For generations the standard automotive trophy for those who've succeeded financially in life has been the Porsche 911. Whether you want to show that you've arrived, or just enjoy the drive before you
Porsche has great respect for the 911's rich heritage; consequently, the brand favors modest evolutionary updates. Consider the Nissan GT-R or Audi R8 if you appreciate truly advanced design and engin
The Porsche 911 is renowned for stellar steering feel, but the new-generation 911's electro-mechanical steering is less communicative than the previous car's due to some electronic nannies Porsche has added to keep the driver on track.

Review this carBy Dano (CA) on Friday, April 26, 2013
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,200

Cons: "Cost"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I owned a 2004 911 and loved it. I bought the 911 S Cabriolet and this car is miles ahead of that design. The seven speed manual transition is smooth and the hill hold feature is to die for! The redesign makes the car much more stable and the ride is a lot smoother my previous Porsche."
