Fuel Economy

Summary
What Edmunds.com says
The 2000 Porsche 911 is a great sports car that deserves more of a stylistic difference from its less costly sibling, the Boxster.
Pros
Finely honed sports car abilities, available in all-wheel-drive and convertible forms, legendary prestige.
Cons
Looks too much like a Porsche Boxster, not as visceral as the previous model.
What's New for 2000
For the 2000 Porsche 911, a new exhaust system bumps horsepower from 296 to 300. Already featured on Carrera 4 models, two-wheel-drive Carreras now get an electronic drive-by-wire throttle and optional PSM stability control. All models receive an upgraded interior console and materials. The formerly optional charcoal odor filter is now standard. There are two new standard and one new optional exterior colors.

Review
I picked this car up used, one owner, 48,000 Miles and it's been a dream. No oil leaks to speak of, mechanically sound. This is a great daily or just weekend driver. I change my own oil for under $50 and that is with a K&N Filter and Mobil 1.
Favorite Features
Performance, performance, performance and the rag top.
Suggested Improvements
Wish it had a cup holder stock, but I found a retrofit kit online for $80, which is a little pricey, but she's a keeper so it's the worth the spend.

If you have never owned a Porsche. You should at least once in your life. It is not just a car it is pure man and machine made whole in one. It is perfection. Want to go fast in a straight line buy a Vette; want an experience buy the Porsche.

Review
I went from a boxster to my conv. carrera. What a huge difference in power, speed and handling. I love getting the looks from other drivers when I pass them and that engine roar makes people turn and admire this powerful looking car. Like some of you out there, I take it out for a spin and return back home with a smile.
Favorite Features

Place the cup holders else where, improve the sound system.

Review
I've owned this car since new and used it as a weekend toy, and what a toy it is. On the 1 or 2 occasions where I thought about selling it, I've only had to go and drive it for a few miles and I've come back with a smile on my face. It's hard to believe that it could be improved on. The only problems I've had have been with the top was not working correctly when I first got the car. The performance, handling styling and overall experience of ownership have been above my expectations. I would absolutely buy another Carrera.
Favorite Features
The performance, handling, and how the interior fits like a glove.
Suggested Improvements
Get rid of the Pirelli P-zeros and replace with something with a little longer life.

Review
This is definitely a great purchase. This car is fun to drive and I can't find enough reasons to drive it. Its horsepower and torque have a nice balance. The only complaint is the suspension. It is too soft for such a performance vehicle. A stiffer suspension would give this car more predictability. However the PSM certainly compensates for it.
Favorite Features
Power, PSM, exhaust sytem and sport seats.
Suggested Improvements
Stiffer suspension and ceramic brakes.
