Brief Description

The 911 Supersport was a real headturner, the car featured the 911 interior, bodywork, suspension, brakes and chassis but did not include the Turbocharger unit. A true sports car it is sorely missed.

Reliability

No reliability issues or gremlins to report at all.

Practicality

If you buy a 911 for Practicality then you are buying the car for the wrong reason.

The car is a 2+2, the rear seats are only really useful for very small childer (up to five).

The luggage compartment isn't particularly large so this is not an ideal shopping trolley.

Comfort

Full leather electrically operated seats, air conditioning, electric windows, electric wing mirrors, electric sunroof - basically you name it this car has it. The passenger cabin is a very comfortable place to be. The suspension can be a little hard at times and the clutch can be quite heavy in stop start traffic.

Cost

Reasonable fuel economy considering the 3.2 engine size and performance potential of the car. Parts are expensive should you need them, but the price reflects in the quality this car is pretty much bullett proof.

Overall Rating

A true 80's icon and a sports car legend. Performance is superb and the driving experience is a top notch - it is a little love it or loathe it but I certainly loved it.

Classic timeless looks and the sound of the boxer 6 that keeps begging you to push it adds to the experience.

I would definately recommend anyone condsidering purchasing one takes the plunge.
