  2003 911 cabrio - 2003 Porsche 911
  By Jersey Guy - April 9 - 10:00 am

  Recently acquired a used 2003 911 cabriolet that was traded in on a 2004 C4S cab. The word outstanding does not do justice to the car. Fit, finish, ride, handling, acceleration, and the "oh wow" factor are simply first-rate. In the 40 years I have been driving my 2000 Boxster and the 03 911 cabriolet are simply the finest cars I have ever owned or driven. The 00 Boxster was flawless. It was never in the shop for anything other than the most routine of maintenance. The new car gives evidence of having the same quality built in. For me, the Prosche advertising slogan: "Porsche, there is no substitute" is spot on.

  Its a piece of history! After 40 years Porsche has finally tuned its chassis against the laws of physics. Its amazing to drive and so reliable. No other super car can reach 100,000 miles and still run smoothly. The Germans know how to build and it shows on the JD Power survey.

  Excellent Handling - Exhaust is a Blast! - 2003 Porsche 911
  By J&D - August 18 - 2:00 am

  Handling and breaking are excellent. Initial quality is excellent and acceleration is very good - but Turbo would be great. Cost of factory "extras" is exhorbitant. Radio is confusing. We have the optional sport exhaust with adjustable volume - I absolutely love this feature. Factory wing, although very expensive, really makes the 911 look sharp. Fantastic car, but I see a Turbo in my future.

  A Truely Awesome Machine - 2003 Porsche 911
  By M Bailey - May 20 - 10:00 am

  This is by far the highest quality car that I have ever owned. The fit/finish is excellent. Eventhough Ive only had the car for a short time, it has a feel of solidity and reliability that my previous rides did not have. Of course the car is tremendously fast but it accelerates quietly with very little drama. You can find yourself at 125mph before you know it. The car is so capable and solid at high speed that it just begs you to go faster. The handling is also excellent with a perfect amount of steering feedback. The grip on curves is astounding especially enlight of the rear engine configuration.

  Miss High Maintenance - 2003 Porsche 911
  By Miss High Maintenanc - May 4 - 2:00 am

  With respect to reliability, the car has been disappointing: close to $500 to fix a burned out xenon bulb; a failed rear main seal (a universal problem in 996s, 911s built from 1998- 2008, I have since found out, a lemon by any other name); failed sport exhaust cutout; failed radiators and there are 2 of them; increasingly stiff and notchy shifter; fractured dash trim (due to age) etc. Honoring the warranty has been reasonable. Noise and ride can be intolerable at times. Totally lacking in balanced handling, compared say to a Boxster or Miata, especially dangerous in very high speed curves, when camber and rear weight bias can combine to give it Corvair (or original VW Beetle) characteristics

  The Benchmark of Sports Cars - 2003 Porsche 911
  By John933xx - February 23 - 10:00 am

  This car defines what a sports car should be! Superb acceleration, ride and handling. Very comfortable on long trips for 2 people. Windscreen makes top-down driving a joy. AC and Bose sound are right up to snuff. Car is a dream at 80 to 100 MPH. Quiet for a convertible.

  responsiveness: an extension of self - 2003 Porsche 911
  By tomas - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Thus is foremost a drivers care. The handeling is superb. It can be used for an everyday driver as well as a weekend sports car. While I purchased the convertibe triptronic, I would recommend a fully optioned coupe from a value standpoint. One of the few cars purchased where I cant wait to purchase my next Porsche. You will be happy, very happy.

  Love It - 2003 Porsche 911
  By Cook - January 7 - 11:36 pm

  I have had a number of cars with high horsepower and high performance. This is by far the most comfortable car to drive aggressively in. You always feel, and are, in control. The power and handling are unsurpassed. If you are looking to purchase the 911 TT you wont be let down.

  Turbo Porsche 911 Review - 2003 Porsche 911
  By mrazmba - May 31 - 10:00 am

  Where to begin.... This car is FAST. Takes turns at high speeds without feeling G-Force. Smooth design allows fellow drives to awe in its beauty. Only one drawback, if you dont pay attention to speed limits, the police are easily readible to give a citation. No warning here, just tickets.
