I really have never got to grips with them.Amazing perfomance,but my God,ugly as sin.It is just a squashed Beetle.

Nothing whatsoever like the other stunning supercars

Nothing wrong with them
Is it a jealousy thing that you need treatment for

Strangly I'm drawn to the mactan now as a performance crossover as I'm getting to old and stiff for cayman / 911

Although it will always have the gay hairdresser / small ***** /mid life crisis / too much money & finance / can't afford a Ferrari Lambo image

But they make some fantastic cars

My old man bought a 993 c4s. 45000 miles 5 years ago 36 k. Just had it valued at 85k
Wtf

I really like them, but more so the older ones, mid 80's early 90's, pretty much the most iconic car out there imo, I even like the Boxter my neighbour is on his second, done right they can look great, not overly keen on the newer ones, but still wouldn't say no.

Yeah I must admit I've never seen the appeal.

I watched the top gear episode last night where they take the GT3, 458 and SLS to America. Why anyone spending that sort of money would choose the Porsche over the other 2 is beyond me . Even where it's supposed to shine I.e on a track, the 458 is still leaps and bounds ahead of it.

I've no doubt they are brilliant to drive, but I want my car to at least look half decent if it's costing me that amount of money, not the same as it did 30 years ago.

I wouldn't say I necessarily hate Porsches but I'm not sure I could own one. Unless you've got the money for one of the weapons grade versions they don't feel particularly special places to be. Then there's the various engine issues in the previous 2 generations of 911/Cayman/Boxster, certanly doesn't fill you with confidence.

Like classic Porsches, but apart from the gt3rs 90% of the modern ones do nothing for me. The macan, cayenne and the panamera are particularly ugly. Have a real soft spot for a singer 911 though.

Can't stand the look of them but by god they drive well They definitely seem to defy the laws of physics the way the engine hangs out of the back!!

2004 911 turbo I drove iirc ( they all look the same to me )

Yes please

I had a 996 911 turbo, fabulous car and the worst thing I ever did was sell it so I could run both a fast Merc and a much modded Impreza. I'm on the look out for another one, but prices have rocketed lately.

I'm sure that most people who say they hate Porsches have a) never owned one, or b) never driven one, or worse c) never even been in one!

I've had two, and doubt I'll have another anytime soon.
Much prefer the Lotus' that each Porsche was swapped for.

Not my cup of tea, the high end ones look nice but 150k+ there's better out there.

RB5SCOTT

I quite like them

ScoobyDoo555

quite like mine too - only a regular "cooking" Porsche, but it's mine nevertheless

martinnitram

I love porsches, but only the proper ones

ScoobyDoo555

Indeed - yours has an engine made of metal! Mine's fortified chocolate

martinnitram

So's my hawkeye WRX, according to the 'experts'.

I love Porsche's but been left dissopointed with the entry model 911's(Carrera's 2/4 etc) that ive been in, would love a go in a Turbo/GT3/RS and see what the real fuss is about.

BenWRXSEI

Good point - don't believe everything you read on the interwebs. Here's our family fleet - 82k on the hawkeye (30k by me in the last 14 months) and 120k on the 996. Both doing well



As for the 911 - this one is a lesser or common 996.2 C2, with the wrong roof and the wrong gearbox. It's still a real treat to drive though...
