This car wasnt really meant for back seat riders. More for small bag items, etc. Just like the 3 series coupes. The only difference is that Porsche looks more desirable then BMW's
@2pkjs1351 they dont and in 10 years current Mercedes will just be old while 911 will outperform and will be legendary for a long time....also there is a difference how Porsche drive feel which makes it that much more desirable
what were all the comparisons at the end about i was thinking more ferrari 458 audi r8 nissan gtr and lamborghini gallardo there all about the same price and speed
I could understand why someone would buy a Carrera, Carrera 4, or Carrera S because there are no good RWD competitors for it. If you are planning on buying an AWD Porsche, you should buy an Audi R8 instead. The Audi is a true supercar, while the comparatively mundane Carrera is only a sportscar. The biggest flaw in every Porsche is the interior. Interiors have never been Porsche's forte.
I bought a garage queen 2007 911 S with 13k miles and must say it is the finest car I ever owned. Comfort, fit and fast. And the cup holders....well,if there has to be one weak point...then this is it. but they are out of the way and they work. Awesome car and I suggest taking the High Performance Driving Course (HPDC) through the PCA and at a track near you. Then run some auto crosses. YOu will love it big time
it is like that since the first 911 the engine was placed over the rear axle so they could seat 4 people inside although the rear seats only fit short people (no way to seat anybody on the back if you have the targa with the glass roof open though) to kinda allow owners to take their kids to school... .... as for additional storage space.
my friend is thinking about getting one, and when i saw the cup holders, they didnt look so supportive. If someone has one, can you tell me how good they are?
my uncle usted to have one he bought new in 2000 and sold last year... it was a Targa 4s and i must tell you it drives like a dream, it super stable even on heavy rain, very responsive and only fits 2 people in comfort the backseats are useless... usable only for short trips on decent roads... about the cup holders... for get that... only americans love cup holders on a car.
Porsche is known for putting the engine were no one else dares to put... or be on top of the rear axle this gives more space inside and creates a unique driving style or their cars the early 911's let's say from the 60' decade to the 80' decade were known for spinning around if the driver was not careful, then they added AWD and the car became much easier to drive on the limit and the new Turbo it just breaks the scale the system does not alow any under or over steer which makes it perfect
A pitiful 6-cylinder engine with 345 horsepower, 0 to 60mph in 4.7 seconds, for $75,000? No. How 'bout a V8 with 414 horsepower, 0 to 60mph in 4.5 seconds, for $56,000 in the BMW M3?
Well one thing's for sure - the Carrera isn't better than the M3, the M3 has more power, a faster 0-60 time, and two more cylinders. And a much smaller price tag!
I have the 2008 M3 but the 911 is a totally different car...it's all about handling, which the m3 cannot match. The carrera's engine is weaker, but the car is nearly 800 lbs. lighter.
I used to have a 996 targa, but the m3 is more practical for a daily driver, especially the 4 door version. I would pay more for a 911 or cayman s in the future, but right now I need the practicality. The telepathic steering of porsche sports cars is definitely worth the extra money.
The M3 comes standard with air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, power sunroof, outside-temperature indicator, memory system, upgraded sound system, and leather upholstery. What about the Carrera?
yea i know that the m3 is faster and all but the carrera is kinda more of a sports car cause of its handling advantage.. and the ride quality is better in the carrera too. but of course the m3 is a very impressive car as well. the m3 shoots to 60mph in 4.5 and it has like 414 horsepower which is a lot more impressive than the carrera bust still.. they're both very sporty cars
i'm not sure how much i like the "911 club"... but the car is awesome.

well they are german they like to be practical, plus rear seats means the insurance company clasify it as a 4 seat coupe not a 2 seater supercar.

I have been car shopping recently and I have driven the 911, M3, M5 and some AMG SLK's.
Here is the reason that I chose Porsche:
10 years from now, this car will still turn heads. My children will fall in love with this car, just as I did when I was 7 years old.
The 911 is all about style - in addition to top-notch handling and performance. This is something that most people don't understand.
That's why the 911 isn't for most people. Porsche is fine with that and so am I.

That makes sense. If you didn't already have an M3, would you still consider paying the extra money for a Carrera over an M3?

So the benefits of buying the Carrera are:
1. 6 miles per gallon better
2. Looks cooler
3. Way better handling
The benefits of buying the M3 are:
1. More power, faster
2. Less expensive
The M3 comes standard with air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, power sunroof, outside-temperature indicator, memory system, upgraded sound system, and leather upholstery.
