Porsche 911 Targa 911 (996) Targa 2d (2003/03) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Great value for a supercar - holds value well too.
Costs
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
Great driver's car - still twitchy on the limit for mere mortal drivers (like me!)
Performance
Get the revs right and it flies. Hard to keep at 70 (officer...)

Living with it
Reliability
Again, so far so good! Some problems with the radio though.
Image
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
Can be tiring after 4+ hours at the wheel. Only for two really.

Security and Service
Security
So far so good - most insurer's require a Tracker type device though.
Service
Nothing too much problem for the dealer (Porsche Colchester). They even came to pick me up when I collected the vehicle.
