Should of saved my money and gotten an M3

2002 Porsche 911 Targa Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

The 911 is a nice car, but I believe it is one of those items that is better admired from a distance. The reliability of my Targa has been horrible, and the interior rattles as if it is going to fall apart. The interior design is a joke, and the ergonomics are even worse. There are a lot of little things wrong with the interior that show a lack of car, spaces that shouldn't be there, misspellings in the display, tape holders without tape, and nothing is easy to find. A BMW M3 offers the same performance for half the price, half the insurance, and half the maintenance. What was I thinking?

An unexpected Pleasure

Always fun to drive, even after 7+ years of ownership. I would recommend buying a set of winter tires to anyone who lives in a cold climate, especially if you expect to drive in snow regularly. Without them, the garage is the best place for the car! However, with a set of snows traction becomes very good & driving confidence climbs considerably. This is my ONLY car and I use it in all sorts of nasty weather. I don't baby it at all.

Good but Not Great

2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Rwd 2dr Cabriolet (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Fun to drive, head turning car. Broke camshaft at 2000 miles after perfect break in. Dealer replaced engine. Engine misses when hot at low rpm and oil pressure can fluctuate at sustained rpm. Dealer says computer diagnostics show everything normal. Alignment was incorrect from purchase date despite dealership review after 200 miles. Alignment now correct and handling is vastly improved. Even after the headaches, it may be the best performance and looks for the money.

After 2 years with my 911, my previous awe of this car and company has been crushed. Although the car is fun to drive fast, quality is atrocious. I've had the car in for 4 major engine repairs, including 3 repairs of the rear main seal. The car has now been at the shop over 2 weeks having its engine replaced. Porsche has made no efforts to replace car.

In January, I traded my 911 C4 for a 2002 Turbo, Seal Gray with black interior. It is fast, beautiful, fun to drive and the best handling sports car I have ever driven. The extra money is worth the extra kick of getting in my car.
