Traded in 07 Turbo Coupe for new 09 Turbo cab. Extremely happy with it so far. New PCM is fantastic improvement. With current market conditions, got a used car price on a brand new car (25K off). The coupe was great on the track but my passengers didn't appreciate the ride. The 07 also had a clutch issue. This car is gorgeous, sexy and fun with some level of comfort and amenities that a car at this price should have. I have owned several BMW's, SL55 AMG, Cayman S and Turbo Coupe, this is my favorite. I test drove and considered Ferrari 360 and 430, although they have the sound and exclusivity, you can't compare reliability, cost of service and usability of this everyday supercar.

Awesome vehicle! Just got it and still breaking it in. Got a great deal on a new 09'c2s 6-sp. As opposed to many exotics, it is fairly low maintenance (annual or 12k), good on gas (~20-25 mpg), can hold 2 small kids in the rear fairly comfortably for short trips (?family car, ha ha ha..), and reliability.

I'm a 40 year old investment banker. I have owned many supercars throughout my life such as Maserati GranTurismo S, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 458 Italia (recently traded in), Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8 5.2, and Mercedes-Benz SLS. I just recently bought a Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. It by far blows out all of the other cars. It is the best supercar I have ever owned. Believe it or not, people stare, people take photos, and people comment as much as they did with all of the other cars. Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is a real attention grabber. It has things that the other cars don't such as comfort, a lot of speed, and good looks. Stats say it take 4.7 to 60, it take 3.9 sec.

Dream Car meets expectations

This is my third Porsche ('87 Carrera Cab and then a 2000 Boxster which I gave to my son-he still has and it's in mint condition- not a ding on it). I love the car, the power, fit and finish. The new display for navigation, XM etc. is easy to use as is the multi-function steering wheel. The ride is much better than expected. Porsche really put it all together with the new DFI engine; PDK and cosmetic updates. And the car is simply gorgeous with the top up or down. Definitely a keeper. I have driven it way more than I thought I would...it's more than just a weekend car.

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."
