  • 2008 C4S - 2008 Porsche 911
    By -

    This car feels like it was carved out of a solid block of steel ! Heard previous comments on Porsches Bose stereo that were negative. Porsche must have listened because this Bose system is top notch. Navigation / Computer system is a bit complicated and makes you do more steps then usual to complete the task. I think they fixed this on the 2009s. Bluetooth also lacking. Over all though, this car feels great and is fun to drive daily or just on weekends ! Kudos to Porsche !

  • 08 turbo cab tiptronic - 2008 Porsche 911
    By -

    Went from an 06 c2s cab stick, to an 08 turbo cab tip. Love the power on demand, glued to the road feeling on country roads. The turbo definitely has a more planted feel on the twisties, probably due to the 4 wheel drive and more weight up front. The c2s felt very light up front with its go kart kind of feel. The main shock to me is how civilized the power train is. Not much of a snarl. no one will hear you and even starting it up is not a noticable event. It unfortunately lacks a killer exhaust note. My 06 C2s started with a snarl which was rewarding. The Tip is smooth as glass, no smg here, and it goes like hell too, but will it fulfill the boy racer desire? Maybe.

    This car is a ton of fun to drive. I recommend the sport exhaust. Next car will be the turbo. I need to find a track as the speed and acceleration are intoxicating. Im amazed at how smooth the engine is.

  • Glad I bought one! - 2008 Porsche 911

    Always wanted a Porsche but didnt think I would enjoy it this much. Feel very confident when driving on the highway or mountain roads. Power is always on tap and when you want to go, it moves! Handling is like being on a roller coaster . Built quality is top notch. Not as quite as my wifes Lexus but hearing the engine roar is beautiful too ! Bose Premium Stereo is wonderful. Clear, good highs and bass. Stereo / Nav. takes a bit of getting used to . More complicated then it really needs to be. Should have had Lexus engineered it. Over all this is a great car ! Love the opt. Sports Chrono / Stiffer shocks button ! Makes the C4S a different animal...

  • My review - 2008 Porsche 911

    This car has been my worst nightmare. Problems started at 400 miles and have only gotten worse. The car has severe cowl shake and I believe that lead to a broken driver side window.

  • The funnest car to drive - 2008 Porsche 911

    2500rpms then HOLD ON-the power- handling-color options-fill my fickle, very picky needs! The leather, MUCH FINER than any Bentley- plus you do not have to plug it in at night (like Bentley -Aston-Ferrari- Lambo). The 150,000 is still 100,000 under the competition. Plus it ALWAYS STARTS! LOVE-LOVE IT.

  • It is a perfect 9.9 - 2008 Porsche 911
    By -

    Yes my dear wife is the only perfect 10. The is the most seamless driving experience I have ever had. Like many others, I have had many exotic cars including previous Porsches. I have/had many Porsche turbos, but this non turbo car delivers the performance without the turbo kick in the rear. You just look down and see three figures on the "clock" pretty quick. Previously, I felt that Porsche suspension, brake, steering and transmission engineers did talk to each other. Now I think they have one guy and he is tops.

  • Awesome Vehicle! - 2008 Porsche 911
    By -

    This Cab S is my fourth Porsche and my second 911, and the best one ever. This is truly a dream car and is so much fun to drive. The handling and speed is light years ahead of anything Porsche has put out on the streets and blows the completion away. The exterior and interior of this gem is perfect! Porsche Im so proud of you; you done good!

  • The ultimate driving machine - 2008 Porsche 911
    By -

    After having 3 Corvettes I finally made the jump to a Porsche, or should I say leap. Its a different world with this Carrera 4S and talk about fun to drive? The rating of a 10 really doesnt do it justice, maybe a 16.
