2005 Porsche 911 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

0-60 4.2, top speed-193 everything on this car is either carbon fiber or plastic. even the badge on the bonnet is a sticker to reduce weight. this car is the ultimate driving machine porsche has come out with since the carrera gt

Flat-six, 355 HP H & R lowering springs in the box--need to go on! Other than that, bone stock Factory nav Bose high-end audio 19" Carrera Classic wheels (real easy to clean) Wish I did not have to put in the garage for about 4-5 months every winter!

wonderful car, very reliable, economical, powerful and stylish. Introduction of 997 vs 996 was a great idea - the ageless face design is very attractive.

If you're looking to fully enjoy the experience of driving, you couldn't pick a better car to do it in. The only way to adequately understand it's performance is to drive one. Once driven you will be hooked for a lifetime!

Price of car is to high for the quality, age and issues associated with the car.

Major fault of this car is the IMS/RMS bearing failure. If the factory bearings have not been replaced, the engine could have a catastrophic failure. It does not happen in all cases but Porsche people try to stay away from the Carrera. The Carrera S has a different engine.

Waited 25 years for this, it better be good. It is refreshing to find Porsche has stayed away from all the unnecessary sophistications - ie. you don't have to remove 10 things everytime you wanted 1 thing changed. It also doesn't employ rubber bushings to excess, so the driving feel is very direct and informative. The definitely superior chassis stiffness is very noticeable and works in harmony with the suspension. Saving the best for last, the engine, despite being old school (ie. an evulotion from the GT1 engine from the '80s, still has no direct injection, individual intake throttles, etc.), still deliver all its 450 hp in such explosive manner such that you will forgive the slower throttle response (vs. modern BMW) or smoothness, after all, it is more like a race engine with true dry-sump design, and a oil-cooled block (but water-cooled heads)! One more thing worth mentioning: the hand painted body work is just flawless, and the material used in the interior (ie. full grain leather, wool matts/carpets, etc.), despite lacking in precision in how they are put together, are of top quality somewhat deserving of the car's high ticket price.

car is awesome, the communication system should integrate blue tooth instead of a sim card, which my phone company tells me they can't duplicate

Not the best riding car but a great driving car.

I was offered a short drive by a our friend Alan 2 years ago and having always loved Porsches, jumped at the chance. Now please bear in mind this was something I had wanted to do since I first saw a '80s 964 turbo I was in heaven. Now Alan isn't the tallest of chaps and I'm 6'2" and the seat wasn't able to go down far enough for me to stop my knees from rubbing the steering wheel, but we percevered and it was O.K. The suspension was a bit hard but no harder than an Audi and the brakes were a bit hard to push to make it stop handling was just mind bending. There is a 1/4 mile straight of lovely grippy double lane black stuff near us and when Alan told me to floor it from a stand still I did it was just superb, seamless acceleration all the way upto, well that would be telling wouldn't it. I loved every second of it and want one NOW!! But no money so shall have to wait.

A great car to live with, a little heavy on the clutch, but you will soon forget all that when you hit the motorway.

only owned for a few weeks and so far so good. Performance is very impressive as is the handling and even the rides not too bad Heading out to the 'ring shortly to give it a proper test can't wait

Sounds like the thunder with its titanium exhaust including mufflers and air intake cooling system. Goes like a jet once you pas the 3000rpm. Drinks like a fish when you open the throttles but can also be driven with 10ltrs on 100km. Oil consumption is normal with less than 1ltr per 1000km. looks stock but for those that know about this car will notice the details that where modified in a manner that it appears stock.

It’s priced almost 10k above market price for a car almost 20 years old.

it's fast and has a great color. The motor is greatc and it has hydrolics that can come off. It has place for two people so it is light and not heavy so it can go faster.IT has a huge trunk to put things that you buy. It has black windows so noone can see you inside
