2004 Porsche 911 Consumer Reviews

Forever Porsche

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 40th Anniversary Edition Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I bought this Porsche second hand after test driving every model from the 993TT, GT2, GT3, Targa 996, and Carerra 997 with everything else in between. Even went to the Porsche Driving School for two days to try out the newer 997's and for the money, this Porsche Rocks!!! She is fulled loaded with everything Porsche could throw into a car plus additional HP with X51 Power Boost. She is a joy to drive with incredible handling, acceleration, and a smooth ride. Beautiful color outside and top quality all leather inside. Downsides, the usual complaints....bad cup holders and the 996 narrow body. Otherwise I have no regrets ever with this purchase!! Test drive one if you can find one!!

First Porsche

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 40th Anniversary Edition Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

During this past year I test drove and researched every Porsche made from 1996-2007. I chose the 2004 Anniversary. I loved its price, acceleration, styling, engine sound, aggressive exterior, and interior creature comforts. It has the most bang for the buck without all the added expenses of a turbo which will be my next Porsche, a 993TT. Maintenance has been marginal and fuel economy exceptional for a sports car. Heads turn wherever I go, including from other Porsche drivers trying to fiqure out what type of Porsche I'm driving. It's a novelity Porsche that packs plenty of horsepower. "She's a lady when she has to be and a whole lot more when she needs to be."

Rare and True Performance

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 GT3 Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The GT3 is a 100% performance vehicle. Its very low production has made the price of these cars stable. You do get what you pay for, however. The car keeps you very alert. Correct driver input is required. This is a real drivers car. It has no electronic traction control or stability management aids, no sunroof, no rear seats. Just a raw 911 driving experience.

996 Turbo Cab

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Turbo AWD 2dr Cabriolet (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I have had the my car for two years. The only warranty problem was a CD player issue. Initially, it burned oil, but this lessened with time. I have tracked the car and it is excellent, though you feel the weight. It is easy to drive every day and the convertible mechanism is great (you can use it up to 31 mph). Its four wheel drive has saved me on the track. My only complaint is the squeaking from the hard-top, which I have not been able to fix for more than a few days. This is my favorite of the three 911s that I have owned over the last few years.

911 is King

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S AWD 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This car is everything I dreamed it would be, and more! It drives like a dream and when it's on open road it just wants to go. Interior is designed beautifully. The wide body and fat rear rubber of the S are the icing on the cake. The new age 911s are a perfect blend of the 911s of the past and the grand touring vehicle the 928 was intended to be. This car is world class!

Perfect Car

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 40th Anniversary Edition Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The 40th Anniversary Porsche 911 Carrera is perfect. It differentiates itself from all other Carreras with 911 badges, Porsche GT paint, horsepower, interior, stereo, and polished wheels. I was just at a Porsche car show with 200+ Porsches and mine was the only 40th anniversary. I had to fight people off with questions and comments about how beautiful the car was. What a great exhaust sound. The matching Porsche leather luggage is frosting on the cake. This car is coooool!

911 TURBO

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 GT2 Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I have wanted a 911 turbo since I was 11 years old and now that I just got one at age 34, my review may be a bit biased. This remarkable car is everything that I expected it to be. I have babied this car at times only to save up for the times that I come across other Porsches, Ferrari's, Lambo's, or motorcycles. There are times when you want to drive the car like it designed to be driven. Once, while getting into the car and planning to go to the office, I realized that 8 hours had gone by and two tanks of gas later, and the office was closing for the day. I drove up and down the beach over 3 counties and took it up to 168 mph on the highway. Get one. Period.

Sensational

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 40th Anniversary Edition Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I have owned a number of 911s (993, 996, 996-C4S) and a Maserati Coupe '04. The 911 40th Anniversary Edition is hands-down the best. It is almost a GT3 with the back seats in so the kids can enjoy the ride. Beautiful details, sensational acceleration and handling with extra horses and sport suspension. In my opinion the absolute best normally aspiarted 911 (I have no experience with the 997) available for the money.

Scream machine

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 40th Anniversary Edition Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I have driven a 1989 Carrera cabriolet for years and loved the air cooled engine, style, and performance. I kept test driving Porsches.... 964s, 993s, and 996's. This was the car that sold me. However, Idid not want to sell the older car. Now, I have two.

Extra loaded

Vehicle

2004 Porsche 911 Turbo AWD 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I bought my 03 Black Turbo tiptronic with 3000 miles on it, but looked brand new and was loaded with extras. The owner had over $158K in it, but things like 19 inch Axis wheels, full carbon fiber, Boxster red leather, 280 watt Alpine stereo including XM and upgraded large screen GPS (nine languages) assures me I will never seen another one like it. Super performance as well as a real head turner. If you can, spend the extra money and make it special!
