Overview & Reviews

While the traditional 911 lines have been retained, just about everything else has changed on Porsche's flagship. Notable changes to the 2005 Porsche 911 include more powerful engines, a new transmission, variable-ratio rack-and-pinion steering, an adjustable suspension and new seating options in a redesigned passenger compartment.

• Pinpoint steering, effortless acceleration, awe-inspiring brakes, the rhythmic sound of a powerful flat six, comfortable cockpit.

• Relatively small fuel tank, useless rear seats, outlandish option prices.

  I love this car - 2005 Porsche 911
  By hfloeffler - December 8 - 3:36 pm

  This car is a pleasure to drive. It performs effortlessly on city streets and outrageously well on the highway. On winding country hillside roads the performance is astounding. The active suspension system (PASM) kicks in and pulls the car level in the hardest turns. You finish a turn with the feeling that there were no "G" forces at all. The interior is terrific.

  Definately Worth the Money - 2005 Porsche 911
  By BobObO360 - July 10 - 7:56 am

  The 2005 Porsche 911 Carerra S is an excellent car. It corners beautifully. The Sports Chronos Plus Package really helps its acceleration and control, but suspension wise... the car is very stiff, not good for those who want luxury. If you want luxury get an SL500. Porsches are made for great performance, especially the handling.

  Finally got one - 2005 Porsche 911
  By d1coach - July 5 - 1:19 pm

  After forty years of wanting one badly, I bought my Porsche 911. Low mileage well cared for Tiptronic Coupe. So much fun to drive, fast without a lot of noise or fuss. Plenty of cabin and head room even at 63.

  Amazing! - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Steven - June 14 - 4:20 am

  This is the most amazing automobile that I have ever driven. It handles like a race car, its brakes like no other car, and it accelerates like cars costing two to three times as much. This is the best sports car under $100,000 in the world, and one of the few that can handle the rigors of daily commuting.

  O my turbo - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Ron - March 19 - 9:56 pm

  The best handling car and the fastest car I have ever owned. At 175 mph it feels like 75. Very fast and stops just as well with no brake fade.

  Porsche 997 is Hands Down Better than 996 - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Niten Luthra - January 14 - 5:56 am

  I just bought this car trading my 05 Boxster in. Wow! This car is...unbelievable in every way. Its fast, fun and damn good looking. My brother says it well - engineering excellence. I am so happy and privileged to be an owner and to be able to drive a vehcile that so many people dream of driving and owning. I bought an Artic silver one with 19" Carrera wheels, bi xenons, sport seats and so forth. There is no substitute!

  Daily Driver or Dream Car? - 2005 Porsche 911
  By MountainManiac - July 26 - 12:06 pm

  I have owned my 05 Carrera S for almost 3 years, and I continue to love it. Full supple leather is a great option that makes the car smell like a Coach store ever time you open the door. The light front end and immediate steering is the 911s best trait - - along with the phenomenal power. Dont be misled by factory number or magazine writeups...the S model will consistently do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. The low-end torque is unbelievable, although at 6000 rpm the car is running out of steam and wants to be shifted. The acceleration and braking are dizzying -- its unlike any other car that can be used as a daily driver. Plus, you can fit 2 kids in the backseat and get 27 hwy. Amazing.

  997 Carrerra - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Sergio - May 19 - 10:16 pm

  This is a beautiful, sporty, and amazing machine! Unlike the older model, (996) this 2005 has all the retro Porsche styling along with the smoothest, quickest, and most firm 6 speed Ive ever experienced! Top speed, dont even ask....
