911 S Conv.,6 speed stick sh.

I traded in a 1989 Porsche 911 conv., which I liked a lot. The new one is in many ways a disappointment, although it also handles well. Has a great engine. It is loaded down with unneeded and and unwanted gadgetry, which distracts from the driving fun.The "integrated on board computer with stereo a.GPS" is awkward to use a. frustrating. No oil stick!!

This car has been my worst nightmare. Problems started at 400 miles and have only gotten worse. The car has severe cowl shake and I believe that lead to a broken driver side window.

This is a stunningly beautiful automobile. I don't drive it in the winter because I own other German cars that are more suited for snow, mud and the salted winter roads. The low milage is also due to the fact that I live at my summer home in MT, so I choose not to drive it down those dirt roads and you can't pick up more than 1 person at the airport. Never any trouble with it. Regular oil changes and of course tires as I burned thru a set of dreadful Yokohama Tires quickly till I switched to Bridgestone. It lives in a climate controlled garage and there is also a car wash in the building so I can hand wash it any time. I love this car and always find notes offering to buy it on the window. Its a beautiful Ruby Red metallic paint with a beige interior.

Worst exotic imitation ever!

This car is not an exotic at all! It is not worth the price. I own several other exotic cars, and this is the worst! I enjoy my BMW M Roadster better. Here's why. I am not a huge fan of the design. I was hoping to do a longer road test, since I "heard" that the performance was "good". But, the dealer would only let me try it on traffic laden streets for around 2.5 miles. I THOUGHT it might do better, and so I enthusiastically bought it. Now, I regret it. I sold the car around 5 months after I purchased it for around 65% of the original value. I bought a Mercedes Benz AMG, and it is 500% better. Do not get this exotic want-to-be!
