Overview & Reviews

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.

• Finely honed sports car abilities, available in all-wheel-drive, convertible, and turbo forms, legendary prestige.

• Options are pricey, engine layout attempts to fight the laws of physics.

  By porsch forever - January 14 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Great Car - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Barrie Lepley - November 9 - 10:00 am

  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
  By Giovanni B. - October 26 - 4:43 am

  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 tremendous sports car for the money - 2002 Porsche 911
  By eDoug - January 22 - 4:53 pm

  Since prices have come down on these, they represent a tremendous value for anyone seeking a sports car, and anyone charmed by the voluptuous shape and performance of a 911. While many snuffed the new looks of the 996 chassis and design, its unmistakably all 911... and the performance on and off the track are testimony to its heritage. There are some weak points mechanically in some cars, but this is factored in to the low prices were seeing for these models. 2002 added some nice goodies - and its a great year... Would I love a 2009 997? Perhaps, but when you might be able to pay cash for a 2002 with only incrementally lower performance (but less weight, too), its an easy decision.

  Great car! - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Eric Twiste - September 25 - 10:00 am

  The best all-around sports car you can buy! The exterior speaks for itself. The interior is comfortable, set up great for driving, and (with full leather) looks and feels expensive. The interior design is not beautiful, however. Performance is amazing. The car pulls acceptably from 2000 rpm, strongly from 3500, and like a rocket over 4300. Great exhaust note. Braking and handling are incredible. Even with all this performance, around town the C4S is quiet. The interior is roomy. The ride is firm but nice. Noise is not a factor at normal speeds. The stick shift is smooth and effortless. This car can easily be your daily driver, and it is for me.

  Good but Not Great - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Estrid - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Fun to drive, head turning car. Broke camshaft at 2000 miles after perfect break in. Dealer replaced engine. Engine misses when hot at low rpm and oil pressure can fluctuate at sustained rpm. Dealer says computer diagnostics show everything normal. Alignment was incorrect from purchase date despite dealership review after 200 miles. Alignment now correct and handling is vastly improved. Even after the headaches, it may be the best performance and looks for the money.

  A real mans car - 2002 Porsche 911
  By brent - May 9 - 10:00 am

  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.

  There is no Substitute - 2002 Porsche 911
  By mike - April 20 - 8:43 pm

  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!
