Nothing better

I bought this car 5 years ago - speed yellow with black top, and then 28,000 miles. It's almost 11 years old now with 60,000 miles. No one believes it. These are phenomenally fun, well- built and fast cars. I drive mine daily and thoroughly enjoy it. By far the most satisfying car I've ever owned (and I've owned Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Toyota, etc...) There is no doubt that the only thing that will replace it will be a newer 911 convertible - hopefully a Turbo. In a word - you need one!
Not just a toy

I had never owned a high end sports performance car. This was definitely a step up from the Japanese ones I previously owned and the newer ones on the current market. Initially, looked at buying a Maserati Spyder with F1. Oddly another customer at the Ferrari dealership recommended trying Porsche and I have not looked back. I thought this would be a car that sat in the garage to maintain its value with low mileage. I can't stop driving it though, taking it to work everyday, routine shopping, long-distance trips, and sometimes just for fun. It has been a pleasure to drive. The kids want to ride in it all the time as well.

Half the cost of other 911s for no rational reason

If you want to pay $15-$20k more for a 993 or a 997, you can. But for $18-$20k you can own an amazing world class sports car by getting a 996. Other than the controversial headlights and the need to replace the IMS bearing, there is nothing above this car to debate. These cars will hold their value, and as the rest of the collector car world continues to go up and up in price, chances are good that a welll cared for 996 may go up in the coming years too. Six months since I wrote this review and my 996 is still rock solid and even more sublime now that I have a better understanding of its driving characteristics. It’s been about 18 months since I bought my 996. The only unexpected costs have been replacement of a leaky hydraulic pump in the convertible. Total cost was $2200. Other than that the car has been great. I’ve gotten to know it’s driving characteristics even better of course, and I think the one thing I might want to upgrade is the factory shocks. I’m now at 94,000 miles and they seem a little bouncy at times. This car has not disappointed at all. I hate to think about ever selling it, but I could see myself upgrading to a C8 Corvette in about 2-3 years.

I've owned this car since new and used it as a weekend toy, and what a toy it is. On the 1 or 2 occasions where I thought about selling it, I've only had to go and drive it for a few miles and I've come back with a smile on my face. It's hard to believe that it could be improved on. The only problems I've had have been with the top was not working correctly when I first got the car. The performance, handling styling and overall experience of ownership have been above my expectations. I would absolutely buy another Carrera.
Great till the engine seizes

I was a victim of a catotrophic engine failure of a 2002 Porsche 911.the car had 65k on it and I DID the IMS bearing fix and clutch replacement while I was at it. I ha e to say up until your well maintained engine seizes it is a wonderful car :-(
