Exceeds Expectations

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is my dream car! The performance, styling, and build quality is beyond comprehension. This car gets many lookers and questions. I was considering the 997 Turbo, but my wife asked "Where can you drive it?" (Drive like you mean it!) It is tricky and you have to pick and chose where you will "let it run!" Having the car where the public can get close does make one a "nervous nelly", unless of course you have endless financial resources. I saved for this car 25 years and it was worth it. Being a big guy 6'3" 230 I have plenty of room to move around. I love when the handling kicks in and the car bears down and grabs the curves!

Favorite Features

The power, braking ability, and handling. Styling is rich and traditional. The build quality that no american made car can compare to!

Suggested Improvements

It is expensive and the add ons you want will need to be worth the money.

Greatest Car Ever ?

Written by: ALAN.AYLING on 12/12/2007

Vehicle

2007 Porsche 911 GT3 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The Car is simply exhilarating but extraordinarily straightforward to drive. However it is not for the faint hearted or uncommitted driver. It demands concentration every moment at the wheel. It is the first car that I have driven that ensures that I am not interested in a radio, the CD player or the scenery beyond the road ahead. The car obeys every input, is totally surefooted and yet blows your mind every time you hit the accelerator. On top of this the car is a great investment and has a fantastic build quality. I hate cars that shake or squeak at every twist, turn or bump in the road. This my second porsche and I doubt that I will ever be happy with any other alternative in the future.

Favorite Features

The acceleration, grip, control and the feeling of sitting in the carbon fibre seats. It's awe inspiring.

Suggested Improvements

Reduced cost of tyres! There is no option outside of OPC provided tyre choice.

Not a city car

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I am a BMW driver - this is not a city car. You need open road to run it for an hour over a hundred mph while your eyes are peeled looking for the law. I cannot understand how any one can use this car running from 30 - 70 mph. I am coming up the Florida Turnpike walking past everything that moves - my passenger asks me how fast I am going - I am doing 75 mph and it feels like 45. This is my dream car, I need no more power, but hitting 50 years old, I am looking at Jaguar XJR so I can cruise and not destroy myself or lose my license.

Favorite Features

Power, design, road recognition and appreciation from other drivers.

Suggested Improvements

Seats not the most comfortable.

Amazing

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I can't say enough about this Porsche. I have had over 30 cars over the years and this Porsche is nothing but a complete joy to drive. This is my second Porsche and it is nothing short of amazing. It handels great and the interior has been well done (unlike the 1997 Carrera 4 I had before). I love it and have put 9,000 miles on it im a few short months (so much for resale value). Oh well, I am having to much fun in it.

A disappointing street car, but...

2007 Porsche 911 GT3 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

After 9 months and 3400 miles, I've come to feel that my GT3 is so capable that driving it on the street is an exercise in fustration. You can't use even 50% of the car's performance without risking a ticket or endangering other motorists. So mine sits in the garage most of the time. On racetracks, it's a totally different story. The car is very easy to drive to the limit and will do lap after lap at the max with no sign of strain whatever. It is really a piece of work!

Favorite Features

Sport button, engine, transmission, styling.

Suggested Improvements

Take the engine out to 3.8 liters! Make the sunroof a delete option.

My fourth porsche and its my most enjoyable car, I had the dealership add sport exhaust and the sound is outstanding in the open mode, it handles great and rides a bit rough in sport mode but I love it.

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

After 35 years of uninterrupted BMW ownership I purchased my first Porsche last August. The car is superb in every way. The X51 kit and PCCBs are just icing on the cake. After 10,500 miles I have yet to have a single fault or problem. I couldn’t be happier.

Favorite Features

Superb handling but yet a comfortable daily driver, great gas mileage considering the high level of performance.

Suggested Improvements

None.

Fantastic everyday car

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

After years of driving high-end sedans and wishing they felt more like a Porsche, I finally bought a 911. I use it everyday, and it is an absolute joy to live with. It is easy to drive around town, it performs well in the rain, its storage space is not large but it's useful, and it is sublime at speed, highway or not. Everything about this car is perfectly placed, weighted, and coordinated. It gets amazingly good mileage for such an exciting car. I got the base 911 - no options and no "S", and I have to say that it feels like I got an awful lot for my money. If you're looking for a truly great car that you can use regularly as well as on the weekends, consider a 911 seriously.

Even a base Carrera rocks!!

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I wanted a Cayman S, but my wife insisted on having a back seat, so we compromised with a modestly optioned 911. Most 911s sold are 911S models of one kind or another, which adds $7-8K to the car. Having come from a 1997 E36 BMW M3, this is a huge change. You sit lower, steering and suspension are excellent. The torque is impressive and the engine sound - look out. It's a daily-driver style car; don't expect it to feel like a WRX with a lowered suspension. But when you let out the throttle it's fantastic, especially while cornering. It's a classic design and very comfortable to sit in. Save up and order one new; you will avoid getting the ubiquitous silver car with black interior.

Favorite Features

I'm in love with the car, so everything is fantastic.

Suggested Improvements

Ability to use an iPod, but you can do it with aftermarket kits.

2007 911 Turbo (The Best Yet!!)

Written by: mykelsang4lyf on 06/20/2007

Vehicle

2007 Porsche 911 Turbo 2dr Coupe AWD (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I just purchased the GT Silver 911 last month for my birthday. I got just about all the options including the carbon ceramic brake package. I chose to get the aluminum trim package as well as the fully adaptive leather seats. A lot of people think the tiptronic is better, but having the 6-speed manual is far more responsive. What I do in this car I know I did. It's beyond amazing. Fuel economy is also amazing for a car with this much power and speed. The best of 2007... the Porsche 911 Turbo gets my vote!

Favorite Features

Carbon ceramic brakes, navigation, audio system, adjustable rear wing, choices of interior trim.

Suggested Improvements

None... it's a perfect mix of everything!
