Great
This is my 3rd Porsche. The first one I "totaled" in an accident with a van. I walked away from the accident unhurt. The van pulled out of me and I slammed into its side at 40 mph. The safety features built into the car are functional. My current Porsche is their new 2009 with their automatic transmission. It's great. The power is there when you want it. This transmission allows my wife to drive. She was intimidated with the older manual transmission. One can manually shift with the steering wheel paddles, but the car's computer can handle the shifting requirements better than the driver. And besides, with the auto trans. you get better performance.
Great ride, poor quality and reliability
Leased a car in April of 2009. After 1,500 miles had to replace a front strut. After it was replaced there appeared an annoying shaking and vibration in the steering wheel. Went to 2 different dealerships and no one can fix the problem. Otherwise, car offers amazing ride, especially in Sport mode. Recommend this car if you do not mind spending at the service shop at least twice a month.

Amazing!
This is the best car I have ever owned. Not one problem after 9 months. I love driving it and love how it looks!
Adrenaline?
Bought it used but low miles. I've read that performance actually improves after 5k miles when the engine is broken in. After some deliberation, decided to get the pdk with sport chrono package. Glad I did. Took it on some backroads where we could open it up. Put it in sport mode, punched it. Wow. Nothing like I'd ever experienced. My girlfriend took a turn, decided to try "launch mode." put it in sport plus mode. Foot on the break, she revs the engine, the car is lurching, wanting to go. She reluctantly pushes the tach to 6500 rpm, car is screaming. The console lights up "launch mode active" and off we go. It takes about 15 minutes to get her blood pressure back to normal.
2009 911 S COnvertible
This car was fun for a while, but it is a maintenance headache and the build quality is poor. Everything is ridiculously expensive to fix, and things go wrong all the time. The car had electrical problems because apparently the car (convertible) is not designed to deal with leaves (which clogged the drains ). Really, leaves?? Never had these issues with numerous other convertibles. The trim is cheap and the the lether just wears off from low use (I have less than 20K miles on it). Now the latest: my tail light went out. They tell me it is not just a bulb but is soldered and as such requires replacement of the tail light assembly at a cost of over $1000 (not a typo) ...crazy!
