2008 Porsche 911 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

this car is a beast. Its a instant classic and i never see brothers push it. love this whip.

Great engineering performance beyond my dreams classic design a true performance package. Car needs to be driven

Well balanced in corners side to side and acceleration back to front.

PERFORAMANCE: Amazing acceleration, fantastic brakes, brilliant AWD handling..... and the sound under full acceleration..... nothing short of heaven. Only minor negative issues - turbo lag and "heavy" rear end.... just like any 911....:-) QUALITY: Nothing compares to the build quality from Porsche. Every gap is consistent, and the various mechanical/electronic system all function flawlessly. APPEARANCE: Loads of room in the front. (I am 6'-4". 250 lbs) Forget about the back seats..... Exterior styling is appropriate for this type of car, and the interior is typical German efficiency. Although the GPS and sound system controls are not very good. Porsche should consider a touch screen system in lieu of the roller wheels. COST OF OWNERSHIP: Expensive to buy, maintenance is not too expensive, as you do not have the first scheduled maintenance until 20K miles. (I recommend a minor service every 5K if you drive the car like it should be driven.) Gas mileage is very good for a car with 480 HP. On a recent 400 miles road trip, I hit 25 mpg cruising at "higher" than normal cruising speeds. In and around town, I am getting around 18 mpg. FUN FACTOR: All I can say is; AWESOME!! I test-drove most cars at the same price point, as well as with comparable performance, (AMG SL63, Nissan GTR, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, etc.) but the 911 Turbo is the "true" and classic sports car. I was not looking for a flashy car, but a great driving machine, and that is what I got. In short, buy one if you can.

The Carrera S is an amazing car, and it is an honor to carry on the Porsche tradition. It is the purist automobile that I have ever owned....comfort, speed, handling, braking, and extremely high quality. Porsche is one of the few companies that has remained true to it's lineage. If you have not driven one, you need to. "Porsche. There is no substitute".

Positives are fun to drive, still good looking, reliable, quality Negatives - rising prices, rear 19 inch rubber wears quickly, needs good care.

Porsche continues to build exceptional performance vehicles that you can comfortable drive everyday. Exotic looks and styling with surprisingly good gas mileage. I have always been impressed with Porsche cars since my first 944 turbo at age 21. I have been hook ever since!

Fantastic car to drive especially in the mountains, great fun in fall and spring, top down probably to hot for in the Colorado summer, great reliability, updated to all the entertainment electronic options including bluetooth, iPod, USB, satellite radio and more.

Great power and handling. Stereo not so good. Interior is beautiful. Power is immense. The brakes are powerful but need snow tires for winter driving because of the tires, not the brakes. Interior noise is minimal. Carbon fiber interior is nice too.

This has got to be the ultimate production 911. Onced squeezed into the bucket seats and belted up, it feels great even before you start moving. When you do, the GT3 RS makes a standard 911 feel like a limousine! The ride quality is very 'race car'. Performance is 100% and with retro colours, the 911 GT3 RS definately looks the part.

The car handled amazing, the brakes were awsome, and the acceleration would leave most things in the dust wondering what that black blurr was. A 6'2'' guy like me easily fit into one as well.

Performance is outta this world Quite inside - loud outside Fun car to drive, amazing for high speed turns. The design is perfect, elegance combine with aerodynamics Works for city and highway driving. Thats all i have to say about it

it's a WOW !!! astonishing, fun to drive, must be tried at least once in a live time... look, handeling, braking, apperance, acceleration , never have I drove something to compare! It's full garantied so the cost of repear I don't know yet... but it never breakss...

If your looking for a getaway car to head out on curvy mountain roads or strait high speed shots across the high plains this is it .this car will will not disappoint ,this is the best car ive owned and now its time for a new one

Perfect grip (including traction control) has great acceleration, speedy and all round great. interior is stylish and also comfortable 2 door with boot space, good aerodynamics hardtop.

It is the last generation with manual transmission and in terms of performance and response it is amongst the top porche performing cars

This is a cool car that is well built and has a nice sound to it. It has a very nice interior and exterior and it is very fun to drive and be a passenger of. This is one really nice car!

best car ever!!!! extremly fast beautiful noise just grips and grips and grips absolutly no lag doesnt matter what gear power is instintaneous seats are soo confortable did about 200k in it non stop verry comfortable on cruise control and sat nav is soo presice and accurate 0-60 3.9 top speed i think about 320 - 330 no problems what so ever ( till now )

Equipped with tiptronic this car is really the ultimate cruiser on a warm summer day. Sure if you want to go fast it's no problems but there are better cars out there if you want to go fast.

the cars performance is amazing. the handling is a lot better than the S because of the weight but its a great car to drive. its perfect daily driver. the car makes you feel great while driving it. great on the track

Well what is there to say... Its a porsche and its great fun to drive... Only negative thing to say is the running cost of the damn thing... But it actually dosn't really consume that much so on that behalf its okay...

High Im a collector and Im a big believer in Porsche. Many years and through many brands and I mus say from a point of view that I have, driven most cars and by far 911 is king
