2004 Porsche 911 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2004 Porsche 911 love its engaging driving experience and performance, often describing it as a joy to drive. Many appreciate its timeless design, handling, and sound. However, some note it can feel outdated compared to newer models, and the interior may not meet expectations at its original price point. Additionally, practicality is a concern due to limited cargo space, making it less family-friendly."
Beautiful car. Built well. When property serviced, these cars break in beautifully
January 30, 2022I drove this car at Thruxton - it is incredibly easy to get in and drive quickly on a track. With my limited talent, I probably went faster in this car than either the Ferrari F430 or Lamborghini LP640. Of the supercars I drove, this would also be the easiest to live with daily - I would happy (delirious) driving this around London. The handling, due to the 4WD, was very flattering and did not have any of the legendary 911 pendulum effect in evidence. Very quick, obviously, and with huge traction out of corners.
December 29, 2008It´s acceleration is unique, there´s no words for it. You only have to touch the accelerator and it´s like bending space and time, it´ll get you there in no time, the engine roars as only a Porsche can do it. And you stick to the seat like if you are fusing with it. That´s the accelaration in a Porsche 911 Turbo. Oh and this was a 996 plattform

January 12, 2008The 996 Turbo is the perfect blend of the older more engaging driving experience mixed with modern safety, comfortable drivability and reliability. The newer 911s are too interrupted by technology to be raw drivers. Additionally, the newer, 2005 going forward, 911s dont offer as much pure feedback from the road. The car is rocket ship in terms of power and although the design cues of the interior are very early 2000s, the material are of very high quality and gorgeous (minus the turn indicator and wiper stalk). Very much a performance 911. Highly recommended!
February 2, 2021This is a driving machine like no other. It will handle far better then any thing you have driving. However, family machine it is not. The trunk in the front of the car is OK, but your not going to even get two beach chairs and towels. Only consider as a 2nd car and driving in the winter can get expensive as the tires typically need to be changed out for rubber that will not freeze solid.
October 31, 2020I like my Porsche very much and would neve change it with a new one because the exterior style is much more prettier than the new one's. My car with an added 30 PS (through a chip= 350 PS now) satisfies my desires regarding acceleration and top speed. I have also changed the black col. to white with the wrapping system and it looks amazing now.
April 12, 2010The IMS Bearing failures are killing the market. It may be overblown. Also water leaks in the engine add to the problems, Lastly two other arears: Turn signal failure and passenger window noises. The market appears to be $25K to 32K. That is totally unacceptable as an owner and seller. Porsche should have made efforts to correct the problems and not having court findings.
April 12, 2024The 996 generation of 911, especially the 996.2, is a great way into your first 911 experience. The cars still have the older 911 feel, they are still small, though not as small as the 993 cars, and they weigh less than the newer cars. Take care of the IMS bearing or find one that has been fixed, or a higher milage car that has not had any issues. and for the most part, the 996 are fairly bullet proof. I have had other Porsche cars, A Cayenne, A Boxter S and now thie 996.2. All have been great, but there is something special about a 911....
September 20, 2023This is truly a perfect 10 and the last analog Porsche. The 996 really does combine everything top-notch from the air-cooled era and transforms it into a modern beast-mode-esk type of fun. I love my 4S and would not change it for the world (also, hands down the best looking 911 from the rear!)! Would 100% recommend to any true driver!
February 15, 2022great handling sports car, feel the acceleration and power once you hit the gas pedal, great manual 6 speed shift all in the palm of your hand. all wheel drive is an added plus once you hit the corners and curves, you are in control all the time.
