Used 2014 Porsche 911 Consumer Reviews
A Porsche Lovers Car
Driving my 911 is the highlight of my day. My first Porsche was a 1995 Porsche 993 and my 991 is every bit as fun to drive. I don't buy Porsche for comfort, tech gimmicks, nor appropriately sized cup holders, I get that from my Lexus sedan. I own a Porsche for its racing history, performance, and responsiveness. The 991 handles as superbly on a road trip at 100 mph as it does on the streets in traffic. The acceleration for this base model is more than enough for where I live in the suburbs. I would recommend the S or Turbo if you need more speed or want to impress your friends. The "rough ride" should tell you that you're driving a true sports car, not an German sedan that goes fast in a straight line while you search the web and talk on the cell phone. Porsche enthusiast will appreciate the value in the 911, all others need not apply.
My New 2012-- 911 Carrerra S PDK Coupe
I really want to drive this car to California, or at least to the track at Lime Rock. This car puts a grin on me from ear to ear. I was hesitant when I traded my 09 Turbo stick coupe for this PDK 911S Coupe, but I am totally pleased with the decision.No regrets. Its a better more sophisticated car. Far less of a go kart, much more stable, smooth and luxurious. Did I say fast, oh yes..useable fast and snarly when you push it.The front end is no longer bouncy and light. Far better exhaust note, like a ferrari, with pops, blips,growls and attitude. The PDK is impressive, and in sport plus it rocks The elec steering feels great. Rock solid and a snake in the turns. This is a drivers car!

17k miles and running strong...
There's a 335i, a 997 GT3 (track), a Macan S and a BMW X3 (dog car) in the stable.... My daily driver was a 997 C2S that 103k miles on it and decided to upgrade to a a used 991. Purchased a 14 991, guards red cab, with sports chrono, all the options and sports design package. Sticker was 119,500. Paid under 70k. For the last 7k miles, including a couple of long hauls, over a thousand miles, the car ran like a top. Comfort, plenty of speed, and great mileage. I truly enjoy the new PDK, first automatic in over forty years of Porsches... If you're looking for a zoom-zoom, stop light to stop light car, save your self a few bucks and get the 335i... but be aware that six starts to cough once over a 100k miles. The non turbo sixes do not... they run forever. I wonder what the new 991.2 turbo's will do at high mileage... This 991 will be in the stable for a while... get the rag top...

It's a street-able race car, not a Bentley
You don't buy any 911 thinking it's a practical family car! It's an expensive car that costs a lot for parts, service, etc. I've had 2, both 2014 a CarerraS and a Turbo S. I have never had 1 problem!! I was sent to the Porsche drivers school and found out the cars were all brand new (when I was there) and here's the break in: turn them over to student drivers who don't know proper track driving and drive the cr@p out of them. I was told they sell them to selected dealers with full warranty/extended if the buyer purchases it, and all they do is change the oil and tires. Their purchasers know of this arrangement and there is apparently a waiting list for these cars. To me that spoke volumes. My turbo at the track had 139 miles on it (I could be confusing models) and there was not 1 issue the entire day I was there. If you can afford the price and the prices that go along with such a car, IMHO you can't beat the experience if you like German sports cars. My dealership has an incredibly high repeat customer base. If the cars were "bad" none of the above would be true. I'm sure there are not so great cars that get built, but to act like this is the norm is just wrong. Again I own 2 2014s, and have driven them to death. I bought a Macan based on my 911 experience and while I've only had it a few months, it is built like a tank, with a surprisingly comfortable ride.

It's A Porsche...Enough Said.
This is hands down one of the finest automobiles available. It is my second 911 and it is simply the most enjoyable car to drive. It is crazy fast and handles like a dream.
