Just fun to drive

This is my 1st sports car and 1st convertible. I am very happy with my choice. Looks great, drives great, handles great and sounds great. PDK is the best tranny to date. Blows the DCT in BMW away. I should have gotten the steering wheel mounted controls, but other than that everything is perfect. In sports mode, this is an excellent sports car. Should be able to default the car to this setting vs. normal. Convertible top is quick, smooth and quiet. Has all of the amenities of a luxury car (provided you pay for them) and they all work well. Like they say, "Porsche, there is no substitute."

This is by far the most impressive car I've ever driven. It handles great, has great acceleration, and I love the PDK. It's efficient and may appreciate in value. Drives like a powerful go cart and doesn't feels small. Unlike the 991's this 997.2 feels like a sports car rather than a grand tourer.

09 C2 Cab (6 spd)

This is my first Porsche. Originally, looked at remaining '08 Boxsters then '08 911s and came away with great deal on '09 911. No problems other than speed limits and not being able to push to limits. I tried the PDK and it is sweet, but not engaging enough, so went with manual 6spd. Steering is precise, power is not overwhelming in the base model, but sufficient overall. Very comfortable as daily driver. Has been thirsty for oil; about a quart per 1000 miles.

Turbo is Top

2009 Porsche 911 Turbo 2dr Coupe AWD (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Hyperspace performance coupled with supreme handling, comfort and practicality. This vehicle is simply sublime. It draws a straight line through the laws of physics and laughs in the face of Italian Supercars, American muscle and Japanese wannabes. Untouchable!
