Can you afford a 2016-2019 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe?

The 2016-2019 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe (991.2) is a quintessential sports car, revered for its blend of performance and everyday usability. Journalists lauded its potent twin-turbo flat-six engine, precise handling, and all-wheel-drive grip, noting its refined yet thrilling driving dynamics. It's famous for its iconic design, unwavering reliability, and status as a benchmark in the sports car segment. While not infamous, some might find its price tag or relatively subtle styling (compared to more exotic rivals) points of contention. Today, it remains an excellent choice for driving enthusiasts seeking a capable track car, a spirited daily driver, or a sophisticated grand tourer.

Owning a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (991.2) typically involves higher operating expenses than average cars. Insurance costs are generally elevated due to the vehicle's high value and performance. While Porsches are known for strong reliability, routine maintenance and parts can be expensive. Specific concerns include potential issues with PDK transmission if not properly maintained, and accelerated tire wear due to performance driving. Major services, like spark plug replacement or brake jobs, will incur significant costs.
