I had always promised myself a Porsche 911 when the middle age crisis even threatened to manifest it'self (any excuse) it took me nearly two years of searching for the right car and patience paid dividends.
the niggling doubt of "never meet your hero for fear of disappointment" was apparent up until two minutes into the first drive and although it had almost 65k on the clock it felt like it had just been delivered from the factory. Don't let a little thing like mileage put you off a 911, service history and receipts speak volumes.
I couldn't be happier with my 911and when it is time for it to go it will be replaced by another.

This car has covered nearly 20,000 miles pa since I bough it five and half years ago. It now has 170,000 miles on the clock, so it would be surprising if it had not had some replacement parts (eg lights, exhaust, clutch, suspension bearings, discs and pads, cabriolet roof etc)! It is a superb car, which is addictive to drive, long legged and extraordinarily undemanding on the driver on a long journey (eg London to Glasgow, Calais to the Alps). I have never owned a car which has given me such pleasure!

An almost perfect car only slightly let down by a sluggish Tiptronic gearbox (worse than my previous 996) Turbo lag much reduced and ride much better than 996 but still needs improvement. Better quality shock absorbing would help. Surprising economical for a 550hp car (DMS conversion) at 25mpg on long journeys.

The DMS 997 Turbo is the best car I have owned in 45 years. Unlike Ferrari's it always starts and everything works. It is also easy and relaxing to drive, in spite of 550 BHP it is as intimidating as a pussy cat.

Excellent car, still takes the whole (young) family but has a weakness with the ignition coil packs. These have failed once and were in poor condition at the last service. Unacceptable on a vehicle of this type.

The 911 was an aspiration, and when I could afford one, I bought one. Haven't been disappointed. The only car I would consider changing it for would be another one (preferably a Turbo!)

It's an old cliche, but the 911 is indeed the everyday supercar! Being German, everything just works, I've driven Porsches for the last 10 years and never had any probelms

This 911 Turbo 997 Generation 2 car is simply stunninigly good and whilst expensive is still exceptional value given the phenominal performance!!!

Avoid chasing dreams. The dissilusion and disappointment of finding the truth behind the myth is a hard pill to swallow.

Superb fun to drive and own. Costs a little higher than anticipated, but nothing too unexpected for this class of car.

The 911 has lived up to what I expected and hoped for. Excellent car - would buy another without question.

Best car I've ever owned and I would buy another but can't find one as high spec at a reasonable price.

A great car that I would have marked higher but for the issue I have had with Porsche UK

The 911 Turbo is a hard car to replace. The only option is another 911 Turbo.
