The 2015-2016 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe (991.1) is a celebrated iteration of the iconic sports car, lauded for its blend of performance and everyday usability. Journalists praised its naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine, responsive handling, and all-wheel-drive grip, often noting it as the sweet spot in the 991.1 lineup. Famous for being one of the last naturally aspirated Carrera models, it’s cherished by enthusiasts for its pure driving experience and distinctive engine note. Today, it remains a highly desirable driver's car, well-suited for spirited road driving, occasional track days, and even daily commuting for those who appreciate a visceral connection to the road.

Owning a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) incurs higher-than-average operating expenses. Maintenance costs are elevated due to specialized parts and labor, with routine service being more expensive than for mass-market vehicles. While generally reliable, potential issues can include PDK transmission fluid changes and ignition coil replacements, which add to the maintenance burden. Insurance costs are typically high due to the vehicle's performance nature and value. Tire replacement, particularly for performance-oriented tires, also contributes significantly to running costs. Fuel efficiency is moderate given its performance capabilities.
