Performance and handling is excellent.
Rough ride, but that's to be expected.
Very tight fit, anyone over 6' or with a few extra pounds may very uncomfortable.
Love the low rumble of the engine.
The car costs more than a typical vehicle to maintain/repair, but the costs are still reasonable.
Do yourself a favor, learn a bit about the engine operation, even do a task or two - things get very affordable if you don't mind a little dirt and grease.
Try to find a specialist and try to buy your parts wholesale.
Gas mileage is surprisingly good, I get 25 miles to the gallon on average.
Very reliable daily driven car.
Reliable, steady on all surfaces???
Try it in the wet weather and then change your underpants! If you like to drive a car as opposed to cruise around town - which it seems you do - the car will make you very old before your time when driven in the wet. My back end which normally came back in nicely decided on a wet day to carry on powersliding out. Not nice and quite expensive for the insurance company.
I now cruise around in it...sometimes!
Good luck.
Cruising is cool, I love to drive my Porsche nowhere in particular on a regular basis!
Perhaps you were driving to fast in the wet when you booted it.
I would say to any new 911 driver find a quiet large car park/ air strip/Track and find the limits and know what to do when it gets hairy.
I also love to give my 911 a real drive and to date I have had some great powerslides and still have my full no claims bonus. Tyre costs have been kept secret from the Mrs though.
Suggest you stay in garage and polish.
I really love to drive my 1990 Carrera 4 Cabiolet It holds the road well if you install the right tires. Had it sold, but the guy backed out, in the mean time I bought a 2001 Carrera Cab and now much to my suprize now I have two. I call it my collection. I get a lot more looks from the old one. Totally two different automobiles, both are true sports cars. Now I love them both can't get my self to sell one.
I love my 90 carrera 4 with all my heart! this vehicle stops on a dime and responds like no other vehicle I have ever owned! I'm 45 and wish I had gotten her a long time ago.
