I've wanted a 911 Porsche since I was 13, and I finally got it.

Over all I LOVE this car. The handling is sharp with out being harsh. With
the top up there's little wind noise, and when down there's little
buffeting. I've had zero mechanical problems.

A few down points:
I have the leather power seats. If the weather hadn't be so miserable I'd
have turned around and returned it the day I picked it up because the seat
hurt my lower back so bad. Instead I stopped at a craft store and picked up
1.5 inches of chair foam and a nice fabric, and now I have no complaints
even on long drives.

I don't much like the instrument layout. The analog speed-o is useless.
and the two outer dials are invisible when my hands are in normal driving
position.

It's ridicules that to order the car I had to go page-by-page thru a inch
thick pile of paper checking things off. It's 2006. why isn't this online?
I also suspect it's why my car showed up it some interior parts with the
wrong finish. Unacceptable for a $100k+ auto!

Maybe the Tiptronic 5-speed works ok with a different engine, but in this
car it REALLY needs a sixth gear! Also, in auto mode the trany tends to
"hunt" way to much on hilly terrain.


With that said, would I buy it again? YOU BET!!!
