I love the 996 turbo because i cant afford a 997 turbo. Since i can afford a 997 carrera S, i would like to know whether 996 turbo is a better buy or 997 carrera S or 997 carrera 4s is a better buy? Is 997 alot better than the 996?
throw some opinions

Consumer Reports just gave the new 2007 997 carrera a "F" for reliability. However, JD Powers rated Porsche as number 1 for reliabilty followed by Lexus, Hyundai and Toyota. Is Consumer's Report full of crap?

How is it possible that a 2006 Porsche 997 Turbo is faster as an automatic-tiptronic transmission than as a manual 5 speed transmission?
this is what I read:
"According to official Porsche figures, it produces 480 hp, accelerates 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds with manual transmission and 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds with Tiptronic S transmission, and has a top speed of 193 miles per hour."
the manual tranny gets you 3.7 and the tiptronic which is an automatic gets you 3.4
everything i've read about automatics is that they are slightly slower than manual trannies. and tiptronic is an automatic..just with a different name. i've driven German tiptronics in BMW's and Porsches before..i just didn't know they were faster than manual trannies.
you know that all high end cars these days also use automatics like Maybachs, the new Audi S8 and RS6 turbo,..seems like automatics are faster than stick shift cars..but people say stick shift cars are more fun to drive around in.

I am particular interested in the reliability for porsche turbos. can anyone explain to me whether a porsche is a buy? i love ferraris, but people have told me to buy porsche instead for their reliability and cheaper maintaince compares to a ferrari? is it true? 996 models or 997? Would you buy a 996 turbo or a 997 carrera?
...
If compare to 997 turbo

They're all converging in the same price range right now, which makes for interesting comparisons. I have my own opinion on the subject, and my mechanic has given me his answer; but just for fun, how about you other P-car fans? The ultimate air-cooled monster Porsche (that refuses to depreciate)? The faster-than-you-need but still civilized 996TT, with its threat of high maintenance costs? The rough but rewarding, track-focused GT3? Or the thoroughly modern, depreciation-prone but still under warranty base 997 Carrera? Throw purchase price out the window... which would you want to own and why?

Sometimes my Montero is fine. But after a while it stalls when I come to a stop as if the idle is not set right.
