The 997 4s really is a fantastic every day sports car with blistering, but usable performance, that is delivered through a raw and emotional driving experience. This is especially true when compared to the newer 991 that heralded the introduction of aids like PASM, electric steering, and, more recently turbos across the entire line. This carefully maintained example tops that off with upgrades that take that feeling to the next level. The 3.8L M97 howls at upper RPMs through the awesome sounding Speedtech exhaust that has to be heard. Its perfect - not too loud and not too quiet, zero drone, and presents the perfect balance between harmonic pitch and depth. This engine has fantastic character that subsequent DFI engines cant match. The combination of the OEM short-shift kit and the Numeric shift linkage cables have also resulted in rifle-bolt gear changes that slide into gear with a fantastic click. A complete list of upgrades includes:OEM 997 Short Shift kitOEM 997 GT3 RS Rear BumperOEM 997 Turbo wing with top blade delete (original wing available)OEM 997 Brake Light delete panel (with use of the Turbo wing brake light, original available)OEM lighted Carrera 4s door sillsOEM clear side markersOEM Spare tire kit and tools in the trunkOEM 997 Turbo shifter knobOEM Factory painted dashboard trim, door handles, door pull and shifter trimHeated seatsNumeric aluminum shifter cablesHRE P40SC - 19 with Michelin PS2 in stock sizes (2,000 miles on this package)BBS 18 winter wheels and Michelin Alpin tires (spacers included with sale)Titanium lug boltsSpeedtech center exit exhaust with 200 cell cats with matte carbon fiber tips (original exhaust parts front lipExtended leather door sills, center console, coin tray, and shifter trimDenison bluetooth music streaming and phone call Breakdown: The car needs nothing and has been maintained with an open checkbook. Any service and repair work was done as needed but other than the shifter cables (common 997 problem), the water pump (replaced as the pulley was looking tired), and the door locks (mechanism wouldnt lower the windows on one side but we decided to change both in case the other was going to go as well), the car has just needed regular 5k mile oil and filter changes. The only thing I havent tracked down is that the PCM will flicker or shut off for 10 mins or so about 2-3 times a year. As it comes back on pretty quickly, it hasnt bothered me too much. Otherwise, I am pretty obsessive about my cars so this 997 has received constant attention. Rear brakes are at around 15% so thats the next maintenance item. Notable maintenance history includes:Purchased at Porsche Springfield, MAAlways serviced at Porsche Westwood, MAAll maintenance records availableDoor locks and window mechanisms replaced at 55,000Water pump replaced at 57,00060,000 mile service completed in March 2016 including spark plug flushed and seals replaced at 61,000All records, books, and keys are available. Cosmetic Breakdown: The car is as close to perfect as you will find for a 997. The interior buttons and switches all work as they should with no visible discoloration common with this vintage. The windshield took a pebble that created a little nick in the glass 3 years ago. That pebble also left a 1-inch scratch on the front roof but its not very noticeable. Otherwise, the car has gotten regular details and washes and the paint shines very well. If you are looking for a 997, the car Total 911 magazine said is the best 911 generation ever with namesakes like the revered GT2 RS, GTS, or Speedster, this is one to seriously consider.

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble
By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Going on sale in November, the Panamera S E-Hybrid is aimed at customers also considering the upcoming plug-in version Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the car's dimensions and performance could make it a competitor for Tesla Model S customers. We headed to Germany at Porsche's invitation to see how well it performs, as well as check out the full range of newly refreshed Panamera models, which now numbers nine offerings - although we're still waiting for a production version of the gorgeous Sport Turismo wagon concept.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
