Used 2014 Porsche 911 Consumer Reviews

A Porsche Lovers Car

Driving my 911 is the highlight of my day. My first Porsche was a 1995 Porsche 993 and my 991 is every bit as fun to drive. I don't buy Porsche for comfort, tech gimmicks, nor appropriately sized cup holders, I get that from my Lexus sedan. I own a Porsche for its racing history, performance, and responsiveness. The 991 handles as superbly on a road trip at 100 mph as it does on the streets in traffic. The acceleration for this base model is more than enough for where I live in the suburbs. I would recommend the S or Turbo if you need more speed or want to impress your friends. The "rough ride" should tell you that you're driving a true sports car, not an German sedan that goes fast in a straight line while you search the web and talk on the cell phone. Porsche enthusiast will appreciate the value in the 911, all others need not apply.

My New 2012-- 911 Carrerra S PDK Coupe

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!

It's a street-able race car, not a Bentley

You don't buy any 911 thinking it's a practical family car! It's an expensive car that costs a lot for parts, service, etc. I've had 2, both 2014 a CarerraS and a Turbo S. I have never had 1 problem!! I was sent to the Porsche drivers school and found out the cars were all brand new (when I was there) and here's the break in: turn them over to student drivers who don't know proper track driving and drive the cr@p out of them. I was told they sell them to selected dealers with full warranty/extended if the buyer purchases it, and all they do is change the oil and tires. Their purchasers know of this arrangement and there is apparently a waiting list for these cars. To me that spoke volumes. My turbo at the track had 139 miles on it (I could be confusing models) and there was not 1 issue the entire day I was there. If you can afford the price and the prices that go along with such a car, IMHO you can't beat the experience if you like German sports cars. My dealership has an incredibly high repeat customer base. If the cars were "bad" none of the above would be true. I'm sure there are not so great cars that get built, but to act like this is the norm is just wrong. Again I own 2 2014s, and have driven them to death. I bought a Macan based on my 911 experience and while I've only had it a few months, it is built like a tank, with a surprisingly comfortable ride.

It's A Porsche...Enough Said.

This is hands down one of the finest automobiles available. It is my second 911 and it is simply the most enjoyable car to drive. It is crazy fast and handles like a dream.

What a superb car!

A (exceptionally good) car for the track or very good roads. Not designed to be driven on bad roads, unless you love to visit your back doctor!

17k miles and running strong...

There's a 335i, a 997 GT3 (track), a Macan S and a BMW X3 (dog car) in the stable.... My daily driver was a 997 C2S that 103k miles on it and decided to upgrade to a a used 991. Purchased a 14 991, guards red cab, with sports chrono, all the options and sports design package. Sticker was 119,500. Paid under 70k. For the last 7k miles, including a couple of long hauls, over a thousand miles, the car ran like a top. Comfort, plenty of speed, and great mileage. I truly enjoy the new PDK, first automatic in over forty years of Porsches... If you're looking for a zoom-zoom, stop light to stop light car, save your self a few bucks and get the 335i... but be aware that six starts to cough once over a 100k miles. The non turbo sixes do not... they run forever. I wonder what the new 991.2 turbo's will do at high mileage... This 991 will be in the stable for a while... get the rag top...

Dream performance

Accessories or add ons affect cost and resale value tremendously. Porsche is a legend. Great all around driver.

2013 911 S Cabriolet

:::::::::::::::::::::::UPDATE: :::::::::::::::::::::: PORSCHE Corporate (Atlanta) does NOT appear to regulate it's dealerships in the order of customer service in any way what-so-ever. I've had nothing but problem after problem with BOTH local dealerships to have simple services performed. They are impossible to get a hold of and rarely even answer the phone at the service departments. This is common to 2 separate Porsche dealerships in the Puget Sound (WA) area. Absolutely incredible to spend over $100K on a car and deal with this level of service. The car is great but this was my 3rd Porsche and by far the worst interaction with the brand in 15 years. ENGINE: The 400 hp 3.8 is flat out (yes flat) incredible. The throttle response is immediate and the sound is roaring... when you want it to be. Reliability is second to none. Average cost of maintaining it is relative to my 2007 Cayman S, around $1,200 a year. INTERIOR: The refinement of the interior is stunning over the 997 generation. Controls in the cockpit are well laid-out minus the Navigation address input which sucks stupid like a 2005 Infiniti. Aside from that, I found the cabin to be luxurious, stylish, crisp and refined to the highest standard. 14 way seats, cooled seats and the amazing cabin audio from the engine's "symposer" system is an orgasmic combination!!! Add the "Sport Exhaust" option with the top down and you'll never look at your 'love life' the same again. Transmission? The PDK is what I own.. with Sport Chrono (sport plus) 'paddle shifters'. If you don't have sport chrono on your 991 build then just get a 350Z and give it to your wife. Kidding aside, the difference between Sport Chrono and "sport" mode is ridiculously evident. It's like pouring gasoline on a birthday cake... spectacular! The PDK is faster than any manual shifter on the planet, more reliable and unless you're a heel-toe rock star on the track it's just common sense. Cabriolet or Coupe'? The looks are stunning on both. Thanx to the cabrio's magnesium panelled convertible top the continuity of the 991 lines are preserved in rigid form. The available color contrast of body and canvas top can make your 911 stand out drastically. I would suggest dumping the plain fence board wing for ducktail (sport design tail) on the cabrio... it looks much more aggressive. But, no matter what you decide, the cabriolet is an entirely different creature under the sun. It simply screams FREEDOM! You can't beat that no matter what hardtop Porsche you have.

Porsche 991 911S

$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

Porsche has thought of everything and aced it

Every element of the car is near perfect. Beauty, performance, luxury, reliability. Cost is prohibitive to many, but if you can afford it get one and you’ll never look back. The 911 is one of the most refined vehicles ever created and each generation improves upon the previous, though that is debated by some. Sunroof was a surprising must for me, and I’ll never get one without - for what that’s worth to your buying decision. I’ve had a Honda Prelude (when I was younger), Acura, Lexus, Ford Mustang, and a Cayman. 911 smokes them all by a mile. Cayman S does give it some competition. Even the base 911 is a super car with everyday driving aptitude.

Fun car to drive

We have a 2013 Porsche 911 cab (not an s). It is as good a quality as we have ever had (had over 100 cars). Fun to drive, good ergonomics. It is a sports car and rides as such ... not a gt tourer. Weakness is that for $115 thousand, it should have a backup camera, satellite radio and key-less-go standard. It does not. So the car is rather unsophisticated. As of Dec 31, 2013 we have 8500 miles on the car.

Deutschland Express

Ist sports car outside of American muscle cars. This pocket rocket rocks! Getting in and out is a bit of a struggle for a 71 yr. old but once you are seated, it is very comfortable. This Carrera GTS 4 holds the road like fly paper. Running the Smoky's or the popular Dragon, you are in control all the way. Get lots of complements on the car and Fall runs with the top down is a rush. Granted there is the sticker shock factor but what engineering, the six speed manual is a short smooth throw. 1st gear winds up fast, second is when she starts to bite, third, you are on to warp speed and the rest is velvet. There is a Porsche club (PCA) where you meet some great people and go on drive outs and over nighters as well as social nights. In all it is a great car, if your a gear head or just like pop out the pipe, you will not be disappointed with this car.

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.

Amazing Car

Expensive, Exhilarating, Particular. This car is an amazing driver's vehicle. It does all the things you expected ot to extremely well including acceleration, braking and the engine sounds wonderful. It is a sports car so it does not have a soft ride, lots of luggage space nor is it easy to get into or out of. But it will be the highlight of your day. I will have this one for quite awhile. You should buy one, Now.

911 Carrera Base Model/Not worth it/Go elsewhere!

They talk about heritage, everyday daily driver, prestige, bla bla bla. But unbeknownst to all your daily consumers, The 911's that are worth looking into are ones that are unaffordable to your typical middle class business man such as myself. My particular car was packaged with 20 inch S wheels, 14 way seats, bose, and sunroof. Being a BMW person, I wanted to try something different. After test driving the base 911, it seemed more than adequate. But what I learned later on was this car absolutely sucked! This car was absolutely the worst purchase ever. The lack of TECH, Comfort, Service, and Performance made me dread the payment and the drive every single day. Here's the breakdown: TECH: The car has none. The user interface is so outdated that it made my sister's entry level Lexus look like a futuristic car. Navigation is useless, all buttons are very small and hard to identify, front gauges are blocked by the steering wheel, making it difficult to see how much gas you have and such. Automatic Start stop actually eats more gas then it saves, and for such an expensive car, you would think that at least parking sensors would come standard. Comfort: NONE. It would be idiotic to take this on a long distance trip. You will find your lower back and legs feeling very sore. Getting out of the vehicle is straining and frustrating. Service: NONE. There is no complimentary service whatsoever, and warranty only lasts for two years. Also car requires service every 10k miles so you will find yourself visiting the stealership or mechanic quite often, spending a lot of money. Performance: The base 911 is not what it claims. at 350 HP and a light body weight, it is underachieving. I went head on with a BMW 335i Coupe and got burned. Literally. Gas consumption is worse then my SUV. No need to elaborate there. Don't get me wrong, if you're in the market for a Porsche 911, its a fantastic car. But just be sure not to get brand new base model. It is way smarter to purchase a pre-owned S or Turbo. Nowadays, the competition eats base 911's for breakfast. Other factory tuned cars come Cheaper,smarter, faster, comfortable, and nicer looking. Final thoughts, buy used. Do not lease or purchase new. And be sure to test drive the competition.

2014 911 Turbo S

This car is so fast it’s ridiculous. It’s my daily driver. It puts a smile on my face every day. This is my ninth 911 and by far and away the best. When you do a proper launch control, it almost rips your face off. Nothing like it.

991 buyer beware

If you lease this car,you can get ride of it due to Porsche 12 month pull ahead program..in 15 months of ownership,my front seat came u stitched twice..PCM replaced twice,low oil light came on engine over heating,on way home from dealer,poor Bluetooth..really only works with I phone..which I got for car!! Finally when I turned on heat..NONE..zero...about as bad as my 1982 911sc with heater boxes..I raced to dealer ASAP pulled ahead and went back to boxster S....so much better...more fun..the stiff ride due to 46PSI rear tires made every crack feel like a pothole..BANG!! Boxster quiet ...for price difference..the Boxster is 40K Less..and has 50% more trunk...BTW..there are great deals on boxsters here in conn./Ny..Mine listed at 83k..leased at 69k..only $114.00 down.not a misprint ..7500 miles a year Including maintain program thru Porsche...including all taxes..$844.95 pm..residue $50400.00..I had two dealers at this price... (1200.00 cost)

A Porsche lover’s Porsche

A REAL 911 lovers car. Mine PDK, simply awesome. Great drivers car. My 4th Porsche and my favorite.

997 GTS Cabriolet is AWESOME!

Great car! Can’t recommend anything above it. Porsche builds fantastic cars; I now have three of them. The combination of value, performance and beauty make the 911 GTS cabriolet one of the Best Buy’s of your life!

Great 911

Lots of fun!!

Black / Black PDK 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S

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

Best ever

Clean as a whistle

Awesome

This car is amazing and just keeps increasing in value.

2013’s Turbo S cabriolet is a extremely rare 911

Porsche 911 turbo s is The Best car money can buy. In 2013 Only 200 Turbo S cabriolet were produced. Best car on the planet!

40 years later....

My first Porsche was a 1973 911 T and I have owned five more. This 991is the by far the best I’ve owned and may have convinced me to upgrade to a 991.2

2013 911 4S AWD Cabriolet.....Simply EXHILIRATING!

The best all round sports car. Excellent cornering and braking ability. When exiting the corners the 4S seems to squatt down, dug in and shot forward seamlessly. I love driving my 2013 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet @ 40-55 Miles/Hr on the winding roads. I have also used the track few times. Amazing mileage too for this powerful engine although I am not concerned about it. As of March 2024 Still going strong with less than 23K miles. The experience is SIMPLY EXHILERATING!!!!!

I'm on my 9th 911. No other car comes close

I've owned 911's for years. Its got the highest resale value of any sports car and most cars in general, so you are not getting hurt financially. unique rear engine , that has been perfected over the years. Its iconic , curvy beautiful body is instantly recognized. Its serviceable, and does not need any more maintenance than a normal car. performance is on point, sports car handling , with superb comfort , able to take long road trips in my 911. decent mileage. solid vault like quality. i love the all wheel drive. seats my kids in a pinch. sounds incredible. nothing i dont love about my 911. get one ... you will be hooked.

A Dream Come True

I tremendously enjoy driving my 911. It is the base model but the upgrades like the Porsche Active Suspension Management system, upgraded seats, 20 inch 911S wheels, and sound system, make it special. The 350 hp 3.4 L engine provides just enough power and speed to bring a smile to my face. On the highway I get 30-31 miles per gallon. The 7 speed transmission with the high ratio 7th gear reduces the engine noise to quiet the cabin and rival any luxury sedan. My Porsche is the 911.1 which is the last of the normally aspirated cars and it’s hard to beat the throaty exhaust sound when running up through the gears. I’m very happy with my Porsche and plan to keep it for a long time.

Best car I ever owned
