1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed at 10 years of age, 110k miles.
Replaced clutch at 6 years of age, 70k miles.
General comments?
I continue to be pleasantly surprised by how reliable this car is and how little maintenace it requires. It seems to thrive on being driven hard. I race it on weekends and drive a short (2 mile) commute to work every day, with no ill effects. At 12 years of age, this car still looks good, runs great and is still very satisfying to drive.
