Used 2008 Porsche 911 Convertible Consumer Reviews
The funnest car to drive
2500rpm's then HOLD ON-the power- handling-color options-fill my fickle, very picky needs! The leather, MUCH FINER than any Bentley- plus you do not have to plug it in at night (like Bentley -Aston-Ferrari- Lambo). The 150,000 is still 100,000 under the competition. Plus it ALWAYS STARTS! LOVE-LOVE IT.
Puts a smile on my face
Couple rattles here and there, everything still works even after 14 years! Basic maintenance and some TLC it's all this car needs. This is just the basic model, but still so much fun. Keep it clean and drive it.

How much for one that works
I have owned porsches since 1982, great cars, but what has happened to the quality. Buttons now fall off, electrical system fails - try losing your headlights at 65 on a windy road at midnight (I don't believe they switched to Lucas-but.....) and customer service that talks nice and does nothing. I just don't know, it's a blast to drive, but then again, it is a porsche, but then again, it's not the porsche I fell in love with
08 turbo cab tiptronic
Went from an 06 c2s cab stick, to an 08 turbo cab tip. Love the power on demand, glued to the road feeling on country roads. The turbo definitely has a more planted feel on the twisties, probably due to the 4 wheel drive and more weight up front. The c2s felt very light up front with its go kart kind of feel. The main shock to me is how civilized the power train is. Not much of a snarl. no one will hear you and even starting it up is not a noticable event. It unfortunately lacks a killer exhaust note. My 06 C2s started with a snarl which was rewarding. The Tip is smooth as glass, no smg here, and it goes like hell too, but will it fulfill the boy racer desire? Maybe.
08 C4S Cab
This is my 3rd Porsche and somehow they just keep getting better and better. It's an amazingly civilized car around town. You think it's a pretty quick car until you realize that, most of the time, you're hardly pushing on the accelerator - but when you "floor it', you better be ready to shift because it'll hit the redline before you can blink. The handling borders on absurd. Supple leather seats are very comfortable. There really is no substitute!
Turbo Cab 2008
Picked up "The Beast" a few days ago. Previously had a 2002 c2 cab. The power difference is exponential. This is the car I have been waiting for. Last car was tiptronic, This one is manual. I enjoyed the tip, but the manual is more fun.
The Best Super Car - 911 Turbo Cab Tip
This 08 Turbo cab is my 5th Porsche, went from 06 C2 cab manual to 08 turbo cab tip and love it!! Because of the awd, it handles corners and twisty roads far much better than my 06 c2-S cab, the power is unbelievable & beyond, it feels very solid & sticks to the road. I wish it has aggressive exhaust note or at least as good as the c-2 S w/ sport chrono package. I hope that I will not miss the stick shift feel and continue to enjoy the tip S on my new turbo. Will see!
Awesome Vehicle!
This Cab S is my fourth Porsche and my second 911, and the best one ever. This is truly a dream car and is so much fun to drive. The handling and speed is light years ahead of anything Porsche has put out on the streets and blows the completion away. The exterior and interior of this gem is perfect! Porsche I'm so proud of you; you done good!

Sweet
This car is a ton of fun to drive. I recommend the sport exhaust. Next car will be the turbo. I need to find a track as the speed and acceleration are intoxicating. I'm amazed at how smooth the engine is.
Best Turbo I’ve owned
This car was a dream to own and drive. Kept it for four years. Beautiful vehicle. Just wanted to try the Corvette z-06.

The Most Reliable Super Car Ever Built
480hp, Top Speed 194 mph, extremely reliable, can be a daily driver if you need it to be. Quiet yet powerful. Values increasing daily. Last of the real Porsches built by Porsche, not by Audi. Mezger GT1 engine which is also known to be "bullet proof". Great investment you can enjoy with great returns.

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!!
My review
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.
08
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.
