Porsche 911 (2004-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 5 out of 5

Summary of the Porsche 911 (2004-)

Price Range: £61,744 to £128,307

Assets

Fabulous driver's car, practical and easy to use supercar, best looking modern 911 yet.

Drawbacks

Gently evolutionary styling makes it look a bit too much like the older model. That's about it.

Verdict

Just when you think they can't make the 911 better, they do. The advance isn't huge, but the previous car wasn't exactly lacking.

Porsche 911 Review

Running Costs4 out of 5

A 911 will never be a cheap car to run, but on one of the most important indicators of whole-life running costs the Porsche is unbeatable. Namely, here is a supercar that will hold its value better than any. Porsche have made efforts to reduce other regular costs, notably by increasing the service intervals from 12,000 to 18,000 miles, a move that reduces time in the dealer's garage and this, according to Porsche, should lower regular maintenance by 25 percent in the first four years of ownership. Efforts have also gone into reducing the cost of minor repairs, particularly to the front of the car, with a new design for impact elements in places such as the front bumper. This should make a positive impression on insurance premiums.
