2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet review from North America
"The car you wanted since you were 10 is worth the wait"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Exceptional handling, especially for a convertible.
Utter confidence on the road with oodles of power to spare.
Light and direct steering and absolute perfection of a gearbox.
The fabric top makes the interior surprisingly quiet when it's up, but you would never want to do that.
Make sure you have the wind deflector - it helps considerably to cut down the wind >75mph.
