Porsche 911 Review

Comfort and Equipment4 out of 5

The Turbo's trump card is its usability.

It has a moderate amount of boot space and a pair of rear seats that only the smallest of children will find acceptable, but which double as a perfect golf bag perch and whose squabs fit a swollen supermarket bag to perfection.

The front cabin is spacious, the standard seats are better than the winged optional sports efforts and every conceivable option is available - although some will cost you extra. Sat nav is standard though.

This is a car that proves very comfortable over long distances, which is both good and bad news. It gives the Turbo an air of usability that no rival can match, but it also exposes the hopeless fuel tank: you'll be stopping for petrol, not because your body feels in any way fatigued.
