The Porsche 911 is the finest auto out there bar none. It is fast off the line and can out handle most professional race cars. The sporty looks really turn heads and maintanance is not as costly as it is on most Europeansorts cars. Own at least one in your life time!

Having owned a number of sports cars over the years, and having lusted after many others, the biggest downside to the 911 is that you no longer lust for anything better. The car does almost everything unbelievably well. The 911 provides race car acceleration and handling, while offering a fairly comfortable ride and interior, a really usable trunk (so you can drive to the store), a wonderful level of fit and finish, excellent gas mileage and reliable performance. Besides all of the above, it's flat out gorgeous.

I've had all kinds of cars and many Porsches over the years. I race a Porsche 944 competitively and this is my weekend toy. Despite some of the negatives that you might hear about the 996, these are awesome, modern Porsches. This car is fantastic in every way. Invest in a remote top from Wilhelmy and operate the top from the key fob. I can't live without mine!
The Amazing Porsche GT2

The Porsche GT2 is the second fastest Porsche, only slower than the Carrera GT. I just test drove the 2007 turbo and the GT2 still has it beat. The weight and rear wheel drive make it a quicker car for much less money than the next 2007 Turbo. For the biggest bang for your buck in super car performance, try the GT2. You will be amazed!

This is a gorgeous fun car. I prefer it any day to my E55 AMG (which is MUCH quicker) - nothing has the cache of the Porsche. Top-down and it doesn't get any better on a warm afternoon in the Asheville hills.

Great car to drive, but rattles more than my Dodge pickup. Two weeks at the dealer did not fix the rattles, only created new ones. Now I know why Porsche has become the most profitable car company. I won't buy another. Don't buy a new Porsche if there is no dealer in your town. I'm in the market for a MB.

This is the best handling car I have ever driven, with it AWD, 18" low profile tires and Porsche stability management system,it makes even an average driver like me look good. The 320HP with tons of torgue helps too. Very quick an agile machine.
Pricey...but worth it!

Waited years to own one...it's been worth it! Power range is remarkable..Variocam system allows engine to pull like a freight train right up to redline. Handling is nimble, steering quick and light..brakes are outstanding, inspires confidence. Gearing allows plenty of pull/passing power even in 6th. Flawless so far. Tends to burn oil more than most cars (1 qt. per 800 miles..the $5 a quart stuff..) Back seats are handy for kids <10 years old...adults, forget it!

If you are looking for the beautiful grand tourer, the sporty daily driver, and the aggressive weekend racer, look no further than the Porsche 2002 C4S.

What can I say more. The title says it all! I finally got my dream car and it was absolutely worth the wait! I have a triple black 911 and I look forward each week for the Fridays, the Saturdays, and the Sundays to take her out for a run!! Thank you Porsche!!
Great once you get passed the IMS Bearing :-)

I purchased the car 2 years old in 2004 and have 65K miles on it. The only issue I have with this generation of Porsche is the IMS bearing. I had mine done as I am going to keep the car indefinitely. It was a $4,000.00 job and had the clutch done at the same time as its only parts at that point.

Engaging. Great torque and HP. Super fun to drive. Bonus is the cassette deck. I’m planning on doing some mods. The 996 seems like the car to easily make mods.

Recently acquired a 2002 C2 Cab, the 996.2 generation. If you go back a few years to the air cooled 993 generation, your looking at more than double in cost. Jump ahead to 2005 and the 997’s your gonna pay 25k more. Is it because of the IMS bearing and RMS. I did not follow recommendation to have mechanic look at the car prior to purchase yet luck was on my side, took to mechanic to replace bearing and found out bearing went in 2014, engine replaced at 35k miles… 20k less than what the odometer read when I bought it. Replaced the rear main seal (was starting to leak), the water pump (original) and a few other minor items. Be prepared to spend a few K … an almost 20 year old car is going to need something, runs and drives amazing, Is faster, stiffer and quicker than the 993’s. Time will tell with future pricing

For 8 years 'Sparky' has been my every day ride. I am passionately in love with this car. I bought him with 8K miles - now has 68K miles. I look forward to the drive every time I slide into the seat. Pros: If you love manual tranmission, it slides easily into gear and the engine is responsive. It is fun on the straight-away and great in traffic. While it is small enough to easily park, there is a surprising amount of room inside. I've filled him with plants, groceries -- more than I should and surprised what I could. The door storage bins are deep. When it was stolen, the fools didn't know how to drive manual so only went a couple of miles before blowing the clutch (thanks for the new clutch!) While it is not comfortable, the option to shove someone in the back for a short trip is nice in an emergency. We are old, but he still turns some heads now and then. Best of all, he continues to appreciate! Cons: It is NOT a road trip car, nor is it a car for a passenger - especially someone tall or wide. You feel every bump. Creature features are minimal and too loud to use hands free with my phone. Interior trim has issues - paint on the stick chips easily, trim has a clear coat that flakes and scratches easily. The in dash cup holder won't last ($600 to replace) so I bought an aftermarket that fits in the ash tray nicely. My ears pop when the sunroof is open if I don't crack the window. The A/C had a spongey something that comes out in dime sized chunks that has diminished over time. (no impact to the A/C functionality) He goes through back tires every 15K miles, front tires 25 miles.(however, there may be some user contribution to that. Sparky and I like to own the road!) I still have the original radio, unwilling to cut the dash to replace it. (Get to use my old cassettes from high school!) The original rims are a pain to clean up. For a 22 year old sports car, the upkeep is affordable. I did the preventative O ring bearings replacement ($3500) then spend about $1500/year on something - starter, engine mounts (recommend preventative), a couple of minor oil leaks, some suspension repairs (likely from my old, potholed streets), new passenger window motor, ABS sensor, battery..... basic stuff. Oil change once a year and tires every couple of years. Just a siimple, solid, beautiful ride! I will drive this car until it won't go another mile, then replace it with the same.

I've had my 911 Turbo for 3 weeks and love every bit of it. The car is very fun to drive...it handles very well! It's an experience like no other. My car has the new Porsche Power Kit Option which boost the HP from 415 to 450.
The best damn sports car...EVER!

I traded in my 2002 996 Targs for the 2002 996 Turbo w/ X50 power package. This car is scary fast and will literally thow you back into your seat. 'Riding on rails' handling and super performance. If you can afford it, buy it. You will have no regrets.
Great car!

The best all-around sports car you can buy! The exterior speaks for itself. The interior is comfortable, set up great for driving, and (with full leather) looks and feels expensive. The interior design is not beautiful, however. Performance is amazing. The car pulls acceptably from 2000 rpm, strongly from 3500, and like a rocket over 4300. Great exhaust note. Braking and handling are incredible. Even with all this performance, around town the C4S is quiet. The interior is roomy. The ride is firm but nice. Noise is not a factor at normal speeds. The stick shift is smooth and effortless. This car can easily be your daily driver, and it is for me.
the best and getting better

Just traded my '99 996 for the '02 model-- the 20bhp and retuned exhaust kick butt and make this even better than the previous model. As always the paint and fit/finish are flawless-- the car is a real head-turner every place I go. Porsche knows how to build the best street legal race car that can still hold up to the rigors of a daily driver. I get a smile on my face everytime I slip behind the wheel and my left hand cranks the engine.
best car , reliable
