A high-performance car for daily driving

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7M)
30 of 30 people found this review helpful
Six months into my 2017 Graphite Blue Metallic 911. Got the Sports Chrono Package, Sports Exhaust (a must), and PDK. No sunroof to reduce weight and keep the center of gravity closer to the pavement. I drive the car daily. Very comfortable (if you're not overweight), but not soft on the road. If you want soft, get an old Cadillac. The new turbo motor actually gives better low-end power than previous 911s, allowing one to exit corners swiftly. Little lag in Normal mode, but non-existent in Sports mode or the track-worthy Sports Plus mode. Whistling, swooshing, and rumbly exhaust every time there's a downshift is downright addictive. Steering, perfect. Visibility, perfect. Handling, perfect. My third Porsche. I've owned all the following: Audi R8 V10, Lambo Gallardo, Aston Vanquish, Viper, Lotus Elise, M6, but the new 911 gives me the thrill of a near-supercar on a daily basis. If you can get one, you won't be disappointed.

Don't hesitate. The best car made. I drive it every day, and have literally no complaints. Traded in a 2015 911S for the new 2017. So light and nimble, and love the turbo. The new styling additions are just beautiful. Worth every penny, and such a joy to drive!

The 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera is an Amazing vehicle. I've owned several Porsches and by far, the new 911 is the Best! The car is quick, handling is precise, and very comfortable for a 2-dr sport car. There's more room is this vehicle than you expect for a true Sport Car. Firing up the engine, and you'll fall in love with the sound with or without Sport Exhaust. Every time I drive my new 911, I tell myself "It doesn't get better than this". Inside and out this vehicle is a Perfect 10.

2017 Porsche 911 Targa 4S 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7M)
15 of 16 people found this review helpful
Owned a 2014 911 Cabrio for two years. Loved it, but a bit shy on torque/performance and lacked some essential safety equipment. Loved it with top down, but concerning blind spots with top up, particularly difficult to park without rear view camera. Targa reintroduced shortly after my '14 purchase; loved the lines on that car from first glance. Took delivery of a stunning graphite grey/white '17 Targa 4S last week. Amazing how different this new car is. Instant throttle response from any RPM, tracks even better than the '14, and new blind spot warning system coupled with rear view camera has removed any slight issues I had with the '14. A pleasure to drive whether softly cruising or driving hard. A true sport car that is an able touring driver combines to make an overall driving experience unlike any other. A head-turner worth every penny. At 6'4" this car has front room unlike any other I tested (tried them all).

Sublime

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7M)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
Got this car with just under 6,000 miles on it and put 16,000 more miles on it in my first six months of ownership. It is sublime. Driving it like a normal car in normal mode, it feels . . . normal. In part because the automatic PDK transmission revs and shifts gears at fairly low RPMs in normal mode, there is definite, noticeable lag when you punch the accelerator while the car is already in motion. In sport mode, the suspension becomes more taught and it revs a bit higher, and now when you floor the accelerator while the car is already moving, there is only very minimal lag and the car roars to life with little hesitation. Finally, in sport-plus mode, the engine revs significantly higher still and gear shifts with the PDK occur at a much higher RPM. In this mode, when you punch the accelerator while the car is moving, I have detected no lag whatsoever and the car instantaneously leaps forward like a bullet and just keeps accelerating. I got the Carrera 4 GTS because I felt it was the sweet spot in the 911 model range--a great daily driver (and I do drive it almost every single day) that is a joy to take my kids to school in or to use for runs to the grocery store. But with 450 HP and 405 lb-ft of torque, it has as much power as I can ever imagine wanting in a sports car. From a dead stop and using launch control, the car hits 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. And when you put the pedal to the metal, the car instantly transforms from Jekyll into Hyde--suddenly becoming an untamed monster. I have hit 187 mph and the car was still accelerating when I had to let up on the gas because I was running out of track. But the real thrill with this car is not high speeds as much as the phenomenal way it handles, especially on twisty back roads. As anyone who owns this car will testify, the way that it hugs the road while cornering at speed is thrilling. It is almost as if the car is glued to the road. This is particularly the case in warm weather and with high performance summer tires. But with high performance winter tires, the car also is a handling marvel on snowy and icy roads. This past winter, my son and I took it on a three-day road trip in the middle of a protracted winter storm, and the way it handled over four different Washington state mountain passes was mind-boggling. As cars and trucks cautiously ambled along in the right lane to avoid sliding out of control, I spent the three days flying past everyone in the left lane with confidence that only grew with each passing mile about the all-wheel-drive's handling competence in winter conditions with the snow tires. But regardless of weather, this car is just a sheer joy to drive under any conditions. Immediately after purchasing it in Florida, I drove 3,300 miles in three days all the way to Seattle, and I was wide awake and in absolute bliss the entire time. This car delivers so much joy to the driving experience, I am so glad I got the car, cost notwithstanding. I bought it to drive it--not garage it--and I plan to pile on the miles with at least one family member with me as much as possible. Taking good care of it, I hope to be able to drive it for many years to come.

I bought a base c2 with a manual transmission. Outstanding performance. The 7 speed manual makes all the difference. I had a 2014 c4s before with a PDK and the new c2 is a better car in my opinion. It is faster and is more responsive. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Just passed 35,600 miles a few weeks ago. Still a dream to drive. Still turns heads wherever I go. I had the Fabspeed exhaust installed 2 years ago. Just the right amount of noise for a sports car. I replaced my tires with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S all around at 30k miles. Amazing tires. They should have supplied them from the factory!! Interior is holding up fine except for some wear on my drivers seat... Thinking of a 2020 992 911 Turbo but they won't be available for at least 6 months.. Saw my first 2020 992 the other day.. I like it.. New 2021 911 Turbo arrived in December.. Amazing car.. This '17 911 Has been sold..

Although pricey, the base 911 is super fast and comfortable and gets 30 mpg on the road. Unless you are a race car driver, 370 HP is already more than needed, but really fun if you need to merge or pass or change lanes at a stoplight.

I'd really give it a 4.5. Had the car for about 5 months. I've owned Caymans in the past and liked the mid engine layout and the more balanced handling. The 911 is more of a GT car, a bit quieter. Still great performance but you can definitely feel the weight in the rear. High quality throughout though some of the tech is not great. One bug so far with the automatic headlight control. Fingers crossed due to Porsche history of major engine design issues; IMS bearing, bore scoring. Don't like that there are almost no high performance all season tires available since I live where it's around 30 or below in the mornings about half the year and I'd like a high performance year round tire. But that's not the car's fault. Inconvenient location of USB and AUX inputs (glove box, center console). Dash kind of cluttered due to one gauge poition being used for digital information, and the steering wheel cuts off the water and oil temp gauges. Gauge display not configurable so you have to scroll through info you may not care about, such as g-force (be nice if that only displayed in sport mode). Not strictly the car, but I notice that a lot of Porsches are sold with very low mileage and at auction with very little Carfax information, as mine was, which is bit worrisome.

The 2017 911 Turbo is the most impressive Porsche (or any car for that matter) currently produced. It is a refined race car that you can drive everyday....and you know the power is there no matter what car pulls up next to you! While you are waiting for that to happen, you can simply drive a beautiful automobile and if you get the Burmeister Upgrade to the Stereo, you can just enjoy the driving experience while listening to the BEST music system in the industry. I am lucky to have this car, and considering the cost of the competition, it is fairly prices for what you get. It is a sexy car that drives like the race cars it is born from and it is pure driving pleasure.....not to mention the looks you get! Congratulations Porsche for making the best car in the industry. One word....OUTSTANDING.

2016 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl 7M)
5 of 9 people found this review helpful
Last summer I was looking to buy myself a nice sporty luxury car. I had graduated from a 2004 VW R32 (amazing car), and wanted something a more refined. I received lots of advice and opinions and looked at Maserati, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, etc. It struck me that every dealer and person who I got advice from kept comparing their cars to Porsche, especially the 911. One guy I know has an airplane hanger where he stores his numerous cars. He told me his two favorites were Ferrari 458 and Porsche 911 Turbo S. So off to Porsche I went. Drove a base 911 and thought it handled really well but didn't blow me away. Was told I needed to try Turbo or Turbo S. Which I did. I was blown away. Perfect gestalt of a driving experience. Bought the Turbo S. Scary fast. Like a rocketship. Have since bought two (one for my wife) Targa 4 GTS 911s. Not a rocket but plenty fast -- extra 30hp and torque does make a significant difference, and suspension, height, and other tuning make for thrilling ride. Last of naturally aspirated engines, which with top down, makes for the most visceral and enjoyable daily driver when the weather is good. Love the Targa top (don't like soft top convertibles), and the aesthetic of the Targa (classic and modern at once). For me whether a Turbo S or GTS naturally aspirated is perfection reached.

305 mm tires on the back greatly improve traction over my BMW M4 (2016). The PDK is superb; better than the M DCT on the M4. No lag or transmission issues at all. Beautiful interior—very good 18-way cooled seats. Excellent soft top operation and quality. Excellent room for tall (6’ 3”) and broad men. Engine sound and power on the S model are fantastic. I drove the C4S and didn’t like the “plowing” / handling. Visibility is great too down and not bad at all with the top up provided the mirrors are properly positioned. Maintenance is on you—but oil changes are convenient—air filter change is cumbersome and requires rear fender removal. Driving with the top down is pleasant with great aerodynamics. Top up driving has some road noise but very livable. I enjoy driving in the manual shift mode. The central displays are nice but there is no HUD option as with the BMWs. Overall — I love the 911S and highly recommend it.
Feels Like an Audi S4 But Looks Better

The power in the base engine is nothing special. The ride is terrific with sharp handling that is not too hard. The drive feels just like my 2015 Audi S4 with a manual transmission. Turn the stop start function off. It makes for a jerky ride. If you are already spending this kind of money on a Carrera, just spend the extra bucks for an S with a larger engine and more torque. In fact, the S pretty much drives the same as a GTS. I see no real advantage of the GTS except that it will probably maintain its value better. Technology is poor for these cars. Value is all in the engineering and the drive. It is not in the technology or the interior.

Sorry wanted to like this car. Nothing but trouble with the PDK. Dealer tried everything and eventually replaced. However many of the same issues returned. Lunging and clunking through the gears. Also car is a very tight fit for tall people making the manual 7 speed difficult as well. As a long tie owner of P cars, I am also hoping for a different look. This design has lost its appeal over the decades.

The 911 Turbo S is by far the best sport car for the money. After I purchased the car from the dealer, prior to taking delivery I had them install the Stage 3 upgrade, plus the additional 68mm twin turbos. If you thought the Turbo S was exhilarating, adding the Stage 3 and the 68mm turbos will take your breath away, literally. Combine that with a factory 100,000 mile warranty on the dealer installed performance upgrade and there is no better car on the market for the money

What a fantastic car. I have owned more than 20 Porsches in my lifetime (I'm blessed) and this Targa GTS is the best....and that is saying a lot because they are all great. I love the open air feel when the top is down. The GTS gives that little bit of added "spunk" and a great sound from the exhaust. What a car! That says it best....what a car!
