For my 40th birthday, I had the pleasure of renting a 911 Carrera 4S for the day. I love Porsche.... I would say they build my favorite cars and I've always dreamed of owning one. I think the new 718's and 911's are the most beautiful cars on the road today...
I picked up the car on Saturday, 6/22 at 10am and then returned it on Sunday morning, at 10am.
It was everything I hoped it would be and more. It had the PDK transmission, Sport Chrono Package with Sport Plus mode, Sport Exhaust, and Dynamic Chassis Control. This car was a screamer and it was awesome. I can't get that sound out of my head! The ride was not harsh, but extremely balanced and controlled. Brakes were incredible.
I must say, I wasn't blown away with the acceleration. I mean, it was fast as hell with 400hp and AWD, but it didn't shock me like I thought it would. Even still, it sounded soooo good and drove so well; I didn't care that it wasn't Z06 fast.
I'm pleasantly surprised to say that it didn't completely embarrass my Si as far as driving dynamics... I mean, yes, it was a hell of a lot better.. but I thought my car would feel like a turd after driving that 911 around for a day... but it didn't. I had plenty of fun on the way home after dropping off the Porsche and picking up my Si. Props to Honda for building a very fun and inexpensive car with amazing value.
