1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Back in garage 4 times for faulty alarm
2. Warning lights coming on intermittently
3. Car finally taken by Porsche GB for 4-day examination
4. Attracts far too many insects at high speeds
General comments?
After initial problems and appointment of a new sales exec the car and the dealer now live up to expectations. Stunning performance, grip and general personality. Going to add carbob dashboard, white dials and rear spoiler from Turbo. Had considered M3 Evo and Ferrari 348 but 911 has it all. Can't see myself ever selling the car....PS don't buy another blue or silver car.
