I bought it late 2004 after crashing my '94 SL500 (183,000 miles). This car is seriously fun to drive. Passengers might complain about the very firm ride; but I am all smiles as I straighten every curve! My only real complaint is the Porsche tax, which makes the Mercedes tax look reasonable. However, this car has been the most reliable German car that I've owned. The rear main seal failed at 99,500 miles (replaced under 100,000 mile warranty), the ignition key housing cracked (not a warranty item), I replaced the clutch when the rear main seal failed, the cooling system leaked twice, and the ac condenser had to be replaced. This is car is not an Infiniti. Otherwise, routine maintenance.
German Supermodel

Car-girl analogies are a bit cliche but my experience with the 911 turbo is like a regular guy dating a German Supermodel. The first date is an intimidating experience that makes you feel twitchy, nervous, and out of place. After some time together, it becomes apparent that the supermodel is very special but also a "regular girl" with a wonderful personality. You do not have to drive fast to have fun in the turbo. With the windows down and the sunroof open you can hear the purr of the twin turbo flat 6 and you can't help but feel happy. I think I am beginning to understand the reasons behind the Porsche 911's legendary reputation.

Owing a Porsche is not a rational exercise.....it is completely emotional. Anyone who has ever dreamed of driving this wonderful piece of Teutonic engineering will not be disappointed. Yeah it costs a lot of money, but it is absolutely worth it.

Few products will ever be as iconic as this car. Nothing else is a 911. Period. The styling is classic and timeless. I suppose that's attributed to the rules and principles of aerodynamics, they won't change either.
Wow

This is my 3rd Porsche 911. I previously owned a 1986 C2, then a 1999 996 C4. I vow have a 2001 911 Turbo. There is absolutely no comparison between this car and any other 911. This is like driving a Ferrari. Only superbikes can keep up. It will put a huge grin on your face shortly followed by a loud YAHOO! I love it. I've had 911's for about seven years and this car for just under two years. The prices are very reasonable these days on used turbos. Go for it. I wouldn't recommend buying new, the depreciation in the first two years is brutal.
