""It was a lot of little stuff that had the car constantly in and out of the shop. The "major" problem was a camshaft solenoid (IIRC) that puzzled just about everyone until a regional-level mechanic figured it out. By then the car had been out of service for about 45 days during it's first year. Build quality was HORRIBLE and bits and pieces of interior trim kept coming loose. The car had rattling rear quarter windows and rear window that the dealer couldn't never 100% fix. The a/c compressor failed 3x. So in summary, I had cars built during Detroit's dark years of the 70s that were better built and more reliable. The 997 really soured me on Porsche for a good year, and now I'm just coming around again, and that's because I lusted after a 911 since I was a kid."""
Wow. Such a sad state of affairs for a $100K car.
Does Porsche Germany ever get notice of these kinds of issues from PCNA?
Do they care?
I have a 993, and used to have a 911 (86 year before the G50). Then I had
both for awhile.
I prefer the 911s sharper and more crisp handling. I also prefer the older
suspension and the older steering... it was just more responsive to me as
a driver. (i am in the minority regarding my opinions and experiences on this).
Overall though, the 993 is far superior. Faster, more torque, much less
of the little repair issues that all the older 911s seem to have. AC works...The car has
been rock solid for 2 years with nothing needed, other than tires.
I do miss the old 911 Sport Seats though....
