This Year's Model Updates:

For those zealots who feel that a 911 Turbo isn't quite enough, Porsche rolls out the new-for-'02 GT2. Standard 911s receive new front-end styling and a bump in engine size (from 3.4 liters to 3.6) and power (from 300 horsepower to 320). Other 2002 Porsche 911 updates include a real glovebox, the option of a Bose stereo, a single cupholder and a gaggle of new wheels. Open-air versions were not overlooked when they were making improvements; the Cabriolet finally gets a glass rear window and the Targa model returns after a four-year hiatus.

Pros:
  • Finely honed sports car abilities, available in all-wheel-drive, convertible, and turbo forms, legendary prestige.
Cons:
  • Options are pricey, engine layout attempts to fight the laws of physics.

    This is one of the best cars i have ever had. before the c4s i had a viper witch i thought could not be topped in performance but i was wrong. this car is allot better performance wise and interior wise. the only diffrenct bettween my viper and Porsche is that the viper turned more heads but thats ok i like not having people follow me how. well if they tryed they couldnt keep up.

    The Porsche is incredibly well enginered and built and has all the bits to go with its outstanding engine. The suspension in particular is quite sophisticated; it is extremely difficult to get the PSM System to come to ones "rescue" because the car is soooo neutral under extreme cornering even on lousy gravely roads. I feel quite safe in the car under all conditions including heavy rain. After a year of owmership the car is better than when it was delivered.

  • An unexpected Pleasure - 2002 Porsche 911

    Always fun to drive, even after 7+ years of ownership. I would recommend buying a set of winter tires to anyone who lives in a cold climate, especially if you expect to drive in snow regularly. Without them, the garage is the best place for the car! However, with a set of snows traction becomes very good & driving confidence climbs considerably. This is my ONLY car and I use it in all sorts of nasty weather. I dont baby it at all.

  • A real mans car - 2002 Porsche 911

    Have had different cars in past, so I decided to try the 911 Carrera4 Cab. The look of class, success and prestige pour from this car. As I drive down the windy road, I see 5 Corvettes look in envy,but anyone can afford a GM. A Jag or I mean Ford pulls up and I smile. Then a Mercedes..I mean Mopar pulls in and I shake my head. When I spend $100,000 on a car, I dont want to see 10 of them on my way to the store,or wish I had another...Drive one, it is a peice of classful art.

    The Porsche 911 is the finest auto out there bar none. It is fast off the line and can out handle most professional race cars. The sporty looks really turn heads and maintanance is not as costly as it is on most Europeansorts cars. Own at least one in your life time!

  • Daily driver racing car - 2002 Porsche 911

    If you are looking for the beautiful grand tourer, the sporty daily driver, and the aggressive weekend racer, look no further than the Porsche 2002 C4S.

  • Pricey...but worth it! - 2002 Porsche 911
    By -

    Waited years to own one...its been worth it! Power range is remarkable..Variocam system allows engine to pull like a freight train right up to redline. Handling is nimble, steering quick and light..brakes are outstanding, inspires confidence. Gearing allows plenty of pull/passing power even in 6th. Flawless so far. Tends to burn oil more than most cars (1 qt. per 800 miles..the $5 a quart stuff..) Back seats are handy for kids <10 years old...adults, forget it!

  • Its a chunk of change... But worth it! - 2002 Porsche 911
    By -

    This car is perfectly balanced and it is pretty much impossible to get it off the road. Difference between 2001 model and 2002 (and up) is enormous, although only 20 hp). Fun to drive factor is incredible. I postponed purchase with a year, since I felt it was too much money. And granted, it is a chuck of change, but when I test- drove one, I understood, this car is worth it! My advice: Dont wait until your 50+ to get this car, get it while youre still young...

  • Surprise Surprise - 2002 Porsche 911

    Ive had this car for nearly 4 years. It has about 30K miles on it. When I bough it I was quite prepared to pamper it, have it constantly looked after and treat it more as a "weekend fun machine." Ive done none of these things. Its as reliable as anything Ive ever owned (mostly Hondas, Toyotas, etc. in recent years). Ive done nothing except change oil & tires and its my only car. I use it all year - including cold, with snow winter where the only sacrifice I make is using winter tires. The gas mileage has been a respectable 24+MPG during the entire time so far. Yeah, this is all that "practical" stuff supposedly not of interest to someone into these kind of goodies-read on
