  Just fun to drive - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Rich - October 20 - 4:43 pm

  This is my 1st sports car and 1st convertible. I am very happy with my choice. Looks great, drives great, handles great and sounds great. PDK is the best tranny to date. Blows the DCT in BMW away. I should have gotten the steering wheel mounted controls, but other than that everything is perfect. In sports mode, this is an excellent sports car. Should be able to default the car to this setting vs. normal. Convertible top is quick, smooth and quiet. Has all of the amenities of a luxury car (provided you pay for them) and they all work well. Like they say, "Porsche, there is no substitute."

  Great ride, poor quality and reliability - 2009 Porsche 911
  By david - March 4 - 2:36 pm

  Leased a car in April of 2009. After 1,500 miles had to replace a front strut. After it was replaced there appeared an annoying shaking and vibration in the steering wheel. Went to 2 different dealerships and no one can fix the problem. Otherwise, car offers amazing ride, especially in Sport mode. Recommend this car if you do not mind spending at the service shop at least twice a month.

  Fun car to drive, but its improvable! - 2009 Porsche 911
  By xrayfun - June 23 - 9:10 am

  A great acceleration machine and I really enjoy roaring to speed limit in 2 or 3 seconds after every first-in-line red light stop. Handling around sharp corners at high speed is very good. Impressively very stable and the sports seat holds my body pretty well. Definitely like the looks of the car when the top comes down. However I dont like the look of the spoiler when it comes up, because the stainless steel lift shafts do not match the ruby red color at all. Unfortunately there is no automatic shut off function for the head lights. This is so common in all the luxury cars and it surprises me that Porsche does not do it. Measured MPG=12. Bad.
