Looking for some insight from some one that has lived with a 911 as their primary vehicle. Looked at and test drove this one today. What do you guys think of it.

I pretty much daily drive my 911. It is of the same vintage as that one as well. Mine is an '84 Carrera. Ergonomically it is a strange vehicle. Things seem to be put in odd places. Like for instance, the mirrors are remotely adjustable by a joystick on the driver door. But unlike other cars with this feature the switch for picking which mirror you are adjusting is on the dash away from the joystick. The same for the wipers. It has wiper control on the stalk coming out of the steering column but for slow speed in misty rain there is a knob on the dash... I have yet to figure out the heat and defrost controls and the AC is a cruel joke. Think of it as someone pointing a blow dryer at you on a hot day. The real joke about that is, I am told mine works better than most.
The engine can pull head studs just as the earlier motors can so I wouldn't go as far as "bulletproof". All of that said, I love it. If it sounds like I am complaining above I am not. I think of those things as part of the character. Mine has 60K miles on it now. It looks and feels like a new car. Attached image(s) |
