2009 Porsche 911 Consumer Reviews

Adrenaline?

Vehicle

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Bought it used but low miles. I've read that performance actually improves after 5k miles when the engine is broken in. After some deliberation, decided to get the pdk with sport chrono package. Glad I did. Took it on some backroads where we could open it up. Put it in sport mode, punched it. Wow. Nothing like I'd ever experienced. My girlfriend took a turn, decided to try "launch mode." put it in sport plus mode. Foot on the break, she revs the engine, the car is lurching, wanting to go. She reluctantly pushes the tach to 6500 rpm, car is screaming. The console lights up "launch mode active" and off we go. It takes about 15 minutes to get her blood pressure back to normal.

Awesome

Review

This is an amazing car. I have never enjoyed drive a vehicle as much as my 911. The acceleration is as sophisticated as one would expect from a Porsche. It's only a beast when you want it to be.

Great Car

Vehicle

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Came from an 04 BMW M3 w/ SMG. That was a great car but SMG was primitive. Porsche is more comfortable and seems to handle better. Also quicker to accelerate. BMW was more "involved". More mechanical and more intense. Porsche is more relaxed but simply responds the more it is pushed. Overall a better performing car. BMW was "edgy" so seemed to be a real performance car...a race car for the street. Porsche seems more sophisticated. I really need to adjust my attitude. The feeling is the limits of the car are far beyond anything I can (safely) approach on the street. I need more time, then I will hang the tail out on some turns. An amazing automobile.

coming home

Vehicle

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Just bought a new 09 911S cab. Had an 08 911S cab but traded it on an M3 cab at the end of 08. Since had an 09 Jag xk cab and an 09 Jag xkr cab (ok, call me crazy with all these cars). But getting back in this 911S is like coming home. First thing I did was take a cloverleaf onto a highway at 70 mph without leaning and quickly realized what I had been missing. Jag xkr has more curb appeal, but this is just the perfect car, especially with a six speed. Car is much quicker than my 08...clear improvements to the 997 and 1/2. My wife doesn't believe that I will keep this car for a long while given my history, but I will win this bet. I am home.

I want to leave a 10 review but...

Vehicle

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I Bought this car brand new about 3 months ago. I love the car.. it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.. Although lately. its a little more difficult to smile. 1st problem.. water in the tail lights. (condensation) but ALOT.. Second.. My Cell phone will not link to the car's system. Its a $400 phone. don't understand why its not compatible. I'm pretty good with electronics and the simple directions were clear to understand in the manual. Third problem. it will not learn my Garage Door Code.? Today, The Radio seems like the antenna disconnected. its not tuning in clearly on any station. I hope this car wasn't built on a Friday..:(

09 C2 Cab (6 spd)

Vehicle

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 2dr Convertible (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is my first Porsche. Originally, looked at remaining '08 Boxsters then '08 911s and came away with great deal on '09 911. No problems other than speed limits and not being able to push to limits. I tried the PDK and it is sweet, but not engaging enough, so went with manual 6spd. Steering is precise, power is not overwhelming in the base model, but sufficient overall. Very comfortable as daily driver. Has been thirsty for oil; about a quart per 1000 miles.

Silky smooth!

Review

Traded in 07 Boxster S, loved that car but the Carrera coupe offers more room for driver and passenger. My last 911 was a '70 E, and this new one is totally different. Great driver, handling is awesome.

Even better than what you imagine

Vehicle

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S 2dr Convertible AWD (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Just got my 2009 C4S coupe and it is just absolutely awesome. Very tight build, not rattle or hum that doesn't belong. Very much as one reviewer said - Clark Kent around town and easy going, a raging hulk when you want it to be. I've got the stick and it is really fun to drive and also helps you from going 90 around town without realizing it. If you've been wanting a Porsche and considering a sports car I can't make a higher recommendation. Take from a guy who just got his first one after 30 years of dreaming - even better live and in person!
