  My second - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Lar - November 17 - 11:33 pm

  After having a boxster for a year I moved up to 911. This car is outstanding in every way. Fun to drive, great looking and handles like a dream. The PDK is outstanding and gives u the best of both. I also cant say enough about the dealer Hennessy, the most professional car people going.

  09 C2 Cab (6 spd) - 2009 Porsche 911
  By HappyHour - September 26 - 9:10 am

  This is my first Porsche. Originally, looked at remaining 08 Boxsters then 08 911s and came away with great deal on 09 911. No problems other than speed limits and not being able to push to limits. I tried the PDK and it is sweet, but not engaging enough, so went with manual 6spd. Steering is precise, power is not overwhelming in the base model, but sufficient overall. Very comfortable as daily driver. Has been thirsty for oil; about a quart per 1000 miles.

  Porsche--there is still no substitute - 2009 Porsche 911
  By jerseyguy - May 15 - 2:16 pm

  The latest chapter for this 40 year old icon. Best one yet and makes the 2004 I traded in look like the Flintmobile. Drove the PDK transmission but decided it was not worth the $4,000 +. Careful selection of the options brought the car in within a few thousand dollars of my 2004 Carrera cab.

  2009 911 S COnvertible - 2009 Porsche 911
  By drew0626 - April 2 - 7:45 pm

  This car was fun for a while, but it is a maintenance headache and the build quality is poor. Everything is ridiculously expensive to fix, and things go wrong all the time. The car had electrical problems because apparently the car (convertible) is not designed to deal with leaves (which clogged the drains ). Really, leaves?? Never had these issues with numerous other convertibles. The trim is cheap and the the lether just wears off from low use (I have less than 20K miles on it). Now the latest: my tail light went out. They tell me it is not just a bulb but is soldered and as such requires replacement of the tail light assembly at a cost of over $1000 (not a typo) ...crazy!

  coming home - 2009 Porsche 911
  By carguy - March 24 - 5:56 am

  Just bought a new 09 911S cab. Had an 08 911S cab but traded it on an M3 cab at the end of 08. Since had an 09 Jag xk cab and an 09 Jag xkr cab (ok, call me crazy with all these cars). But getting back in this 911S is like coming home. First thing I did was take a cloverleaf onto a highway at 70 mph without leaning and quickly realized what I had been missing. Jag xkr has more curb appeal, but this is just the perfect car, especially with a six speed. Car is much quicker than my 08...clear improvements to the 997 and 1/2. My wife doesnt believe that I will keep this car for a long while given my history, but I will win this bet. I am home.

  Awesome - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Earfool - March 11 - 2:56 pm

  This is an amazing car. I have never enjoyed drive a vehicle as much as my 911. The acceleration is as sophisticated as one would expect from a Porsche. Its only a beast when you want it to be.

  Silky smooth! - 2009 Porsche 911
  By aferrell - June 16 - 4:40 pm

  Traded in 07 Boxster S, loved that car but the Carrera coupe offers more room for driver and passenger. My last 911 was a 70 E, and this new one is totally different. Great driver, handling is awesome.

  A 911 is the ultimate for purists - 2009 Porsche 911
  By roger Bassetti - February 25 - 9:26 am

  The 911 continues to represent an exhilarating experience for a sports car purist. The driver comfort issue becomes a moot issue when the driver gets behind the wheel. I find excuses to drive the 911 because of its unrivaled performance and "fun to drive" quotient. This is not a car which is designed to put you asleep. Rather, it is a car which responds to your every wish and performs as if it is an extension of your own psyche. Ferry Porsche had it right; build the 911 based upon racing performance.
