2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8AM)
28 of 29 people found this review helpful

911 C2 Carrera S is everything and more than I could have wanted, The car is so enjoyable to drive that I often find myself smiling or laughing at how incredible and usable the performance is. It makes you feel like a better driver than you are. All specifications are on line so I won't mention them however I will discuss how those number translate in the real world. O-60 and 60-0 are easily achieved without drama. The brakes are so strong that I find myself occasionally looking in the rear view mirror hoping the car behind me left enough braking room. 4 wheel steering is a must purchase option. Lane changes at highway speeds and above are telepathic, no body lean, no upset to the chassis, just rock solid performance. Interior is pleasant but not luxurious considering the price. Sound levels are rather high at around town speeds but fade away on the highway. Storage is adequate thanks to the small back seat which can never be used for a human over 4 ft tall. I have noticed when the temp drops below 45 degrees the tires have a hard time keeping contact during rapid acceleration from stand still. This is typical of summer tires however makes me think maybe I should have opted for the 4S. Update...Car now has 4K miles . Still agree with my original review. Had the car on the track finally and it was superb. Few stock vehicles can keep up with it. Steering feedback is excellent, you can feel when your approaching the limits of adhesion. Brakes are powerful. I could late brake into a turn well after other vehicles were on their binders. Rained in the afternoon which gave me the opportunity to test wet mode on the track. Once again the car amazes. All but 2 cars pitted during the storm but my Porsche felt planted. You can't imagine the performance capability of this vehicle until you bring it to the track. 8K update...All the above still apply. Car has experiences many service bulletins and engine mounts needed to be replaced on a recall. Not surprised as this was a very early build. Now for some negatives 1) Why no AM radio band? Ludicrous on a car of this cost they couldn't include AM radio, 2) Programming the garage door opener is a nightmare. Why cant they follow the other divisions (Volkswagen,Audi) software which is easily programed. 3) Customer support from Porsche USA online or via telephone is pathetic, as is their vehicles owners manual. Phone customer service representatives just repeat whats in the owners manual which is weak at best. 11K update. Car is telepathic on the track, throttle oversteer is easy to dial in. 27 mpg on the highway. Still impressed by its capability. If you purchase this vehicle and never track it, you’ll be missing 80% of its capability . One negative track occurrence is with windows down as required at the track wind turbulence and harmonic sound is unacceptable. Can’t believe Porsche never ran this vehicle at 100 mph with the windows down Small air deflectors placed by the outside mirrors is the answer. Shame on Porsche for not realizing this short coming. The fix cost me $120 plus installation. 15K update....Still reliable, Maintenance is EXPENSIVE. Rotors were 5k. Front tires were'nt wearing well, had some camber and caster adjustments done, problem solved. 20K update. More of the same great performance and owner satisfaction. PCA track instructors constantly marvel at the capability of a stock 991 S C2. No service issues causing down time as of yet. 23K, All good, sticking with all prior comments, Never mentioned car is easy to get in and out of unlike other sports cars, same goes for visibility which is excellent as opposed to my C8 Corvette

2018 Grd Sport Corvette For 2020 Porsche Carrera S

Traded in a Corvette for the new 2020 Porsche Carrera S. In short, I have never looked backed. The performance and handling are true German outstanding engineering. It feels similar in straight line speed but handling is tighter with the Porsche. The car just feels better built to me and renewed my excitement about driving a sports car. The interior is very comfortable and instrument panel fantastic. My only con is that the learning curve is more for feeling comfortable with all the controls. After a few weeks, the controls came natural to me. I have been surprised by all the capabilities of the controls. The one surprise was that I did not have AM on the radio. However, I was able to get it via bluetooth from my phone.

This car is insane. I've owned 6 Porsche cars even a 911 Turbo. This new 992 S is insane from the new body lines to the interior, Porsche got this one right.

Was looking at the new c8, but the lack of sports car feel and handling made me go out and test drive a 911. After the test drive I was sold. 1200 miles in and it’s been a love affair with the road that I haven’t had since owning my 2001 YZF-R6.

I’ve had a 997 Carrera S and 991 GTS and this is by far the better machine . Very quick, very comfortable ( drop the tire pressures to Porsche comfort levels ) much more of a GT car when it needs to be. My first 911 convertible and what a joy, very comfortable with top down even at highway speeds with wind blocker. Everything is just so dialed in , the PDK, the different driver modes and the quality has a jewel like quality. It’s still a event every time I drive it.

My Silver 992

Tyler, 04/10/2024
2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8AM)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

Purchased used in 2022 with 35 miles on the odometer from Porsche dealership in Hawaii (the person who ordered it never picked it up as they lived in Japan and never traveled back to Hawaii. … thanks COVID… So, he sold it back to the dealer) Pros: rides well with great acceleration and handling Great looks and design Cons: Worst speakers ever! The Bose speakers must be broken. Tried to demonstrate how bad they were at the dealership when I first purchased the car but i didn’t understand at the time that the speakers rattle on certain songs. It’s extremely annoying. Disturbingly more cabin rattles than I expected given how so many car reviews speak so highly of 911s build quality. My 992 is a early late 2019 build so maybe that has something to do with it… I would recommend any 992 purchaser to get the nose lift function. I scraped the front once and now approach all inclines with extreme caution. Great car otherwise

I had the new mid-engine corvette convertible on order but due to supplier issue, kept on getting pushed backed. GM did say they will produce 2020 vettes into December if needed, however had little to no communication with their customers concerning build dates. Not wanting to pay full price for a car that's basically one year old, I decided to go for the gusto and spring for a new Porsche 911 Cabriolet. The car is fun to drive and has excellent build quality. The only problem I have had so far is I cannot get the Homelink to open the gate to my community and was told to take it to my local Porsche dealership for help, and the MMI system could be much more user friendly. This is nothing compared tothe vette which has had transmissions with debris, fit and finish problems and computer problems to name a few. In the long run, the decision to get the 911 was the right one for me. In an update to my review, the gasket around the front windshield was defective and had to be replaced under the warranty. You have to be very patient with the keyless entry on the drivers side. Porsche is aware of this, and it’s attributed to a poorly designed system. And then there’s the maintenance costs where EVERYTHING is expensive. I was expecting that but now I can confirm it. I still like the car. It’s a lot of fun, especially with the top down on a nice summer evening in Florida.

Owned every Porsche model offered in 2018-2019, except for the Cayenne. This 992 911 S is far superior to others, including two or three GTS variants. Steering, handling and acceleration are perfect. Not good - really, perfect. It would be hard to imagine a better balance between insane capability and every day comfort.

Such a blast. I never quite understood why people bought these. Now I know. There is driving and there is Porsche Driving. I regularly drive past my house just for fun, after grocery shopping for instance. There has been a lot of melted ice cream in my house since I got the car. The car can be a track car and a daily driver. Surprisingly I get a lot of stuff crammed into the small non trunk. The only slight so so items are the seats can hurt. Maybe it is me? Also the Bose stereo stinks for what it costs.

Comfortable, spacious, easy to drive, quick..... a real driver's car. Doesn't do anything outstanding.... Just does everything above expectations. The way I drive it in sport mode or revving it up with paddle shifters it can drink fuel between 10-15mpg. When I drive more like a normal person it gets 20+mpg.

I bought this car used with 400 miles the fit and finish is of course impeccable. There is a significant amount road noise that enters through the thin convertible top at the rear quarters. The performance and handling are exquisite. Punch the accelerator and expect to get thrown back in your seat as the car quickly approaches breathtaking speeds. Porsche changed over to an electronic shifter which disappoints as it amounts to what is best termed a “tickle button”. Still the instrumentation has been uncluttered by wonderful technology proving better ease of operation. If you’re in the market for a invertirle performance roadster look no further.

The car is amazing but difficult as an every day drive....Loud, bumpy ...fits a set of golf clubs in the back but hassle removing....Lease it and get the experience over with and then move on.

I love this car! It's my 5th 911-S and if I can talk my wife into it, will go for 6! The only thing that is a challenge on this car is the cost of service. Just had a $360.00 oil change. But then again, if you can't afford a $360 oil change you shouldn't be driving a 911-S!

Have less than 4k miles and the thing is falling apart. Constant problems. Worse yet, Porsche has basically said - It's your problem but that you for letting us know our car is junk.

The 2020 911 Carrera S is an outstanding high performance quality grand touring car. Edgy enough for track days or long distance driving trips. With the current bad weather we haven’t got the 911 out much at all. But it is a beauty to behold, even in the garage!!!!
