They get better every year...

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

Review

This car is much improved over prior years. It is just so well screwed together, plus the performance is outstanding. It has more torque and more HP. I love the new front end, as I always hated to 996 "fried egg" headlamps. I decided not to spring for the "S" version, as the additional $10,000 was tough sell with the wife. This is my fifth Porsche and it finally feels like the price is justified. I splurged for the Carrera 19" wheels - the added grip is noticeable and they are worth every penny. The Litronic headlamps are great too. The new 6-speed is slightly notchy, but this could be due to newness of vehicle.

Favorite Features

I like how it has gobs of torque down low in rpm range. The interior is much improved. It has classic front end styling. It also has tight, rattle free construction. The HVAC system is now first rate.

Suggested Improvements

The radio is too complex. The CD changer should be in the dash, not the trunk. The ride height of the base model is about 1" too high. I wish Porsche offered a glass sunroof. $120 for factory "Porsche" floormats?!?! I'm wealthy enough to buy the car, but I'm not stupid.

Glitches!

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 2dr Coupe AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Electronic glitches plauge the 911! The electronic fuel gauge has a mind of it's own! Overall, though it performs well and has good styling. The manual transmission shifts well and smoothly.

Favorite Features

The styling. Also, the convertible function is smooth and relatively fast.

Suggested Improvements

Check the electronics for glitches.

Review

This car is too much fun. My only complaint is that it has overly complex radio settings. It has great styling and performance.

Favorite Features

The traction control system, manual transmission, and engine sound.

Suggested Improvements

It needs a spare tire and a traditional dip stick.

Exceeding Expectations

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

Review

The performance of this car in the automatic with Tiptropic S is beyond belief. The quality of construction far exceeds all other sports cars. I'm waiting on the Cabriolet!

Favorite Features

The interior combination of colors of black/sand are impressive

Suggested Improvements

Add paddle-style shifting.

It doesn't get any better!

Vehicle

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

Review

What a phenomenal automobile! This car has met and surpassed my highest expectations, it does everything exceptionally well. Its nice low end torque makes everyday driving a pleasure but get the revs up and you better hold on, this car will fly. I have never experienced a nicer shifting manual gearbox or better brakes. The steering input is almost telepathic, the fit and finish is top notch, the ride comfortable, the seats supportive, and all controls fall readily to hand. It doesn’t get any better. Porsche's list of options offers something for everyone (but they are pricey) and you can order a one of a kind car right from the factory, lots of fun.

Favorite Features

The PCCB brakes, X51 kit power and bark, handling, steering input, and drop dead good looks.

Suggested Improvements

PCM controls.
