Porsche 911 Cabriolet (05 on) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 22 June 2006 Last Updated: 18 February 2011 Like the Coupe, the 911 Cabriolet has benefitted from constant evolution making it quicker and more useable than ever. While it may not seem an obvious choice in the UK, it does add that extra bit of posing ability and looks just as good as the rest of the 911 range. Lowering the fabric roof is quick and simple - and doing so allows you to enjoy the incredible noise of the engine even more, while the sense of speed and acceleration is further heightened. And although it doesn't have a fixed roof, it's as good to drive as the Coupe and handles equally as well thanks to a rigid body shell. In mid-2008 it was facelifted, along with the rest of the 911 range, with subtle exterior tweaks plus new engines. A double-clutch PDK automatic gearbox was also introduced. 5 out of 5 Other Porsche reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £75,760 - £134,638 View all new prices Used price range: £22,726 - £112,630 View all used prices Get a Porsche 911 Cabriolet (05 on) information pack Next steps Porsche 911 Cabriolet cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
