How it scores for you10 scores
The everyday-supercar formula at its most convincing — huge speed, real usability, and proven durability, with running costs the only unglamorous number.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 10 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +6 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,200 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 23% of cars we track.
5.1 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 20% of other coupes we track.
The 2+2 rear seats fit children or briefcases; front occupants fare well.
From Carrera to Turbo S and GT3, the 991 delivers benchmark steering, traction, and pace with everyday usability.
Later 991.2 PCM added CarPlay; cabin tech is functional rather than showy and driver aids are minimal.
Genuine GT comfort — supple adaptive dampers, excellent seats, and a quiet cabin for a sports car.
Luxury brands like Porsche tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
