1986 Porsche 911 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 1986 Porsche 911 generally rave about its impressive power, exceptional handling, and overall driving experience. Many appreciate the car’s classic German engineering and aesthetic appeal, emphasizing its high fun factor and reliability. However, some drivers point out that it lacks modern comforts, with a few noting the Targa roof’s vulnerability to leaks and the less-than-spacious rear seating."
Tight handling, great acceleration and performance braking.
June 4, 2008The 86 911 just keeps appreciating, and based upon the cost to buy a new 911, it's no wonder why. What I like about this car is how simple it is. It's a visceral car, with manual steering and sublime brakes and go cart like handling. It's smaller and lighter than today's 911's not nearly as fast, and yet, I find myself driving it more than my other 911. That's just how good it is.
September 6, 2013Love most everything about this car. It cost less than most current model even cheap new cars. Looks great, runs perfect, soooo smooth.If you ever get the chance drive one do it and i think you'll be hooked like me.

October 23, 2012We bought this car from a guy who had never exposed it to snow (salt), did not use it as his primary car, had very few miles, and was desperate. When things go bad, they're not cheap. But keeping on top of maintenance just like with any car, helps. Driving it is an awesome experience. Would love to get another one. Like a 1966.
September 6, 2008Uprated the running gear throughout to 993 turbo spec... awesome car
March 29, 2008This was always my dream car, finally bought this used in 1997, and absolutely love it. Nice tall gears, strong turbo boost, lots of charm and built as solid as a rock. German engineering at it's best, no namby-pamby 4 wheel drive or traction control, this car requires a DRIVER that knows how to drive a car. Not for the feint hearted, brakes are excellent; roll your socks down when you step on the brakes. Comfortable for 2 plus two kids. USA model had essentially no headlights, so european headlights are a very worthwhile upgrade. Other than that, stock is best. Perhaps slightly beefier boost spring. Large Fun Factor. One of the sexiest looking cars out there. Another big benefit is that you don't need a stereo. Engine sounds magnificent.
September 4, 2008All the power and cornering ability I can handle. I've had straight-line cars that would run circles around it (not many, but a few), but I've never driven anything that could keep up with this in the turns.
February 3, 2008firt's its a porsche so its pretty fast the looks of it are very hot and the power is awosome, it's a sports car so its not so confortable in the back so you can only take your dog and your girfriend for a spin
