  Even better than what you imagine - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Northwest 911 - September 21 - 11:56 pm

  Just got my 2009 C4S coupe and it is just absolutely awesome. Very tight build, not rattle or hum that doesnt belong. Very much as one reviewer said - Clark Kent around town and easy going, a raging hulk when you want it to be. Ive got the stick and it is really fun to drive and also helps you from going 90 around town without realizing it. If youve been wanting a Porsche and considering a sports car I cant make a higher recommendation. Take from a guy who just got his first one after 30 years of dreaming - even better live and in person!

  Dream Car meets expectations - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Canyon Crusing - May 20 - 11:56 pm

  This is my third Porsche (87 Carrera Cab and then a 2000 Boxster which I gave to my son-he still has and its in mint condition- not a ding on it). I love the car, the power, fit and finish. The new display for navigation, XM etc. is easy to use as is the multi-function steering wheel. The ride is much better than expected. Porsche really put it all together with the new DFI engine; PDK and cosmetic updates. And the car is simply gorgeous with the top up or down. Definitely a keeper. I have driven it way more than I thought I would...its more than just a weekend car.

  Great Car - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Reek - June 4 - 4:03 am

  Came from an 04 BMW M3 w/ SMG. That was a great car but SMG was primitive. Porsche is more comfortable and seems to handle better. Also quicker to accelerate. BMW was more "involved". More mechanical and more intense. Porsche is more relaxed but simply responds the more it is pushed. Overall a better performing car. BMW was "edgy" so seemed to be a real performance car...a race car for the street. Porsche seems more sophisticated. I really need to adjust my attitude. The feeling is the limits of the car are far beyond anything I can (safely) approach on the street. I need more time, then I will hang the tail out on some turns. An amazing automobile.

  Fantastic Ride - 2009 Porsche 911
  By billsquared - November 6 - 10:40 pm

  This is our first Porsche. The build quality is excellent and the ride is surprisingly comfortable for a sports car. We have the standard suspension with 18"wheels. Our has the PDK transmission which is extremely smooth in shifting. Fuel efficiency is 27-29 on the highway. As a daily commuter, it blends both comfort and fun.

  Great car - 2009 Porsche 911
  By craig - October 5 - 8:06 pm

  Had an 05 Boxster S. Bought this car with full leather, navigation, blue tooth, xm and bigger wheels. Great car and a lot of fun. Appreciate the higher performance but comes with a significantly higher price and less everyday livability vs. Boxster. Miss the rear trunk for golf clubs.

  I want to leave a 10 review but... - 2009 Porsche 911
  By JOHN ON LONG ISLAND - June 28 - 11:06 pm

  I Bought this car brand new about 3 months ago. I love the car.. it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.. Although lately. its a little more difficult to smile. 1st problem.. water in the tail lights. (condensation) but ALOT.. Second.. My Cell phone will not link to the cars system. Its a $400 phone. dont understand why its not compatible. Im pretty good with electronics and the simple directions were clear to understand in the manual. Third problem. it will not learn my Garage Door Code.? Today, The Radio seems like the antenna disconnected. its not tuning in clearly on any station. I hope this car wasnt built on a Friday..:(

  My second - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Lar - November 17 - 11:33 pm

  After having a boxster for a year I moved up to 911. This car is outstanding in every way. Fun to drive, great looking and handles like a dream. The PDK is outstanding and gives u the best of both. I also cant say enough about the dealer Hennessy, the most professional car people going.

  09 C2 Cab (6 spd) - 2009 Porsche 911
  By HappyHour - September 26 - 9:10 am

  This is my first Porsche. Originally, looked at remaining 08 Boxsters then 08 911s and came away with great deal on 09 911. No problems other than speed limits and not being able to push to limits. I tried the PDK and it is sweet, but not engaging enough, so went with manual 6spd. Steering is precise, power is not overwhelming in the base model, but sufficient overall. Very comfortable as daily driver. Has been thirsty for oil; about a quart per 1000 miles.

  Porsche--there is still no substitute - 2009 Porsche 911
  By jerseyguy - May 15 - 2:16 pm

  The latest chapter for this 40 year old icon. Best one yet and makes the 2004 I traded in look like the Flintmobile. Drove the PDK transmission but decided it was not worth the $4,000 +. Careful selection of the options brought the car in within a few thousand dollars of my 2004 Carrera cab.

  coming home - 2009 Porsche 911
  By carguy - March 24 - 5:56 am

  Just bought a new 09 911S cab. Had an 08 911S cab but traded it on an M3 cab at the end of 08. Since had an 09 Jag xk cab and an 09 Jag xkr cab (ok, call me crazy with all these cars). But getting back in this 911S is like coming home. First thing I did was take a cloverleaf onto a highway at 70 mph without leaning and quickly realized what I had been missing. Jag xkr has more curb appeal, but this is just the perfect car, especially with a six speed. Car is much quicker than my 08...clear improvements to the 997 and 1/2. My wife doesnt believe that I will keep this car for a long while given my history, but I will win this bet. I am home.
