2000 Porsche 911 carrera cabriolet review from North America

Tyres needed balancing and replacement... I'm on my third set of rear tyres and second set of fronts. Poor alignment was the problem. Dealer couldn't fix for under $450 plus tyres. Went to Porsche garage locally and had them replace tyres with Toyos and align. Other than that no problems although those tyres were over $1000 each pair to replace. Front drivers mat has come unstuck. Other than that this car is one of the best in terms of reliability in my 9 car/truck fleet.

This Cabriolet is painted sinister black. It is not the fastest Porsche I have driven and I do dislike people saying "nice Boxster" :) but this cab is trully an amazing machine.

The car pulls strongly away from the line always and is a willing competitor in the street. The engine sings nicely althought I did like my 1997 unit a bit better - it sounded better and I think was a better driver for my driving style which is FIERCE.

The seats in the 911 cab are not too comfortable for a guy my size and as a result my shoulders are not supported well (find the seat backs are narrow). The roof goes up and down quickly and is very quiet once up.

I love all porsches (well, I do have issues with my 356) and compared to my other cars is my favourite marque. I will be keeping this car until I'm pushing up the daises! This car has excellent road feel. Don't like the front end that much and the rear is gorgeous.
