Safety and After Sales Service – The 911 gets all your usual safety features including an advanced traction control system and 6 airbags. The impressive build quality is an added assurance. Since it is an over-engineered car, expect extremely professional service and care.
Verdict – Drive the Porsche 911 and you will understand why it is praised so much. This car is a driver’s delight and the amount of effort that has gone into fine-tuning the dynamics can be perceived the moment you take it on a winding road. The performance from the turbocharged flat-six is sensational. It is a polished motor with no lag and astonishing levels of refinement. The 911 is so good as a daily driver, you wouldn’t mind taking it to your board meetings. The interior is one of the highlights with impressive quality and good creature comforts. So that’s the 911. Like always, it looks drop-dead-gorgeous, handles like a dream, performs impeccably and yet feels very civilised. Sure, with prices starting at Rs. 2 crores (on-road, Mumbai), excluding options, the 911 is not cheap. But you will struggle to find a car that can match 911’s depth of abilities. We absolutely loved it.
