Overview & Reviews

For the 2000 Porsche 911, a new exhaust system bumps horsepower from 296 to 300. Already featured on Carrera 4 models, two-wheel-drive Carreras now get an electronic drive-by-wire throttle and optional PSM stability control. All models receive an upgraded interior console and materials. The formerly optional charcoal odor filter is now standard. There are two new standard and one new optional exterior colors.

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

• Looks too much like a Porsche Boxster, not as visceral as the previous model.

  2000 Porsche 911 Millennium Edition - 2000 Porsche 911
  By Zordos - June 2 - 2:00 am

  After arriving back from the Porsche Zuffenhausen factory where I went on the tour, I felt compelled to promote these fine cars. I was blown away by not only the legendary performance of this fine automobile but also the quality of both the components and workmanship are matched only by the attention to detail in the design. There is very little to find fault with. Mind you Porsche has been refining this car for over 40 years.

  Pure exitment - 2000 Porsche 911
  By morris944 - March 9 - 1:00 pm

  This is definitely a great purchase. This car is fun to drive and I cant find enough reasons to drive it. Its horsepower and torque have a nice balance. The only complaint is the suspension. It is too soft for such a performance vehicle. A stiffer suspension would give this car more predictability. However the PSM certainly compensates for it.

  supper fun car, but....... - 2000 Porsche 911
  By hughbert - December 26 - 10:00 am

  This car is a blast to drive around, has a beatiful exterior design, very quiet convertable top. The most impressive part of the design is the way the top automatically folds into the rear. My only complaint is that such an expensive car should have at least the basics for a high-end interior. The stereo is B in quality, and there are no cup holders or storage space for CDs.

  Unbelievable Vehicle! - 2000 Porsche 911
  By Chip McElroy - March 20 - 10:00 am

  Incredible vehicle... Like no other sports car I have ever driven. Needs some American standards in the inside like storage and cup holders. Onew of the smoothest manuals I have ever experienced!

  1st Porshe - 2000 Porsche 911
  By JG - January 9 - 9:46 pm

  If you have never owned a Porsche. You should at least once in your life. It is not just a car it is pure man and machine made whole in one. It is perfection. Want to go fast in a straight line buy a Vette; want an experience buy the Porsche.

  Love this car!!! - 2000 Porsche 911
  By Pronounced_Porsh-A - October 8 - 10:00 am

  The sound of acceleration is intoxicating, as is rolling through a slow-speed zone in first or second gear. This car turns heads. One minor problem is lack of a cup holder. One MAJOR problem is that every 20 year old idiot in a honda will tailgate you, as well the never will afford a real car minivan driving middle age losers (male and female). Cannot tell you how many times I have been driving merrily along and some MORON pulls up next to me and starts revving his engine: especially contractors in pickups trucks. Gas milage: unbelievebly good. I just re-tread with factory spec tires, and the cost was under a grand.

  996 GT2 Aero - 2000 Porsche 911
  By Donnie C - January 16 - 2:00 am

  I really love driving this car. I still get excited avery time I go to the garage to drive it. I have other cars to use, but I am always drawn to the 996. I had a 993 prior to this one, and really think they did a great job with the new design. A little less raw sports car, but great overall. I love the Tiptronic transmission.

  If you can Afford One, Buy It - 2000 Porsche 911
  By Thomas - January 10 - 10:56 am

  I have had several air cooled Porsche 911s and this first water cooled auto is a blast to drive and own. It has great handling and awesome excelleration through the gears. It can easily handle the C4 Corvettes and most of the tricked out Hondas and Subarus that arent too tuned up. I dont waste the gas on the new 350ZXs that pull up and want to go at it. A lot of people tailgate you out of jealousy, but you get used to it and just slow down to aggravate them. Through the twisties, nothing out there can keep up with you as long as you stay on the gas pedal, the handling is phenomenal. I am going to sell this car soon and upgrade to a late model 996 Turbo.

  Fun To Drive, When its not leaking - 2000 Porsche 911
  By markmjm - January 6 - 10:00 am

  I sold my 95 NSX because it couldnt safely accommodate children. My 2000 911, of course, can do this, and its more comfortable, it offers more technology (in terms of safety, performance, etc.), and it is about as much fun to drive. However, despite good JD Power reliability ratings I have been disappointed. With only 6000 easy miles on the odometer, Ive had to deal with 3 oil leaks -- a pinched O-ring, a leaky valve cover, and in the past few days, the main oil seal has begun to fail. I understand that 911s have a reputation for oil leaks but this is a bit much, especially compared to that NSX....

  Two years in - 2000 Porsche 911
  By Seamus - November 10 - 10:00 am

  This is my first Porsche. On the whole I am pleased with the car and would consider buying another (likely a Turbo as I really feel the car needs another 50+ hp). Reliability is fairly good although I and many other 996 owners have had new rear main oil seals. The last factory ECU tune downloaded at service now has the check engine light flashign on and off.
