Targa 4S Coupe (2014-2016)

Can you afford a 2014-2016 Porsche 911 Targa 4S Coupe?

The 2014-2016 Porsche 911 Targa 4S (991.1 generation) marked a return to the classic Targa roof design, featuring an electrically operated, fully automatic retractable roof section and a fixed roll bar. It was widely praised for its blend of open-air driving pleasure with the 911's renowned performance and handling. While some found the added weight a slight compromise to pure sportiness, its unique styling and all-weather capability, thanks to all-wheel drive, made it highly desirable. It's well-suited for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive, engaging, and practical sports car for spirited weekend drives or comfortable daily use.

Owning a 2014-2016 Porsche 911 Targa 4S (991.1) generally involves higher operating expenses than a typical car. Maintenance costs are elevated due to specialized parts and labor; for example, routine service and tire replacements will be more expensive. Reliability is generally good, but potential issues like PDK transmission fluid changes or IMS bearing concerns (though less prevalent in 991.1) can be costly if they arise. Insurance premiums are typically higher due to the vehicle's value, performance, and repair costs. Fuel efficiency is moderate for a sports car, adding to running costs.
