2009 Porsche 911 Turbo User Reviews

Pros

none that I can think of

Cons

extremely poor quality,

Purchased As New

I purchased my new car porsche 911 turbo coupe in Santa Clara Ca. at Steven's Creek Porsche. Not but a week after purchasing the car did I start to notice build quality problems. You can see the differing gap sizes between door and body panels, brakes that move within the calipers (actually make a slapping sound when braking in reverse then forward), gears that crunch between 1st to 2nd, there is just too much wrong with this car. Fearful of California'a lemon law ,Steven's Creak will not admit there are any problems. I really get the impression they would let a dangerous problem pass instead of fixing it.

If only it where build quality problems I could end my email now. This car does not live up to all of the performance hype. It really makes one believe that Porsche has built themselves a powerful marketing machine and possibly bribing car magazines. The real truth of the cars seems to explain porsche's finacial demise. It is a somewhat good looking car, but as the saying goes "looks good but does not work".

From a person who wasted 138K, "Save your money or choose something else!!!"...read morehide

Pros

A beast

Cons

pricey but you get what you pay for

Purchased As New

This car is beauty especially, although expensive. I have full leather plus almost all the exclusive options and it really stands out. Wanted the deviated stitching but could not get it with the car i bought. It is so so fast and turns heads. The turbo wheels are really nice esp with color center caps. This is my 3rd 911 and all have been really reliable. The tire pressure system is cool as is the oil monitor. I will probably keep this til 2012 when the new 998 comes out or til all the quirks are worked out of the new 2010 turbo engine. Only complaint is that the 2009 turbo does not have "hill assist" whereas al the other 09s have it....read morehide

Great car. I also have a 993 Turbo and a 55 356 Speedster, and Cayenne Turbo.
Great car with terrific performace. My 6"2"' frame gets in and our easily.
Despite the fact that I love Porsche (obvious), it is terrible the way they grind you for all the little options that you get included in other cars. It is really cheap the way they do it....read morehide

Pros

Are you kidding? Everything !

Cons

Too perfect.

Purchased As New

This is not a car... it is an achivment in your life. Not just an amazing sport car but a way of transportation too. That is something an "exotic car" would not give you. Car is perfect. I would say good that is even boring. But tht is what I was looking for... otherwise would get the GT3.That would make my blood boil. Not at this time. I wanted a quiet, gentlemen express as they use to say. Maintenace is almost none. I added few more horse power and new rims. Pure art....read morehide

Pros

powerful engine, great cornering

Cons

always scraping the front on something

Purchased As New

Comfortable enough to be a daily driver. The bluetooth phone link works very well. I-pod intergrates nicely. Full leather is sweet. The top comes down easily (but you must hold the button). That's hard to do while trying to shift. Power really comes on quickly at 4000 rpm. Freeway speed acceleration is obscene. Stereo thumps, seat's comfortable.

All in all a very hot ride...read morehide
