Overview & Reviews

Porsche finally puts a standard CD player in the 2003 Porsche 911. Five horsepower are mysteriously lost in non-Turbo 911s, meaning output is "only" 315 horses now.

• Sizzling performance, tenacious handling, legendary reputation.

  Fast, not much to look at. - 2003 Porsche 911

  Drives and handles well. Acceleration and braking are excellent. However, I traded on 2003 BMW M3 and got more car.Met more people in love with cars as opposed to themselves.

  Miss High Maintenance - 2003 Porsche 911

  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
