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.

  Worth the Wait - 2006 Porsche 911
  By keepsdad - October 11 - 1:43 pm

  At 53 years of age, I finally took the plunge and bought a new 06 911 Carrera 2 coupe, 6-speed, black on black. My, my, my has it been worth the wait! Can you say handling beyond your wildest dreams? It is fast, but I have driven faster. What sets it apart though is its incredible smoothness and overall mechanical balance. The workmanship is spectacular - I now understand why you see a ton of these still running after 20 years. Although it is hard to argue that any car is worth $75,000, I can at least understand why this car costs that much. It is over-engineered and built to incredible fit and finish standards. It is everything (and more) that I had ever hoped and dreamed that it would be.

  The 2006 Porsche 911 turned out to be one of the best sports cars on the market. It has great handling, style, performance, and so much more. It is worth every penny of its price.

  Amazing handling, feel, & build quality - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Aaron - October 11 - 4:03 pm

  Porsche comes out #1 again in the J.D Power survey with build quality and my experience is no different. Classic styling never grows old. It makes your heart skip a beat every time. Porsches adaptive sport seats are the best Ive ever owned. The handling & driver feedback is amazing for this car. This isnt a hick muscle car thats only good for driving in a straight line. Take this car into the twisties and youll see what owning a Porsche is all about. The agility is amazing, and Porsche did a great job of keeping the weight very low in the 3000s unlike inferior German competitors that can only boast a handful of extra hps and trunk space.

  Porsche S4 Cab is an Awesome Ride - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Rich - September 4 - 8:46 pm

  I have never owned a Porsche until now and wondered afterwards why I waited so long. This car looks, handles, performs like no other car I have driven. The S4 version makes for a wide body car that looks very aggressive (305ZR3519) with steam roller rubber under the rear combined with four wheel drive option gives you tremendous confidence in accelerating hard into corners. It is one of the most fun cars to drive and with the sport exhaust, six speed transmission and sport seats that hug you and allow you to push the car, you feel like your driving a race car. The sport exhaust not only adds to the performance but provides sweetest sounding engine notes from a production exhaust. The car is a great value.

  Club Coupe is a Winner - 2006 Porsche 911
  By clif - May 14 - 7:53 pm

  This is an incredible car. It is sensitive to tire pressures, 381 hp w x51 kit. The harder you drive it, the better it drives. i.e. more the confident you will be in its capabilities. The engine is very flexible and has gobs of power above 4,200 rpm. It has the sport chrono which makes the throttle more sensitive, firms the shocks for more precision driving and opens that melodious Porsche exhaust up. After 5,000 miles, I still get excited driving this car. There truly is no substitute. It is a world beater with 3.8 liter six cylinders. Wow. The engineers have triumphed over the physical issues of a rear engine vehicle.

  2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible - 2006 Porsche 911
  By barryvon - October 11 - 12:26 pm

  My 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible is silver with the natural brown leather (baseball glove) interior. It is beautiful. I have not had any issues with it, other than my dealership. It sounds good and moves great. The best feature is the PASM & PSM, which make this 911 a comfortable daily driver. This feature alone antiquates pre-2005 models. The S package for $10,000 makes the needed difference. Get the S and get the full leather option as well, for $4800, the rich leather smell and look are awesome. My garage smells like leather and the engine every morning. This cars total price came to $107,000, which is more than I expected but once you are spending $91,500 whats the difference, add the ubgrades and make it a great luxury car. It has a quiet convertible top. This car sounds awesome in a tunnel! There is no wind with the screen and windows up. It has a good navigation system, too.

  2006 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Carlos - July 3 - 8:03 pm

  I am the proud owner of a 2006, 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe! The 997 is AWESOME. It has great brakes, engine, suspension, interior design, and yes…that sexy body style with an attitude! I love driving the 997; it’s superb in response, handling, and breaking. I feel like a combat fighter pilot on a mission. Talk about stress therapy, drive a 997 and feel invigorated every time you take the perfect apex. Driving the 997 will make you a believer of the slogan, “Porsche there is no substitute."

  1st but not last! - 2006 Porsche 911
  By spdmn - December 18 - 11:34 am

  I purchased a 2006 911 Cab six months ago w/ 10k miles on it. Think I paid too much, but, now I just think who cares?! Thats saying a lot since Im notoriously cheap, the car is simply fun to drive and it has a cool factor like no other so say my kids, which is the only opinion that matters in my book. Sports package, white, chrome wheels, and all the extras that can be crammed in. Its driving nirvana. Cant wait until the next one, although, how do you part with something youve grown to love???
