1995 Porsche Carrera; C2 Cabriolet 96,900 +/- miles

Rear engine, air cooled 3.6 ltrs., Tiptronic (automatic / shiftable) transmission.

Auto Check Report 2005 March: Only issue was a leased vehicle. Auto Check now reports a little or no damaged accident in December 04, prior to my purchase.

I / we have owned since March 05, purchased with 72.000 miles +/-.

Things i've done to the car since owning:

05 Had factory recall wire harness replaced, vehicle checked by Porsche of Orlando. OC / Filter.

06 Replaced the top, and had new leathers installed on seats, see pictures. New wheels and tires. OC / Filter.

07 Replace CV joints and boots. OC / Filter.

08 Trans and oils changed, new wires and caps, coils. OC / Filter.

09 OC / Filter. Replaced face on all gauges to white. Top adjusted.

10 Replaced front & rear disks, new rotors on front

11 Car was repainted / factory / original color. 39 S Aventurine Green Metallic

12 AC system; new evaporator, drier, rebuilt compressor, gaskets and o rings, stays a steady 60 at the ports when it's 90+ (Florida).

13 Transmission serviced, 20K since last done. New tires, rebuilt calipers and painted red.

The present condition of the top is as follows: on each side where the door and the top come together, the fabric for the top has been worn, this was due to the use of a polisher.

The 2 badges on the roof, the drivers side had a small rip, it was repaired and waterproofed from the inside, the badge hides a scar, passenger done to match the drivers side.

Things that will need to be in do time:

The Mcpherson struts are showing age, the boots on the cylinders are shot, the pistons do not leak.

The warning light for the top being locked stays on, the micro switch needs to be replaced, not a big deal, just have not gotten to it.

There is a small oil leak, (check picture) this happens after having it out and is the same "size" wether the car sits a week or a month. Believe it to be the valve covers, the original covers are molded plastic and can warp. This showe dup after I put new gaskets on the covers.

The car has not been raced or rallied, i bought because I have wanted a 911 since I was 18, that would be in 68. I've maintained it better than all of the previous owners, as best as I can tell.

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
