  • Porsche Communication Management now standard on 911

  • Cup holders are terrible

  • Best looking 911 to date
  • Panamera-like cabin
  • Wicked induction howl
  • Near savage performance
  • 7 gears to euphoria
  • Lots of little buttons and quirks
  • Not the quietest, smoothest or most refined sports car
  • Awkward rearward visibility
  • $124,385 as tested
