Do not take advice from anyone who says a Porsche is their dream car: it simply means that they're blind to its faults. For example, the way both front headlamps mist up like cheap watches on damp days. The windows won't close above 80mph, the wipers are inefficient above 90mph, and leave the glass above 110mph. Alarming understeer when going uphill in the wet - and you don't need to be Isaac Newton to figure out why.

People always say that the second iteration of something is way better than the original but when it comes to this one, I think it is not true at all. I think that the first one is way better than this one because it had more character and a more interesting story as compared to the sequel. I think that the developers just coasted on the success of the first game and made the game with as little standards as possible in the hopes that the fans of the first game will still love it. It is so way different as compared to among us pc, play here if you want or you can go to this free game toca world website.

Performance, handling, braking

Cannot leave it out of my sight. TOO MUCH attention. Everyone wants to touch it, drive it, etc.

Simple the best. This is the greatest car I've ever owned and I've owned ALOT.

* Solidly built, only thing creaking after 32k miles is the leather interior. * A blast to drive. Smooth and sure up to about 110, 120 at which point any slight road imperfection gets the better of the suspension. Moreover at these speeds the car feels a little skittish. * Very comfortable interior, even for a 6'-1", 230 lb. enthusiast like me. * Awesome brakes. * The clack of the six. The sound of the engine on a summer day with the top down. * Sturdy convertible top...low noise level for a convertible top. * Great optional hard-top. Car looks great with it too. * Classy as all hell. (With the exception of the "whale fin" my car came with...previous owner went a little overboard with the Aero kit. * Beautiful lines...a rolling sculpture really. * Always turns heads. Women you meet 'cause of this car will expect the surf AND the turf.

* Dealer Service. I've tried two in Central & Northern NJ (as have my friends) and have nothing good to say. Make sure you carefully research your dealer before you buy. * Lost the clutch before I hit 20k miles. And yes, I know how to drive an 'effin Porsche. * Right side-view mirror doesn't always return to original position after tilting down during reverse. * Lately conv. top works only sporadically from dashboard switch...sometimes need to operate it from door lock. * Anemic wipers and headlights. * Phantom window problem: driver's side window sometimes powers down about half-way all on its own. The other day this happened while I was going through the local car-wash. Luckily it was a hand-wash and the guy stopped when he saw me spitting out water. * Condensation in front left turn signal. * Curbs will eat your 18" wheels if you're not carefull. (Not really a weakness but remember to err on the side of caution.) * Cheesy plastic rear window. * Auto tempature control in name only. * Looks a little too much like a Boxster...I imagine Porsche sells a lot more B's than 911's and part of the reason is the similar appearance but... come on! Have you seen pictures of the '05 Boxster coupe?

Overall...a fast and beautiful car with some problems. Actually, I suspect most of the real issues are with my local Porsche dealers, which seem to have resisted fixing problems, and in some cases, denied that they even existed, while the car was still _under_ warranty. However, I usually have a great time driving the car, top down or up/on. I do spit a bit when I drive my friend's '01 M3 conv. through a corner at speeds that I would never attempt in my '99 Porsche. Or more frustrating, when I suddenly find myself doing 115 mph in the M and I realize that in the Porsche I would definitely have felt it. All this at substantially less and with 37 more hp vs. my '99 911. At the end of the day though, I love my 911 'cause it has always been my dream car, it makes me feel good, and the women love it. Despite my varied complaints, I'm so attached at this point I'm thinking of turning it over to a tuner and having it straightened out. (That is, if I can get over not getting BMW's excellent service and customer care.) Maybe I'm just getting older...hmmm...I wonder if they'll ever make an M6 ragtop.

This is truly a fast car. You cannot appreciate the acceleration until you look in your mirror although you are dead meat for Vetts and the like. The sound-The 996s are only now sounding like Porsches. Resale-They hold their value better than any other car. Fun to Drive. Great brakes. 24mpg highway 18 city After 3 years I am still excited every time I see this car.

Expensive to maintain, but what do you expect for a $75K car. Get to know your tire dealer. Security lock is a pain. You need to start the car within 90 sec of unlocking. No local dealer.

This is a true sports car. My brother said "You have to be a sport to drive a sports car" and the Porsche proves it. It is an insturment, or appliance, for speed on all types of smooth roads. It is well built although a bit crude by 96 standards. Fit and finish are outstanding. You can drive this car like you hate it and never appraoch the full potential of the machine. If you are a driver and enjoy automobiles, then you must own a Porsche sometime in your life. The 993 is the graceful end of the air cooled line. 95s have the advantage of no OBD II so they are cheaper from which to extract additional horsepower. If you find a nice 96-98, they have an additional 12 hp over the 95s at 282hp, so then you can spend your money elsewhere. The style just oozes speed. The car is comfortable and roomy, but my Toyota MR 2 is bigger inside. If you like to do your own work, this car will cure you. It is complicated and things are very difficult to access. Oil changes ar 15K and cost about $200. Take the brakes into the sensors because you replace everything. Plan on $500 for pads. Rear tires seldom last more than 12K which really makey my friend with an NSX envious. Two plugs per cylinder and you need to remove the mufflers for a tune up (30K). Add a strut brace-but you should do that for every car you have.

It''s a Porsche. Not a rice burner. Faster than it looks. "Is that possible?" "Yes, if you know how to drive"

None....I purchased "CHEAP" invested, and have a car worth thousands more than I spent.

This is an up-date of my last review. 7,000 miles later with an older Porsche. Still the 911SC is the best sports car avaible for under $20,000. My car has an original 182,000 miles on it now. It starts every day, and is more than reliable. I have never had a problem. Not to mention the "LOOKS" "COMPLEMENTS" I get every day. I never got that with my newer BMW or Mercedes. A true classic on the way. Vintage it will be soon. Performance? Some may ask. "How fast does it go?" Many ask. Does it really matter? I have had a few MODS done. Mine, It is a true 150 plus car. But does speed really matter? It''s a Porsche for Christ sake. Class always out ranks speed. Catch me on a windy road with your Lexus....Forget about it. It''s a fricken Porsche for Christ sake!!! The fact it is a Porsche will scare you. Only because everyone knows a Porsche, is a Porsche. Made for speed. That rear engine drive will get us through a corner faster than you. Yes, as long as we know how to excellerate and not let off the gas. Porsche is driver "better know how to drive" machine. Know how and when to take advantage of a true racing machine. Myself, I like to steer close into corners and punch the "HELL" on the way out. How many cars with close to 200K can still race up to Big Bear? Ask me you. Not many. 1980''s tech vs 2000? Well, I made a fool of a 2002 Lexus 300is I wonder what it would have been like if the Lexus had real milage and was almost 20 years old. Think of what a new Porsche would have done. Instead of a 10 minute wait, GOD only knows.

None simular. But have had a Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4..Fast, but heavy... RX-7 Twin Turbo.."piece of crap"...Replace everything after 50K... 1990 Corvette, Fun, very fast, but cheap construction. Older

Great looks. The 1994 frog eye headlights are gone. Quick acceleration. Excellent braking. Classic design. Not many 5 year old cars get the attention of a 993.

Windshiled rattle. I understand this is quite common. The Becker CD changer is terrible. Get an aftermarket CD player even if it is not original equipment. Can't see the ignition switch in a dark car. Occasional brake squeal. "Bare-bones" interior.

Always fun to drive. The six speed shifts smoothly. I have driven many cars but none handles as well at high speeds. Stick with the 17" wheels. The 18" wheels are tough driving on New Jersey roads.

Strictly for sports car enthusiasts. Not recommended for long drives. No cup holder and no place to rest your left elbow.

Try to resist the temptation of styling your 993. Most of them look worse than the stock car.

The lighter colors seem to show off the body lines better than the darker colors. This car looks best in polar silver.

This car is a complete package. It is,in my opinion,the best looking car Porsche has ever produced and along with its looks come its staggering performance and capabilities. A rocketship with four wheel drive and unbelievable brakes. In addition the car has a ver comfortable ride quality unlike my other 911's which tended to beat on you a bit. Everyone should get a chance to have a go in one. You wont soon forget it.

The price. But hey, it is holding its value.

Listen, the car is a comfortable rocket that stops on a dime and looks as good as anything ever built for the street doing it. Wet,dry, whatever. This car will run with anything and its' looks are stunning. Everywhere I go I get wild looks and questions. They didn't build many of 'em so you will be in rare company driving one.

If you're concerned about the cost of maintaining a $70,000 supercar then you have no business owning one. Get it and take care of it.

I've heard the NSX is a goodie but would you really rather drive an Acura?? I think not.

WEll built.
Fun to drive.
The car tells you exactly what's going on with it. IT gives you good road feedback so you know when it's losing grip, when it has strong grip, what's going on.
Handles like a dream (of course, it is a Porsche *grin*)
Reliable for the age and care (old and was not taken that best of care). It was my everyday driver for 6 years and only one of those years would I consider it truly unreliable (had a bad year where lots of small things went wrong). What this tells me is a Porsche can last quite a long time if taken care of (and sometimes even when it hasn't). It has 160,000 miles on it

Most to all things I didn't like about the car were because it was old and not well maintained before I got it, so keep that in mind> can't really think of any weakness that I would say was a problem with the car itself. If it had been maintained perfectly, I would consider the car perfect and I can't think of a car that would be better.
It did have water leaks which I am told was an inherant problem with targas (though I'm not sure if that has changed since they changed the targa in 1996). That is the only relevant thing I can think of that wasn't just cause it was not well taken care of

I would highly recomend this car, evne if it is just an old one. If I had the money I'd just keep buying 911s as my car (but they are expensive and I was highly lucky to even own the one I did. very glad I had the experience though, it's worth it. If I ever manage to get enough money I'm buying another one though I think I'll go for a newer and more cared for one, though I do like 1973 model a lot :)). Definitely something to experience once in your life. Excellent car. Sadly I have to sell mine because I have to face the fact it is getting on in years and I don't have the money to maintain a 28 year old car. And I don't have the money to buy another one. It's taken me 3 years to get myself to let go of the car, and I am only doing so now caues I think I might be moving, and I am going to cry when I sell it. It's my baby and I don't want to see her go (I at least want to find some one who will appreciate her). There is a reason that POrsche has the highest owner loyalty, they are excellent cars. They are well built, built to last, pretty reliable (in my experience), and *FUN*. Well worth the high amount of money to buy one and the maintenance costs.
