I really want to drive this car to California, or at least to the track at Lime Rock. This car puts a grin on me from ear to ear. I was hesitant when I traded my 09 Turbo stick coupe for this PDK 911S Coupe, but I am totally pleased with the decision.No regrets. Its a better more sophisticated car. Far less of a go kart, much more stable, smooth and luxurious. Did I say fast, oh yes..useable fast and snarly when you push it.The front end is no longer bouncy and light. Far better exhaust note, like a ferrari, with pops, blips,growls and attitude. The PDK is impressive, and in sport plus it rocks The elec steering feels great. Rock solid and a snake in the turns. This is a drivers car!

$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

911 coupe s (991 version with PDK)

What a nice car! I have had the previous version with both cabriolet and coupe s and this version is significantly better than both. It's like having 2 cars in one. If you want to push it, it's a Porsche and responds instantly. If you want to drive sedately, then it can be comfortable and composed. The new steering and suspension are top notch; not too stiff, but keeps the car flat when pushed. The PDK is the best; forget about the manual. Only downsides are the price and no place for your sunglasses or phone. User interface is also not the easiest with the touchscreen, but that's just nitpicking. If you can afford it get it.

I view this as a collector car. Very fun to drive - you know it is special when you drive it. I have had mine up to 190 mph and it gets up there quick. I drive it on special occasions. the 4-wheel drive is awesome for extreme maneuvers. I want to have very minor paint correction done, clear bra put on it, have a ECU flash for 100 more hp and a K40 installed on it. Added yellow gauges, speed yellow seat belts and lighted door sills w/ umbrella holder
