I've had this car for nearly 4 years. It has about 30K miles on it. When I bough it I was quite prepared to pamper it, have it constantly looked after and treat it more as a "weekend fun machine." I've done none of these things. It's as reliable as anything I've ever owned (mostly Hondas, Toyotas, etc. in recent years). I've done nothing except change oil & tires and it's my only car. I use it all year - including cold, with snow winter where the only sacrifice I make is using winter tires. The gas mileage has been a respectable 24+MPG during the entire time so far. Yeah, this is all that "practical" stuff supposedly not of interest to someone into these kind of goodies-read on
This car is good but not a legend !

I live in Manhattan and drive maybe once a week, probably much less in winter. The Porsche has a problematic battery that drains quite fast unless the engine is idled or the car is driven at least several times a week. I did not have the time to go and rev the engine every day and so went into battery problems. You can not stop the battery drain by disconnecting the battery. For safety reasons,the doors do not open if you disconnect the battery so there is no option but watch the battery drain ! So...? I had to sell my car. Be aware and alert of this problem. Porsche and numerous magazines that claim to "review" cars will not mention such facts to you.

The car was delivered to me with a defective suspension. The shipping blocks were not removed at delivery and the suspension is bent. In 4 months the dealer is still unable to get the parts needed to fix it. They believe that the car is so strangely damaged that new suspension parts may not repair it. While this car replaces a previous 996 I'm sorry that I bought this car since it's manufacture is horrendous.

Have had different cars in past, so I decided to try the 911 Carrera4 Cab. The look of class, success and prestige pour from this car. As I drive down the windy road, I see 5 Corvettes look in envy,but anyone can afford a GM. A Jag or I mean Ford pulls up and I smile. Then a Mercedes..I mean Mopar pulls in and I shake my head. When I spend $100,000 on a car, I dont want to see 10 of them on my way to the store,or wish I had another...Drive one, it is a peice of classful art.
