Review
Have owned car about a year, purchased used with 50k on it. Had original window sticker and records. Always wanted a 911 since I was a kid 30 years ago, but fearful of cost of owning a performance German car, but wish I had done it years ago. Awesome driving car, a solid rock. Bullet like acceleration, brakes that stop on a dime and give 9 cents change, on rails handling, visceral exhaust noise. Classic style that will never be mistaken for some pseudo Asian competition. This car is addictive to drive. I find myself always taking the long route home.

If you have never owned a Porsche. You should at least once in your life. It is not just a car it is pure man and machine made whole in one. It is perfection. Want to go fast in a straight line buy a Vette; want an experience buy the Porsche.

This is definitely a great purchase. This car is fun to drive and I can't find enough reasons to drive it. Its horsepower and torque have a nice balance. The only complaint is the suspension. It is too soft for such a performance vehicle. A stiffer suspension would give this car more predictability. However the PSM certainly compensates for it.

I have had several air cooled Porsche 911's and this first water cooled auto is a blast to drive and own. It has great handling and awesome excelleration through the gears. It can easily handle the C4 Corvettes and most of the tricked out Hondas and Subarus that aren't too tuned up. I don't waste the gas on the new 350ZX's that pull up and want to go at it. A lot of people tailgate you out of jealousy, but you get used to it and just slow down to aggravate them. Through the twisties, nothing out there can keep up with you as long as you stay on the gas pedal, the handling is phenomenal. I am going to sell this car soon and upgrade to a late model 996 Turbo.

The sound of acceleration is
intoxicating, as is rolling through a
slow-speed zone in first or second
gear. This car turns heads. One minor
problem is lack of a cup holder. One
MAJOR problem is that every 20 year
old idiot in a honda will tailgate
you, as well the 'never will afford a
real car' minivan driving middle age
losers (male and female). Cannot tell
you how many times I have been driving
merrily along and some MORON pulls up
next to me and starts revving his
engine: especially contractors in
pickups trucks. Gas milage:
unbelievebly good. I just re-tread
with factory spec tires, and the cost
was under a grand.

Everything I expected in a street legal
race car. If you want a luxury sport
touring car, or muscle car buy one, but
not a Porsche.

This car performs beautifully.
Precise handling, excellent
acceleration and great, classic
styling contribute to a great
experience in the vehicle. 27 mpg at
65 mph is a bonus. It ended up my
best mileage vehicle.

After arriving back from the Porsche
Zuffenhausen factory where I went on
the tour, I felt compelled to promote
these fine cars. I was blown away by
not only the legendary performance of
this fine automobile but also the
quality of both the components and
workmanship are matched only by the
attention to detail in the design.
There is very little to find fault
with. Mind you Porsche has been
refining this car for over 40 years.

I sold my 95 NSX because it couldn't
safely accommodate children. My 2000
911, of course, can do this, and it's
more comfortable, it offers more
technology (in terms of safety,
performance, etc.), and it is about as
much fun to drive. However, despite
good JD Power reliability ratings I have
been disappointed. With only 6000 easy
miles on the odometer, I've had to deal
with 3 oil leaks -- a pinched O-ring, a
leaky valve cover, and in the past few
days, the main oil seal has begun to
fail. I understand that 911s have a
reputation for oil leaks but this is a
bit much, especially compared to that
NSX....

The input from the steering wheel
always impresses me. The car is
terrific to drive, light on its feet,
and a pleasure to drive. It needs
more power though. I was looking at a
GT-3 or a turbo but then found TPC on
the East Coast. They are shipping me
a supercharger and I will have around
440 hp. Problem solved!!
