responsiveness: an extension of self

Thus is foremost a driver's care. The handeling is superb. It can be used for an everyday driver as well as a weekend sports car. While I purchased the convertibe triptronic, I would recommend a fully optioned coupe from a value standpoint. One of the few cars purchased where I can't wait to purchase my next Porsche. You will be happy, very happy.

This is my first Porsche. I spent part of my childhood in Stuttgart as an army brat and said one day I'll own one of those cars! The day finally arrived and it was well worth the wait. Performance is awesome, limited only by the driving abilities of the driver. I now have total closure with the old addage of "Porsche, there is no substitute." Excellent vehicle for the true driving ethusiast, who has lots of loot to lay out fot this worthy babe!

Performance to die for, quality to wish

2003 Porsche 911 Turbo AWD 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

With the x-50 horsepower package this car @ 450 hp has all the performance and high end torque you'd ever need unless you're an F-1 driver. The car has immense practical driveability as an everyday car. Rattles - a service department that has a hard time listening and a car that died with a mechanical failure at 4,000 miles leaves a little bit of a bad taste though-maybe a Ferrari next time?

Poorsh Quality - Planned Maintenance Lemon

Never had a Porsche before and once I sell this will never again. Look, it's bad enough to worry about an IMS bearing failure destroying your 80k mile engine - what do you do with the car after that? Sell it for parts? What annoys me most is the poor engineering and materials. Broken cup holder, floor mat holders breaking free, brake system overhauls, both rear window regulators fail to 2k a pop, the leaking seal, poor radiator and hose design, cheap plastic interior parts - broken visor cover along with yellow dingy headlight covers which cannot be sanded off. At only 80k miles mind you. I love the car shape and I can take my kid in the jump seat too, but it seems that with the controlled parts pipeline (no aftermarket) and cheap design, the best option is to sell it and never go back. A Vette, Z, Miata or other is a far better option.

Over 7500 miles, including two driving events at Mid-Ohio sports car course and no problems. Every time I get in the car, it is a joy to drive.
