One of my favorite car of the moment

If I ever want to buy a new car I would buy this one (I drive less than 5k miles per year so I prefer to spend my money on new gear and watches)

This is the best looking recent porsche (the ones from the 60's are still the best IMO) and from the reviews it seems that it's the best one to drive.

First impressions: I have had 2 last generation cars, 997.1 and a 997.2 S all with manual transmissions. This car is much better than the previous generation.
I won't be going to the track with it. It's kind of a GT car with the ability to turn into a sports car by pushing the sport or sport plus button . My daily driver and for weekend trips.



Steering - This car is just as accurate and responsive as my 997.2S.

It performs very well, pretty much on par with my 997.2S

Audio - It's Bose not Burnmiester, but its fine for the car listening streamed compressed music. Bottom line very mediocre

Ride Quality - It handles like a 911, you feel the bumps but not as hard as my 997's. I have 20 inch wheels.

Fuel Economy - hard to say, I have only 200 miles on it.

Manual Transmission - Very nice and smooth. The shifter console is in a comfortable position, pedals are in good position. The shifter throw is good.

Sunroof has less wind buffeting than the 997, very quiet with the roof open and windows closed.


Exhaust - Much deeper roar than the 997 at 3000 rpm it is quite loud, but not overbearing. Sounds calms down in 6th and 7th gear running below 3000 rpm.

The new interior is fantastic.
