Overview & Reviews

For 2006, Porsche adds an all-wheel-drive option to its latest version of 911, which was introduced last year. The all-wheel-drive models bear the expected Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S nameplates. More power will be available for the 2006 Porsche 911, as well, through a 381-horsepower Carrera power kit. Other changes this year include an improved navigation system, an optional electronic logbook, new 19-inch wheels, a tire-pressure monitoring system and an automatic cut-off switch for the front-passenger airbag. In other news, Porsche has phased out the Turbo, GT2 and GT3 models, which were available as carryovers from the 996 generation last year. Don't worry, new versions of these will show up in coming years.

• Pinpoint steering, effortless acceleration, awe-inspiring brakes, precise all-wheel-drive option, the rhythmic sound of a powerful flat six, comfortable cockpit.

• Relatively small fuel tank, useless rear seats, outlandish option prices.

  Better than i could have imagined - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Sweet! - November 23 - 3:53 pm

  Yes this car is everything its made out to be, fast, quick, sexy, bold, stunning, sexy, an ego stroker without compare. EVERYONE looks and looks again. But the real rush is not all the exterior fuss but that feeling deep inside that lets you know I made it! This car is one with the driver, four seats, yeah right! lol This car is an extension of your driving capabilities, an expression of your need to find space and create space on the fly. Own a 745 BMW that I simply adore but sometimes, everyday if I could, you just want it to be about "you"...and nothing else. Driving down PCH on a beautiful California night with the top down and my beautiful wife. Well it doesnt get better. Nice!

  My Third Porsche - 2006 Porsche 911
  By RYT - November 3 - 7:56 pm

  This is my third Porsche. I have had hard tops previously, but convertib les are the best. It is pretty quiet compared to the hard top. I got all options. I am not too happy with the Bose high end stereo though. It sounds flat. The exterior needs some changes. LED will be nice. This car is fun to drive. Its a real head turner. For daily use it is OK. It needs more luxury inside for $110,000.

  Fun, Sexy, fun-to-drive, overpriced - 2006 Porsche 911
  By 997 - August 20 - 3:00 pm

  This was my first Porsche. Its fun to drive. Even fun to keep clean. Overpriced for what it is. Exterior fit and finish is very good. Interior quality is mid-stream. Accessories are silly overpriced. So far no mechanical issues. Depreciation is substantial. Do I love my Porsche...yes. I always look forward to being behind the wheel, with the top down and the music on. Its a WOW!

  Porsche Carrera S Convertible - 2006 Porsche 911
  By RT - February 6 - 11:06 am

  I traded in my my hard top for a convettible. Believe it or not, the inside is as quiet as the hard tops was. The interior should be more luxurious since the car costs $100,000+. I have a 325W Bose stereo but am not too impressed. It still sounds FLAT when the top is down. Last week I up grade the Amp to 600W. Now the car is awesome. NOTE TO EVERYONE: Remember every Porsche is different from others. For example, one cars crutch feels different from others. From my experience, all 3 Porsches I have owned, everything is perfect except one minor defect. My first one had loose inside door handles. With my second one, the car vibrated hard when the AC was on. Now in my third one, there is a rattling noise from the drivers side door while crusing. My dealer could not repaid any of these issues.

  A Rocket on Steroids - 2006 Porsche 911
  By CardinalsFan - January 5 - 6:46 pm

  This is my second 911. The 2006 Carrera S is lightning fast. Press the Sport Crono package button, hit the gas, and what a blast. The difference between by 2001 911 and my 2006 is substantial. The 2006 model offers much more comfort and more acceleration. It is more expensive, but in my opinion, its worth it.

  Porsche. There is no Substitute. - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Racer X - December 20 - 4:36 pm

  I have purchased my first Porsche, a 2006 C4S. I have owned many cars to include a BMW M3. Nothing compares to a 911! Period! A Porsche is a Porsche but, the 911 Carrera is a very special Porsche; which can be told by the amount of people that are still hand making them compared to the other Porsche models. I dont have to consistently say the 911 is an awesome car, go and test drive one yourself and become a believer. Dont worry about Bluetooth, iPod connections, cup holders, etc, etc! This is the epitome of a sportscar, not and SUV! Dont cry about creature features, just enjoy the pleasurable driving experience on a daily basis as Porsche intended you too from the beginning!

  Wow!! - 2006 Porsche 911
  By Mingus - November 28 - 5:03 am

  My 2006 C4S Cabriolet is more fun than what should be legal! Ive wanted a 911 for as long as I can remember, however, as a tall guy (63"), the cockpits on previous versions were too cramped. Porsche finally saw the light for the 997 and the redesigned interior offers more leg room, not to mention, with the optional "full leather" package, a classy appearance commesurate with a car of this caliber (and price!). This car is really FAST and the all-wheel-drive holds turns at speeds you wouldnt believe possible. Ive never felt so confident behind the wheel as I do with this car. Ive owned high-end Mercedes and BMWs and this car blows them away. The exterior styling gets a big "thumbs up".
