For The 911’s eye-popping performance, sublime steering, phenomenal grip and howling flat-six engine make a truly addictive cocktail.
Against Running costs, road noise and cramped rear accommodation aside, there’s little to detract from 911 ownership.
What Car? says
Porsche's 911 is still an excellent sports car, and one of the few that can be used every day

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
If you’ve got your heart set on a Porsche 911, then congratulations, you’ll be making a brilliant choice. Your options aren’t over just yet, though.
There are a number of different versions that range from fast to very, very furious. The base models have a 341bhp 3.6-litre engine, while S has a 380bhp 3.8 and GTS a 402bhp 3.8. If you want something even more hardcore, there’s always the 429bhp GT3, the 493bhp Turbo, or the 523bhp GT2.
Some of these cars also come with a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive, so that’s another thing to mull over. You can also choose a Targa version, which has a large sunroof that slides back to expose you to the elements almost as much as the cabriolet, but without the cabrio’s wobblier body and mushier suspension.
Whichever 911 you pick, you won’t be disappointed because they’re all fantastic. However, we reckon that the GTS strikes the best balance between performance and everyday usability.
