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.

This year, there really is no substitute - 2006 Porsche 911
By fredflyer - June 14 - 10:56 amThis is the fourth Porsche I have owned and I traded a 2002 Turbo for my new C4S. The handling characteristics are superior along with the ride. There is a sports suspension and exhaust setting that sweetens the tones of the engine even more. The body, which includes a very wide rear held up by 19" wheels looks like it was sculpted by an artist. The sports chrono package, which includes a dash mounted stop watch demonstrates Porsches ability to evolve without forgetng its roots. The classic "rounded" headlights are back. If you go and drive one, you will buy it.

My First Porsche...Best Car Ive Ever Owned! - 2006 Porsche 911
By jrl - January 14 - 6:20 pmMy 911 Carrera 4S is my first Porsche and I am awed by the experience. It handles and performs better than anything I ever owned (BMW 750, Jaguar XJRs, Mercedes-Benz 500 etc.) Everything you read about all the improvements made to this model cant come close to the experience of actually driving it. I agree with one other review, If you drive it ...youll buy it. Thats what happened to me!

What a Car! - 2006 Porsche 911
By poodlecrazy4 - November 8 - 5:03 pmThe lease on my Cayenne turbo was ending and I had always wanted a Carrera. This car is beyond even my expectations! Its extremely comfortable, a blast to drive, and handles like perfection! The braking is truly exceptional. When you are driving, you feel like you are in a car that is much more substantial in size. Its ROCK SOLID!

Like a Space Ship - 2006 Porsche 911
By Porsche Guy - January 25 - 12:20 pmThis car is almost as I would imagine a space ship. I have owned many Porsche cars, and the 997 is a step beyond, except for the Carrera GT. Thank you Porsche for making my life on earth, more complete!
