Overview & Reviews

For 2006, Porsche adds an all-wheel-drive option to its latest version of 911, which was introduced last year. The all-wheel-drive models bear the expected Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S nameplates. More power will be available for the 2006 Porsche 911, as well, through a 381-horsepower Carrera power kit. Other changes this year include an improved navigation system, an optional electronic logbook, new 19-inch wheels, a tire-pressure monitoring system and an automatic cut-off switch for the front-passenger airbag. In other news, Porsche has phased out the Turbo, GT2 and GT3 models, which were available as carryovers from the 996 generation last year. Don't worry, new versions of these will show up in coming years.

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

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

  Better than i could have imagined - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Sweet! - November 23 - 3:53 pm

  Yes this car is everything its made out to be, fast, quick, sexy, bold, stunning, sexy, an ego stroker without compare. EVERYONE looks and looks again. But the real rush is not all the exterior fuss but that feeling deep inside that lets you know I made it! This car is one with the driver, four seats, yeah right! lol This car is an extension of your driving capabilities, an expression of your need to find space and create space on the fly. Own a 745 BMW that I simply adore but sometimes, everyday if I could, you just want it to be about "you"...and nothing else. Driving down PCH on a beautiful California night with the top down and my beautiful wife. Well it doesnt get better. Nice!

  A Rocket on Steroids - 2006 Porsche 911
  By CardinalsFan - January 5 - 6:46 pm

  This is my second 911. The 2006 Carrera S is lightning fast. Press the Sport Crono package button, hit the gas, and what a blast. The difference between by 2001 911 and my 2006 is substantial. The 2006 model offers much more comfort and more acceleration. It is more expensive, but in my opinion, its worth it.

  Porsche. There is no Substitute. - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Racer X - December 20 - 4:36 pm

  I have purchased my first Porsche, a 2006 C4S. I have owned many cars to include a BMW M3. Nothing compares to a 911! Period! A Porsche is a Porsche but, the 911 Carrera is a very special Porsche; which can be told by the amount of people that are still hand making them compared to the other Porsche models. I dont have to consistently say the 911 is an awesome car, go and test drive one yourself and become a believer. Dont worry about Bluetooth, iPod connections, cup holders, etc, etc! This is the epitome of a sportscar, not and SUV! Dont cry about creature features, just enjoy the pleasurable driving experience on a daily basis as Porsche intended you too from the beginning!

  Wow!! - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Mingus - November 28 - 5:03 am

  My 2006 C4S Cabriolet is more fun than what should be legal! Ive wanted a 911 for as long as I can remember, however, as a tall guy (63"), the cockpits on previous versions were too cramped. Porsche finally saw the light for the 997 and the redesigned interior offers more leg room, not to mention, with the optional "full leather" package, a classy appearance commesurate with a car of this caliber (and price!). This car is really FAST and the all-wheel-drive holds turns at speeds you wouldnt believe possible. Ive never felt so confident behind the wheel as I do with this car. Ive owned high-end Mercedes and BMWs and this car blows them away. The exterior styling gets a big "thumbs up".

  Awesome! - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Coop - November 19 - 11:56 am

  The 2006 C4S Cab is the most enjoyable car I have ever owned! Porsche did this one right by raising the headlights and widening the rear fenders. The power of the S model is perfect. I have owned a Turbo model in the past and would never go back as the 911 S is the perferct balance of power and control. Porsche remains my top pick with the new 997 model now out in a convertible!

  Worth the Wait - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Cruz - July 12 - 2:10 am

  After driving a Boxster S for two years I couldnt wait any longer and went big for a 2006 Carrera S convertible. So far all I can say is WOW! The performance of the car is unmatched with more potential than I will probably ever use. I loved my Boxster S but the power and handling of a 911 S is worth every dollar I spent on it. I did reseach on all the top end sports cars and if your looking to upgrade look no further than the 911. I had plenty of "competition" come up to me in the Boxster...now when I have cars come up fast from behind you can literally see them back off after reading the Carrera S on the back.

  2006 Carrera Cabriolet - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Geoffrey Hersch - March 18 - 1:00 am

  My 2006 Carrera Canvertible performs well and is very fun to drive. I love the Tiptronic shifting capabilities which makes the car more fun to drive while not making my commute troublesome. Its suspension is a bit bouncey on the highway as expected for the sportiness. it is fast enough for most anyone and fun enough for me. I have had this car for two days and love it. The lines of the new body style are hot with 911 sportiness shining through.
