I haven't driven a 991 yet but the performance speaks for itself. As a DIY mechanic the engine access scares me a bit, but when buying a nearly new car you hope that's less of an issue.

You know, it's true the rear bumper comes off for a lot of stuff but it's really not that hard - nor very time consuming..
I did my first oil change last w/e (bumper stays on!) and it was the easiest/fastest oil change I've ever done on a Porsche, and I include the 356 in there ;-) Unclip the fans, Oh hey here's the oil filter, upright no less (no mess). Boom done !
That car has issues with some vacuum operated valves (bad batch), door panels warping, some TSB on squeaking gas tanks, but by and large those are peripheral crap. Mechanically I am yet to hear of any 991 issues. Drives like a cross between a Cayman S and a 997, with less tire noise. Better turn in than a 997, more shoulder room too, giant cubby behind the rear seats... Not to highjack the 997 thread but I'll say it one last time, as a wanna-be 997 buyer, given the price of 997.2 and the non-replaceable IMS on 997.1, I'd either buy a nice late 996 or an early 991 at this point...
