  WOW, now this is a sports car! - 2001 Porsche 911
  By spamjuice - May 19 - 9:06 am

  After sending away my 2004 M3, I bought my 2001 911 Turbo and what a difference that was. This car will give you goose bumps in the turns, acceleration, the roar of the rear engine and in braking. It even looks fast at the stop light! I have to admit, it took me a little time to adjust to the rear weight bias, but overall, the car is very manageable. I only dared to switch the PSM off every now and then. Everything is fantastic in the car, the interior with the curves look more Italian than German. Never had a problem with it so far, built like a tank.

  Porsche 994 Carrera 4 - 2001 Porsche 911
  By teflon_jones - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I had quite a few electrical system problems with the car, plus a major coolant leak. This was more than I expected with this vehicle considering how highly rated their reliability is! However, the car is a blast to drive and Im glad I bought it! I highly recommend Porsche cars!

  Reliable, fun daily commuter car - 2001 Porsche 911
  By Madmanners - December 30 - 10:33 am

  I bought it late 2004 after crashing my 94 SL500 (183,000 miles). This car is seriously fun to drive. Passengers might complain about the very firm ride; but I am all smiles as I straighten every curve! My only real complaint is the Porsche tax, which makes the Mercedes tax look reasonable. However, this car has been the most reliable German car that Ive owned. The rear main seal failed at 99,500 miles (replaced under 100,000 mile warranty), the ignition key housing cracked (not a warranty item), I replaced the clutch when the rear main seal failed, the cooling system leaked twice, and the ac condenser had to be replaced. This is car is not an Infiniti. Otherwise, routine maintenance.

  Porsche pride - 2001 Porsche 911
  By RYANDOUGLAS.CA - September 20 - 9:10 am

  Few products will ever be as iconic as this car. Nothing else is a 911. Period. The styling is classic and timeless. I suppose thats attributed to the rules and principles of aerodynamics, they wont change either.

  911 Turbo rocks - 2001 Porsche 911
  By Al Temail - February 12 - 8:06 am

  If you have the money and you want to experience real performance, try the 911 Turbo. The car is almost too fast for the streets of Dallas, you need plenty of room when you get into it because in a flash youll be at 85 and theres huge upside from there. If I dont hit 110 everyday (even for a moment) its a sad day. There are plenty of reasonably priced mods that you can do to increase performance - if you need it. Bear in mind there is a Porsche tax which means the same part for BMW will cost 50% less and the same part for a Mercedes will cost 30% less. As the saying goes, speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go?
