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.

  Like No Other - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Robert - September 14 - 9:53 pm

  When it comes to sports cars none can match the 911. Throughout the years I have owned many vehicles, even a Ferrari. When it comes right down to it, though, none are nearly as satisfying as the Carrera. With its timeless exterior and genuinely luxurious interior it cannot be matched in any category.

  Owner - 2005 Porsche 911
  By larry bonine - July 20 - 1:16 am

  The second Porsche I have owned and this one even exceeds all expectations. The turbo feature makes it an absolute thrill to drive (both the sound and rocket like take off.) I have put us through a PCA Drivers Education day for total bonding between the boy and his car. Additionally, we liked Porsche so much, we also got the Cayenne Turbo S and could not be more pleased with our decision. That it is number one in quality three years running surprises us not at all.

  2005 Porsche Carerra - 2005 Porsche 911
  By bob c - April 9 - 1:10 am

  The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera is a solid improvement over my 996 (which I believe was a leap ahead of the 993). It hae better looks with the new 1.7 inch wider body, 1 inch wider tracks, an interior that finally fits an $80,000 car, and more features that work well with a sports car. This is the best Porsche value in 6 years in a near supercar package.

  One hot drop top - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Jocko - February 10 - 3:53 pm

  This vehicle is like riding a rocket ship. I have an 89 and the obvious diference is performance, style,etc. The sport mode in the new Cab lets you feel the road and all of the great Porsche features ,speed, handling, and the interiors are really boss. Go Porsche!

  Love my turbo s - 2005 Porsche 911
  By lacey - February 2 - 7:26 am

  The only problem I have is that a new body style 997 came out in 2005. I only wish they would have made the 2005 Turbo S Cab in the 997 body style. Otherwise this car is all you could want in a sports car. I added the performance chip, tubi exhauast, lowenhart rims, lowered it and added some suede. I ordered almost every option except the back up sensors, (I wish I would have) they really help in tight areas. I love the look and feel of this car.

  Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet - 2005 Porsche 911
  By turbo s cab - January 22 - 1:16 am

  Although I have had the car only a little more than 1 week it has been entirely great. The performance is as expected, awesome, and everything works as it should, no complaints. There is no other supercar that you can drive as easily and non- tempermentally. I chose a 6 speed, would recommend since the tip I find dull although the performance is right up there for most drivers. The car can be bought without the high priced options without fear of adversely affecting the car or your enjoyment. Mine came with optional paint and the large aluminum package, neither are needed and cost over $5,000. I think I will enjoy the cab along with my 993 turbo.

  Best of all - 2005 Porsche 911
  By JD - October 25 - 3:10 pm

  I own different cars, SL500 / 750LI .., this is best of all. You really feel a sport car from inside out. Not like other, change their style completely every 4 to 8 years, this sport can says out loud "Porsche". Its acceleration is excellent. The Tiptronic transmission can be enjoyed in both auto/manual shift. My only complaints are the vehicle is too low to the ground, hard to get in or out from parking lot and the Bose stereo system is not great.. It needs more space for the backseat.

  Carrera S - 2005 Porsche 911
  By Unknown Variant - July 3 - 6:13 pm

  My first 911 ever and after 76,000 in a very modified C5 Corvette. This Carrera S is smooth refinement... the motor and drivetrain are a thing of precision beauty, shifts are light and crisp with snick, snick, snick sounds. Driving fun is at a new high with the Carrera S, a greater sense of driving. Porsches three level steel safety cage, steel door beams, side impact airbags, 18 gauge steel body panels and race proven brakes removed safety concerns I always had before. Porsches coil over damper suspension with multilink rear for strength add a chassis equal to the 4 cam motor, both of which are cutting edge. And the dealership difference is huge, too.

  Living the Dream - 2005 Porsche 911
  By VERLAECKT - March 5 - 12:40 am

  After dreaming about owning a 911 for almost 30 years I bought my first one ten years ago. The 997S cab is my fourth and its simply amazing how Porsche manages to make an almost perfect car every time better and better with each generation. The minute you start the engine, the party begins. Its a great way to escape the stress of every day work! From turn to turn, from one traffic light to another its pure wellness for all your senses: the ears, the feel in your body...you become one with this car. You can really experience the work of the sound and vibration engineers! Fabulous!
