Porsche 911 Cabriolet Carrera Sport 2d (1989/F) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Wow - I've owned it for two years and still love it.
Costs
Does 25mpg, costs a little more to service than the average Mondeo, but holds its value like a gold bar.

On the road
Driving
Excellent. I've yet to find the tail hanging out as I was warned, but it's never going to be a Mini.
Performance
It's good, but it's 13 years old and I'm sure a Supra Turbo will give it some competition at 10% of the cost (I traded a Supra Turbo for the 911).

Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't gone wrong yet and I've done 29,000 miles in 19 months.
Image
Not for posers - get real - this IS the poodle's dangly bits.
Comfort
Don't bother if you're a fat-bottom girl, otherwise 'snug' (bloody noisy).

Security and Service
Security
Any old stanley knife lets you in, but then the Cat 1 lets every one know.
Service
Autowerke in Norwich - Mathew knows his stuff.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Leaks a bit of oil, but at £17 for 5 litres, not worth a £2500 top-end rebuild (YET!)
Other
If it's such a fanny magnet, why aren't they queuing up.
Ownership

Used
Would you buy the same model again?
