Used 2011 Porsche 911 Consumer Reviews
True Sports Car
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.

The best car ever made
This is my 4th 911 going back to a 1981 Targa. What a babe magnet! The 911 has no rival for handling (because of the rear engine which makes the front end light and nimble) and celebrity status. Short trips or long, it is a pleasure. Other drivers are intimidated, especially Vettes and even an occasional inexperienced Lamborghini driver. The 6 speed manual is the only way to go for a sports car. I drive it only in good weather and put on plenty of miles. What a great ride. The only drawback is the high price, but it is the entry fee to a special place.

Fun car to drive, but it's improvable!
A great acceleration machine and I really enjoy roaring to speed limit in 2 or 3 seconds after every first-in-line red light stop. Handling around sharp corners at high speed is very good. Impressively very stable and the sports seat holds my body pretty well. Definitely like the looks of the car when the top comes down. However I don't like the look of the spoiler when it comes up, because the stainless steel lift shafts do not match the ruby red color at all. Unfortunately there is no automatic shut off function for the head lights. This is so common in all the luxury cars and it surprises me that Porsche does not do it. Measured MPG=12. Bad.
911 Turbo
Right now i have a Ferrari F430 and I'm leasing this 911 turbo (after Vette Z06 leased over) when I was Young my dream car was 911 turbo. So here it is 911 turbo. There was NO "WOW". It's ok to me. I think Porsche needs new revolution. It seems to me they have not changed any big past 7-8 yrs. Come on, Nissan Skyline beats 911 turbo with half of the price . I know what everybody think "what about quality of the car" well, it's not that great for THIS PRICE RANGE, maybe if $40k (with opt.) less... Handling is outstanding (much better than Z06). Acceleration, brake, and quality of car are ok (based on the price).
2009 Carrera S
An excellent step in the evolution of this venerable marque. PDK adds measurably to the enjoyment of this auto, but "launch code" useful only for the track and then maybe not. Sport mode makes the auto shine. New PCM easy to learn and use. The new 997 is a good daily commuter for the performance minded.
