1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cooling belt failed in 1998. I was 1/2 mile from a specialist who fixed the problem the same morning.
The car lost power, which turned out to be a belt on one of the distributors.
Electric mirror motors had to be replaced.
General comments?
Having owned TVR 390SE, 400SE and Griffith 500 previously, I have been pleasantly shocked at the incredible build quality and performance - a Griffith 500 couldn't out drag the 911.
The car has 18" Speedlines which makes the ride a bit hard, but has amazing grip. Other mods include RUF exhaust and chip.
This is the first Porsche I have owned and am completely smitten with the marque. Next on the list will be the 993 Turbo 4 at the end of the year.
