Reply to: What Porsche 911 are you driving?

Why is it not good for daily drive?

To name a few:
Cost of maintenance is much higher on a turbo.
Mileage hit.
Leaving it in any car park while your at work/shopping would be a mare.

The car itself would be fine, its the headache that comes with it that's the problem.

All 911's attract attention, some unwelcome, and the turbo more so.

WHICH Porsche, WHICH FFS.

Not really, if your going to use whatever you buy as your daily driver I would say no.

Where's the 944 option?

I wasn't aware we had any hairdressers here.

What worries me is that someone is stupid enough to leave an £80K 911 in Wythenshawe !! I worked there for a while... Everyday the journey from car to office was like the Krypton Factor, trying to avoid getting mugged

ta dude - you are clearly the last true IT contractor on this forum!

Is Turbo model the one to have?

If you want it just as a garage queen, then probably yes.

Essential on the Turbo, but worthless on anything else unfortunately. I had a C4S, it understeered when pushed hard into corners (with PSM off). The car seemed way to heavy to me. The effect is removed on the C2S, so it must be down to the fact of the haldex system.

The turbo has a completely different 4WD system, the front/rear bias is different and the torque vectoring system is standard I think.


The C4S definately had no advantage in the rain/snow over my older 993 C2, even though on paper, it should have.

Waste of money in my opinion, you could always enrol in the Camp4/Camp4S Porsche program in Finland, places still available for this year, this should give you a good insight.

Is 4 wheel drive worthwhile going for on 911?

Just taken delivery of my new one - a 991 C2 Cab. Fantastic car, much better than the 997.2 I had. Really impressed.
