This is an amazing car. I have never enjoyed drive a vehicle as much as my 911. The acceleration is as sophisticated as one would expect from a Porsche. It's only a beast when you want it to be.

$70,000 for a 2012 used car seems excessive. The car proved to be pampered by previous owner and a very high quality vehicle. It is purely for entertainment of anyone who likes excessive technology and electronics, although quickly dated. There a lots of buttons and gizmos seem unnecessary. Although understated, the vehicle intimidates jerks on the road and gets annoying attention. Having owned at 911SC for many years, this car brings back memories, but pampers drivers. I think the car appeals to old men with means. Excessive road noise, automatic stereo plays whenever car is re-started, no oil dipstick (only automated display) and no access to engine are annoying. 4 years later - no issues, reliable and pleasure to drive. Do my own simple oil changes with nothing else needed. New 992 models offer little more than what this car offers. 2022 and the car still looks and operates like new. No issues and value has increased. This is the perfect model: 400 hp, normally asperated, with PDK. I have no desire up purchase a newer model. The car is well made, has modern features, extremely reliable, cheap to own, with great gas mileage. I'm certain it one of the best models, new models look and drive the same. Update: still as attractive and reliable as ever. I use it as an economical daily driver. Continue to use as daily driver after 6 years, it's reliable, comfortable, and excellent MPG. A practical choice indeed

Just bought a new 09 911S cab. Had an 08 911S cab but traded it on an M3 cab at the end of 08. Since had an 09 Jag xk cab and an 09 Jag xkr cab (ok, call me crazy with all these cars). But getting back in this 911S is like coming home. First thing I did was take a cloverleaf onto a highway at 70 mph without leaning and quickly realized what I had been missing. Jag xkr has more curb appeal, but this is just the perfect car, especially with a six speed. Car is much quicker than my 08...clear improvements to the 997 and 1/2. My wife doesn't believe that I will keep this car for a long while given my history, but I will win this bet. I am home.
Great Car

Came from an 04 BMW M3 w/ SMG. That was a great car but SMG was primitive. Porsche is more comfortable and seems to handle better. Also quicker to accelerate. BMW was more "involved". More mechanical and more intense. Porsche is more relaxed but simply responds the more it is pushed. Overall a better performing car. BMW was "edgy" so seemed to be a real performance car...a race car for the street. Porsche seems more sophisticated. I really need to adjust my attitude. The feeling is the limits of the car are far beyond anything I can (safely) approach on the street. I need more time, then I will hang the tail out on some turns. An amazing automobile.
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.
