Porsche 911 Targa verdict
2024 onwards
(change model)
If you’re taken by the 911 Targa’s distinctive look, you’ll be buying a great sports car. However, it is arguably the most pointless of the 911s. A 911 Cabriolet may be more blustery with the roof down, but it’s quieter and has infinite headroom for those in the back as well as the front.
As good as the Targa is to drive, it isn’t quite as sharp or agile as a Coupe, and the single engine makes it an expensive choice. Thankfully, the hybrid-enhanced engine in the GTS is revvier and more responsive than lesser 911 engines.
Overall, I’d still have the 911 Targa over an Aston Martin Vantage Roadster or Mercedes-AMG SL as it’s better to drive and more usable. That said, I’d have a 911 Cabriolet over all of them.
