Porsche 911 Targa 2001-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great value for a supercar - holds value well too.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Expensive to buy and insure, servicing ok though consumables expensive. Fuel prices not bad if you're gentle, but watch and weep if you floor it!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great driver's car - still twitchy on the limit for mere mortal drivers (like me!)

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Get the revs right and it flies. Hard to keep at 70 (officer...)

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Again, so far so good! Some problems with the radio though.

    Everyone loves to hate a Porsche driver - more so than other quality marques. No chance of getting 'let' out of side streets. Beautiful looking car though and you get lots of 'corner of the eye' glances

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can be tiring after 4+ hours at the wheel. Only for two really.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So far so good - most insurer's require a Tracker type device though.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nothing too much problem for the dealer (Porsche Colchester). They even came to pick me up when I collected the vehicle.
