The research I did found the IMS bearing problem affecting only 4% of the models produced. However if the IMS bearing fails you're looking at a very expensive repair, if not a replacement motor. That being said, once "repaired," the car runs "like a Porsche." It pulls strong, with anything above 4000 RPM bringing an ear-to-ear smile. The handling is spot on, as expected, from any Porsche auto. I plan to do some "hot laps" at the track this season, as that's the only place you can properly drive the car without being arrested!! Addendum 09/22/2017: I have now driven two different tracks, doing "hot laps": High Plains Raceway, Byers, Colo. and Aspen Motor Sports Park, Aspen Colo. The car ran strong and did NOT disappoint. The drive to/from Denver area to Snowmass added a very pleasurable 1180 miles to the clock. Very comfortable for a long trip and those mountain road curves were made for this car!!!

This is a more luxurious car than any of my other 911 Porsche that I have owned. It does't have exactly the same ferrocious acceleration as my 1998 C2S or my 1993 RS 911, but it is a more forgiving ride. It is more comfortable around town. It oozes with a formal, superior luxurious ride. I have found that if I switch off the PASM control, things get back to the Porsche feel that I am more accustomed to. This car has the full leather interior option and it feels, looks, and smells great. I also have the aero kit, it adds a fantastic look to the car.

Crisp handeling, acceleration is awsome, and an overall dream car. A must have before you die and leave this world, because you dont know if theres going to be one wherever your headed.

I bought a new car from Claridges in Fremont, California. The car was perfect. Never needed any dealer adjustment for any initial delivery defects. Totally perfect. Awesome convertible top - one button and/or key controlled. The fit/finish of this car is perfect and is better than a new Ferrari I bought. Needless to say it is much more drivable. Finally this car has outstanding performance - wonderful in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear - pulls very strongly at all rpm. Only so so point is that all my driving resulted in rear tire wear. When I owned a C4 the tire wear was more distributed - this car is a C2 and hence the rear tires suffered.
Hard to beat...

A great all around driver. Step on the gas even at 5th or 6th gear and just go, go. I can't think of a better choice yet! Handling of course is excellent, Fit and finish are outstanding. Interior is well laid out. Navi is a real plus. A blast to drive and a real head turner.
