car has immense practical driveability as an everyday car. Rattles - a service department that has a hard time listening and a car that died with a mechanical failure at 4,000 miles leaves a little bit of a bad taste though-maybe a Ferrari next time?

Performance is awesome, limited only by the driving abilities of the driver. I now have total closure with the old addage of "Porsche, there is no substitute." Excellent vehicle for the true driving ethusiast, who has lots of loot to lay out fot this worthy babe!

Recently acquired a used 2003 911 cabriolet that was traded in on a 2004 C4S cab. The word 'outstanding' does not do justice to the car. Fit, finish, ride, handling, acceleration, and the "oh wow" factor are simply first-rate. In the 40 years I have been driving my 2000 Boxster and the '03 911 cabriolet are simply the finest cars I have ever owned or driven. The '00 Boxster was flawless. It was never in the shop for anything other than the most routine of maintenance. The new car gives evidence of having the same quality built in. For me, the Prosche advertising slogan: "Porsche, there is no substitute" is spot on.

The acceleration of the X50 version is breathtaking...makes you want to get off the freeway just so you can zoom back on. Goes around corners like a scotch taped eel. (T. McEwen, Mechanix Illustrated) Having owned three previous Porsches including a turbo in the '80's and '90's, the '03 is clearly superior. Great entertainment, especially blowing off the Gallardos!

I've wanted one of these since 1968, & finally got my dream car. I'm a big guy, but the interior has plenty of leg room & shoulder room. Acceleration is excellent, but I got beat a couple of times by much less expensive cars, which really shouldn't have happened. Back seat is handy for putting bags onto. It's not hard getting into & out of; for those who think this is tough, try an Audi TT & see what you think then. Top quality materials throughout, but at this price, a little more metal instead of plastic would be nice. I get 21 mpg, which is surprisingly good.

This car is amazing. I originally did the homework and was close to buying a C4S, but when I saw the price I thought a used Turbo would be better, but then saw the upgrades made in 03 like the PCM II. Then the X50 package and I went for it. It is amazingly fast and without my Valentine 1, I be paying a lot of speeding tickets since it's hard to tell when you are going over the speed limit. Overall this car is amazing and very well built. Mine does not rattle one bit. Love it!

I have owned this, my 6th Porsche for just more than a year. It is incredible, the best yet. I specially went through and ordered it just as I wanted it and it was worth the wait. The handling is wonderful, the braking absolutely incredible and the tiptronic, my first, has made my enjoyment of the car so much more practical. I am a long term, 20+ years PCA member and this 911 is the best yet. Getting the Tiptronic was a big decision, but so very practical for the actual day to day driving in traffic and using the phone ( yes, we all do use the phone in the car, don't we?).

The car is really a joy to drive. Looking at the new Cabriolet Turbo this spring. You cannot find a better manufacturer or a better devotion to ensuring the quality of the brand! For example. I was contacted by Porsche that they didn't like the way my particular engine transmission was made ( they claimed it was a little too notchy in the 2nd to 3rd shift) so they sent a brand new $19,000 transmission from Stutgart and swapped it in a day! The car was and is in my estimation handling beautifully and I for one am duly impressed! Having taken laps at Watkins Glen at over 150 MPH I assure you It's a dream.

I love the acceleration power, the handling is uncomparable, you have to get use to the weight in the rear engine compartment, the auto correcting feature has kicked in a couple of times and I have been saved from a spin out.

I drive a triple black Porsche and its just a great automobile far superior to my 1995 C2 and Z06 Vette. This car just has class, speed, comfort and handles unbelievably. I am very happy with it and cant wait to break it in. The engine noise is like the old 994's, I can just get mesmorized listening to the engine when taking off and accelerating. I have been stopped a few times already with admirers,, this is the ultimate rag top roadster that sets the standard for all others in my opinion. Once you drive a Porsche, you never go back, I tried to but couldnt stand another car and couldnt replace the feel and the experience.

After driving a Merecedes, then a Corvette, my husband suprised me with a 1990 911 Cabriolet. That was three Porsches ago, and now my 2003 is my baby. My husband drives a 1996 993 Twin Turbo, so we are a Porsche family all the way! A benefit of this car that I would not tell my husband is that men check it out ALOT...which has made for some interesting conversations at red lights. ;)

The Carrera is a very easy car to drive fast. It's also very comfortable too. Must get the Xenon lights and 18" wheel option. Leave out the PSM because you'll never need it. Spend almost $3500 just for power leather seats! Ouch...Great car. Very pricey. But worth buying the legend.

Just couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of driving my friends 911 Turbo X50 for couple days. Well, now I know what a real car is!!! I swear it's more than what you can ever imagine... incredibly fast, your eyes start watering when you start accelerating, it reminds me of the acceleration and fun of a 1000cc sport bike.. Fit and finish is unbelievable, with the stereo system being up there with the best of them! Grabs attention like no other car, I had a guy pull next to me at a stop light in a new S500 and ask me: "How does it feel to drive the baddest car in the world?" I have no words to express the experience.

Great car on the track, the street, and the snow (must use winter treads). I use the 17 inch winter rims from my previous 99 C4 Cab in the winter, and make it up any hill thanks to AWD and PSM traction control. The Natural brown leather looks great if you don't like the Porsche cinnamon and mustard looking leather. The radio is still not great even though its a bose, and has caused a few repair trips. Fewer rattles than the C4Cab. Great cornering and unreal acceleration. The C4 is really fast enough though.

Just bought new 911 turbo. While i luv the performance and serious quickness, I prefer the rough real sports car feel of my 1989 turbo. I just sold it and seriously regret it. Also feel the older turbos are better looking. The new turbo is extremely, breathtakingly fast, albeit: a little too cushy for this girls taste. All in all, a fabulous ride, though!!! No major complaints.

There's good reason for Porsche to hold icon status. Everything about these cars puts them in a category above all else. I've never before had so much fun driving, nor felt so challenged by a vehicle, than I do with my 911. This car requires your complete attention at all times. And you must give it everything you've got, because you know that it will give you everything it's got with just a simple request and no backtalk. I'm not sure I could ever be happy again driving anything else.

Big difference with this and the 2002 is the motor. They added 20+ horsepower, more low end to the car. This car is very easy to drive, perhaps to easy. I have driven a boxster and this car is even easier to drive. Brakes are excellent and overall the build quality is excellent. I suggest you skip a lot of the extra add on's and opt for the 18 inch wheels and tires. Get it with the 6 speed.....don't be a whimp!

This is the best car I have ever owned, I just bought it a few months ago and I have been in heaven with it since then. Mine is Black with A Black Top and Black interior, which is probly the best color on the car. Everything works great, I havent had many problems, though the people at my dealership arent the brightest and sometimes screw things up. But besides that, when I have it out on the road its great. Im in Pennsylvania so we have alot of back roads I can just fly through with it. I rated Comfort as a 9, because when your going on a bumpy road, you can feel every bump right up your butt. But I love my car and wont get rid of it till next year!

Althought the targa can not be compared to the turbo it is also a lot cheaper and for a car that is not at all that expensive, I'm really happy with it. I don't know what's wrong with the other guy that rated the targa.

This is by far the highest quality car that I have ever owned. The fit/finish is excellent. Eventhough Ive only had the car for a short time, it has a feel of solidity and reliability that my previous rides did not have. Of course the car is tremendously fast but it accelerates quietly with very little drama. You can find yourself at 125mph before you know it. The car is so capable and solid at high speed that it just begs you to go faster. The handling is also excellent with a perfect amount of steering feedback. The grip on curves is astounding especially enlight of the rear engine configuration.

They don't compromise to achieve more comfort, amenities or affordability. You simply won't believe what Porsche can do with a six cylinder engine. In short, it's fabulous.

Handling and breaking are excellent. Initial quality is excellent and acceleration is very good - but Turbo would be great. Cost of factory "extras" is exhorbitant. Radio is confusing. We have the optional sport exhaust with adjustable volume - I absolutely love this feature. Factory wing, although very expensive, really makes the 911 look sharp. Fantastic car, but I see a Turbo in my future.

Fit and finish are outstanding, no rattles or flaws. Full leather is just that, awesome full stitched leather. Drop top at up to 25 MPH an improvement over previous years. I installed a short throw shifter(6 sp) and the gear shifting is precise and very short. This is a much better car and a lot more fun to drive than any other sports automobile I have had in the past including a Ferrari 328 and a TR.

Porsche has poor quality control in their assembly. My vehicle was delivered with an annoying rattle from the dash and rear of the vehicle which has still to be completely corrected. The car has been in the shop three times already and will return. The dealership service department has been very gracious but the initial quality of the car has taken some of the joy of ownership out of the experience.

When it turned green, the Z06 took off and I could not catch him. Even around the winding roads. I should have opted for the ZO6,and saved myself 40,000. Porsche is a waste of money.

I bought a new car from Claridges in Fremont, California. The car was perfect. Never needed any dealer adjustment for any initial delivery defects. Totally perfect. Awesome convertible top - one button and/or key controlled. The fit/finish of this car is perfect and is better than a new Ferrari I bought. Needless to say it is much more drivable. Finally this car has outstanding performance - wonderful in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear - pulls very strongly at all rpm. Only so so point is that all my driving resulted in rear tire wear. When I owned a C4 the tire wear was more distributed - this car is a C2 and hence the rear tires suffered.

It took a little while to get use to not having the "RAW" power and torque that the Corvette's had, but this Porsche is FAST. The fuel economy is less then the previous cars; however 6th gear in the Porsche still offers some acceleration which the Corvette's did not. No complaints so far and I have 9500 miles already.

The best car ever
