Other than the sheer performance of the Porsche 911 compared to my previous VW Golf Diesel the other shock owning a Porsche 911 has been the cost of insurance. Thanks to now being over 40 it appears the premiums for comprehensive insurance have now mellowed. The cost for the 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (996 model) worked out at £300 per year compared to £280 for the Golf diesel.
Not bad for a car that hits 60 miles per hour in half the time and can reach over 170mph where legal!
The diary of a Porsche 911 and former 944 Owner. I have now bought a 1998 Porsche 911 having previously owned a 2001 model 911 Carrera 2 and 1986 Porsche 944. This car is an early 996 C2 coupe with 3.4 engine/manual transmission and cable throttle. This is intended to document my experiences with the Porsche 911 over time including any problems and the running costs of maintaining a 21 year old Porsche 911
