2008-2012 Porsche 911 Convertible
Mid-size Convertible
The Porsche 911 is a true drive's car that has been delivering thrills for over half a century. Unlike a retro styled car, the 911 looks like its predecessors because it has been part of a constant evolution and improvement of the sports car. The four-seat 911 (the rear two are quite small) came in many different chassis setups that ranged from everyday useful to street-legal racecars. All wheel drive was optional on some models, and Consumer Reports recommended this model 911.
