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.

  Car just lost power and stopped downtown with no warning, engine is broken, waiting for repair appointment and estimates. I am disappointed with quality, On- board computer has no diagnostic message to display.

  Awesome car, some issues, all smile - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Wayne Chu - May 30 - 1:23 pm

  I bought a 5 year old used Carrera C2 through the local Porsche dealship with 48,000km on it. The car developed a wee-wee noise from the get go. The dealer serviced the brakes, changed the transmission but could not make the noise go away. It turned out to be the front wheel bearing. I was told this was not a common issue with this vehicle and the dealer did not see a history of wheel bearing replacement in the past. One of the bi-Xenon bulb also had to be replaced last year; it was covered under extended warranty. It was a good thing I bought extended warranty. Since then, the car is running perfect and I am enjoying it.

  Awesome Targa!! - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Jonas - December 15 - 1:03 pm

  I frequently change vehicles and have had some of the greats in the mid- price range - Elise, NSX, S2000. The 911 edges out the NSX for top honors in my opinion. It gives an unbelievably smooth ride when calm, but upon hard acceleration or cornering tightens up significantly. This is the first of the cars Ive owned that my wife will drive. Ive only had the car for a few months, but it hasnt missed a beat. Also, the torque curve is much more linear than any car Ive previously owned. Its a welcoming contrast to the lack of bottom end power Ive experienced in the past. In my opinion the Targa design is far superior to the standard 911; the glass breaks up the roof line nicely.

  Nothing short of amazing - 2002 Porsche 911
  By sanfraned - March 22 - 10:00 am

  I have always been in search of a car that offered the right combination of awesome performance at a high but not astronomical price and that had great curb appeal. Well, the Porsche 911 Turbo with the X50 performance package is nothing short of incredible. For the money, you cannot find anything more impressive than a Porsche 911 Turbo X50. Good safety features including 4 wheel drive, and ESP (PSM in Porsches lingo), which make the car much safer in risky situations and allows novice drives to drive it with confidence. Blazing speed, which according to manufacturers specs, make it one of the fastest production cars in the world.
