  Smilin and Drivin - 2009 Porsche 911
  By sd - September 7 - 8:23 am

  Awesome vehicle! Just got it and still breaking it in. Got a great deal on a new 09c2s 6-sp. As opposed to many exotics, it is fairly low maintenance (annual or 12k), good on gas (~20-25 mpg), can hold 2 small kids in the rear fairly comfortably for short trips (?family car, ha ha ha..), and reliability.

  Great - 2009 Porsche 911
  By chet - August 28 - 9:40 am

  This is my 3rd Porsche. The first one I "totaled" in an accident with a van. I walked away from the accident unhurt. The van pulled out of me and I slammed into its side at 40 mph. The safety features built into the car are functional. My current Porsche is their new 2009 with their automatic transmission. Its great. The power is there when you want it. This transmission allows my wife to drive. She was intimidated with the older manual transmission. One can manually shift with the steering wheel paddles, but the cars computer can handle the shifting requirements better than the driver. And besides, with the auto trans. you get better performance.

  This is the best car I have ever owned. Not one problem after 9 months. I love driving it and love how it looks!

  2009 - 911 Carrera S with PDK - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Phil - June 2 - 2:03 am

  Being my first Porsche, it truly lives up to my expectations of a Premium Sports Car. The exterior design/look, as well as handling in combination with the "instant" acceleration available is truly fantastic. The PDK, along with the heated/ventilated seats and upgraded Bose sound system, make this car one that I always look forward to driving every day. The dealership and salesman that I worked with was extremely professional and did not apply any pressure to sell me a car even in light of this tough economy. They had no problem with me discussing maintenance issues directly with the mechanic staff and reviewing the prep work order/paperwork on the vehicle that I ultimately chose.

  This is a better than before, but the pdk is not good. A pedestrain cars with sport mode can not hold onto gear box longer. As a customer of Porsche, I can say the pdk is better than tiptronic.

  Turbo is Top - 2009 Porsche 911
  By NPD - December 14 - 6:13 pm

  Hyperspace performance coupled with supreme handling, comfort and practicality. This vehicle is simply sublime. It draws a straight line through the laws of physics and laughs in the face of Italian Supercars, American muscle and Japanese wannabes. Untouchable!

  2009 Carrera S - 2009 Porsche 911
  By S car go - October 21 - 7:43 am

  An excellent step in the evolution of this venerable marque. PDK adds measurably to the enjoyment of this auto, but "launch code" useful only for the track and then maybe not. Sport mode makes the auto shine. New PCM easy to learn and use. The new 997 is a good daily commuter for the performance minded.

  Best car yet - 2009 Porsche 911
  By porschefan - May 3 - 4:43 am

  Traded in 07 Turbo Coupe for new 09 Turbo cab. Extremely happy with it so far. New PCM is fantastic improvement. With current market conditions, got a used car price on a brand new car (25K off). The coupe was great on the track but my passengers didnt appreciate the ride. The 07 also had a clutch issue. This car is gorgeous, sexy and fun with some level of comfort and amenities that a car at this price should have. I have owned several BMWs, SL55 AMG, Cayman S and Turbo Coupe, this is my favorite. I test drove and considered Ferrari 360 and 430, although they have the sound and exclusivity, you cant compare reliability, cost of service and usability of this everyday supercar.

  Adrenaline? - 2009 Porsche 911
  By Drew - November 29 - 2:00 am

  Bought it used but low miles. Ive read that performance actually improves after 5k miles when the engine is broken in. After some deliberation, decided to get the pdk with sport chrono package. Glad I did. Took it on some backroads where we could open it up. Put it in sport mode, punched it. Wow. Nothing like Id ever experienced. My girlfriend took a turn, decided to try "launch mode." put it in sport plus mode. Foot on the break, she revs the engine, the car is lurching, wanting to go. She reluctantly pushes the tach to 6500 rpm, car is screaming. The console lights up "launch mode active" and off we go. It takes about 15 minutes to get her blood pressure back to normal.
