Porsche 911:Review the specs, features and pros & cons

Porsche 911 Safety

The Porsche 911 comes with a wealth of safety features, especially in the more recent models. Drivers looking for new or certified pre-owned Porsche 911 cars will find lots of standard and available features, such as:

• Rearview camera
• Parking sensors
• Forward collision warning
• Traffic sign recognition
• Blind spot monitoring

In 2017, Porsche added many advanced driver safety systems that are being used in today's cars. Models older than 2017 have features like brake assist, daytime running lights, airbags and auto-levelling headlights.  

Porsche 911 Interior

As you'd expect from a six-figure luxury sports car, the Porsche 911 is decked out in high-end finishes designed for comfort and convenience, although some drivers may notice a few hard plastics in the 2020 model. Two bucket seats are available in the back, and while the coupe design may make it difficult for some passengers to climb in, the cabriolet body with the top down makes it much easier to get in the back.

Some interior highlights include:

• Sun/moonroof
• Heated/cooled leather seats with lumbar support
• Dual-zone A/C
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Rear and forward-facing cameras

Porsche 911 Technology

In 2017, the Porsche 911's infotainment system was updated to include Apple CarPlay. Bluetooth and an MP3 hookup have been available since 2011. It may take some time to get used to the 2018 model's infotainment system, but the most recent model is equipped with an intuitive system and easy-to-use controls. Drivers can expect to find these standard tech features in recent Porsche 911 models:

• Wi-Fi hotspot
• Smartphone integration
• Auxiliary jack
• AM/FM/Satellite radio

Porsche 911 Space

The Porsche 911 has comfortable, spacious seating for the front-seat driver and passenger, including lots of head- and legroom. The front seats are plush and customizable, with steering wheel and seat adjustments. As with all Porsche coupes and convertibles, the Porsche 911's trunk is located in the hood and can fit up to two weekend bags but not much else. There are two seats in the back row—however, they're more suitable for smaller passengers.

Porsche 911 Comfort

It can be hard for automakers to make their vehicles both powerful and comfortable, but the Porsche 911 doesn't sacrifice comfort for performance. The Porsche 911's base engine can reach speeds of well over 300 km/h. Though, even at these race-track speeds, the driver still feels in control. Steering is precise, and handling is smooth and athletic. Because of its coupe body style, backseat passengers will likely feel cramped—though, there's spacious seating and ample legroom in the front row.
