Cons

None

Purchased As New

This is a FUN car. The exhaust note at full throttle is amazing, and the fuel economy is not that bad. Love the way the car looks and the fit and finish is great. The evolutionary design reminds people its a Porsche 911, but it makes them do a double take. :)

Pros

Appearance,acceleration,handling,performance,engineering.

Cons

Try to find one. Who cares about mileage at this level.

I've been driving for 43 years and I have now driven a REAL CAR. This is a perfect midlife crisis car and much cheaper than a mistress. If you are working on your bucket list do yourself a favor and get this car. It's the ultimate. It's a real looker. I love these kids in rice burners stare at it. Go for it. I've never seen an armored car behind a funeral procession....read morehide

Pros

Solid Car, great brakes

Cons

The 3.4 engine with the PDK option is under powered.

Purchased As New

Purchased the car a month ago. To my surprise it really gives good gas mileage constant 28 at 33 MPG. Although the 3.4 lacks power and torque. The car seems to surge from 1st to 3rd gear on the PDK. I see a recall or fix coming soon. Cannot compare to the smooth shifting of the Panamera with PDK....read morehide

Test drive review.

Simply the Best Porsche 911 Carrera yet.

This seems to be what is said about every new Porsche 911 Carrera... right?

Porsche clearly has a tight grip on its brand now.

The test drive included the PDK... looks like the manual transmission is a thing of the past... better performance and increased fuel efficiency... why get a stick?

Smart Buy... Porsche

Pros

Improved gas mileage, stunning looks.

Cons

Prohibitive cost of options

Purchased As New

Previous car was 2010 Carrera S. Newer car rides much better and is quieter. Hard to beat Germany engineering but all this technology comes at a steep cost.

Pros

AMAZING Car. Looks, Handling, Smooth Ride, Engine.

Cons

Zippo.

Traded my 2011 911S for this 2012 911 (991 the new style), and all I can say is WOW. Completely different car. Refined, comfortable ride (smooth), amazing handling, great engine, nice new instrument panel and interior. Drove from Dallas to Austin--incredible ride. Best car I have owned. Period.
