2006 Porsche 911 Highlights

"A turbocharged model returns to Porsche's flagship sports car lineup as a 2007 model. The 911 roster includes rear-wheel drive Carrera and all-wheel drive Carrera 4. Both are available as the sportier Carrera S, and all offer coupe and convertible body styles. Turbos are AWD coupes only. All 911s use rear-mounted, horizontally opposed 6-cyl engines. Carreras have 325 hp, Carerra S models have 355 hp, and Turbos have 480 hp. An optional Power Kit for S versions increases horsepower to 381. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard. A 5-speed automatic with manual shift gate and steering-wheel controls is optional. Also standard: ABS, traction/antiskid control, front side airbags, and side airbags that deploy from the windowsills. Convertibles have a power top and heated glass rear window. Turbos have specific suspension tuning, brakes, and styling. Optional on all 911s is a Sport Chrono Package that alters various engine and chassis controls for high-performance driving."
2006 Porsche 911 News

"German automakers tend to roll out new model families in stages. Porsche is no exception. Now that ""987"" Cabrios have joined the new-generation 911 coupes, we shouldn't have long to wait for updated AWD Carrera 4 and Turbo versions. We'd expect them as '06 models arriving this fall and/or early in the new year."
2006 Porsche 911 Competition

"Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Offering more power and style than typical Sporty/Performance vehicles, Premium Sporty/Performance Cars usually cost much more and have more comfort and convenience equipment. Two-passenger convertibles and 4-seat coupes rule the roost in this class.
Our Best Buy is Chevrolet Corvette. Our Recommended picks include BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz CLK."

2006 Porsche 911 Write Ups
 

Acceleration
"Torque-rich engine delivers bursts of speed in virtually any circumstance. Works in impressive harmony with precise-shifting manual transmission. With manual, Porsche pegs Carrera at 4.8 sec 0-60 mph, Carrera S at 4.6. Turbos remain among the world's fastest cars. Porsche says under 4 sec with manual or automatic transmission. Performance suffers little with crisp-shifting automatic; it's most always in the right gear and can be operated like a manual."

Value
"Desirable for their unique high-performance driving experience alone, 911s also offer enviable durability and, for a sports car, surprising utility. You'll pay plenty, but all Carreras retain lots of value at resale time."

Ride
"Low-profile, high-speed tires, taut suspension, short wheelbase combine for ride that's extremely firm, though seldom punishing, despite rear tires' tendency to jolt over sharp surface imperfections. Carreras with adjustable suspension set in Sport mode can border on harsh. Test convertible showed impressive structural stiffness, with little body flex over bumps."

Economy
"Test manual-transmission Carrera 4 averaged 17.2 mpg in mostly highway driving. Test manual-transmission Carrera S averaged 17.6 mpg; ranged from 13.6 mpg in city driving, 21.6 in highway trip. Test Turbo Cabriolet averaged 16.1 mpg in mostly highway driving. No opportunity to measure with automatic transmission. All 911s require premium-grade fuel."

Noise
"Lots of engine, tire noise, but no more than other ultra high-performance sports cars. And Porsche's unique engine sound music to the ears. Cabriolets have insulated, nicely trimmed tops that isolate well against highway wind noise. Top-down wind noise enough to drown out conversation. Some squeaks, rattles noted in test Carrera 4."

Comfort - Front
"Low-slung cockpit taxes entry/exit, but there's good room once aboard. Seats hug without binding, are long-haul supportive. Good basic driving position. Convertible has blind spots at rear corners with top up."

Comfort - Rear
Toddler-sized seat has split folding backrests. Best used as padded parcel hold.

Controls
"Gauges monitor daunting array of functions, performance; are very closely spaced and to some testers, lose clarity when lights must be turned on in daytime rain or overcast. Controls in redesigned Carerras less haphazardly placed than in vintage-1999 models, but many buttons still undersized and take time to decipher. Navigation system inoperative on test Carrera 4, but audio functions it absorbs take time to master. Latest cabin materials generally solid, upscale, though far from extravagant. Considering price, older-design models disappoint with mediocre molded plastics in obvious spots."

Cargo Room
Not much. A weekend's soft luggage fits in back-seat area. Front compartment takes a couple of gym bags.
