The Carrera is undeniably dynamic on the road thanks to one of the sharpest steering systems on the market. It's incredibly responsive and confidence-inspiring, allowing clean and convincing maneuvers through twists and turns. Obviously, handling is exceptional; drivers enjoy perfect control in corners.
Contrary to what Porsche outsiders will have you believe, the 911 is pretty comfortable on the highway. The suspension is very well calibrated, delivering a smooth, surefooted ride without ever compromising driving dynamics. In addition, the generously-sized brakes are always up to the task. These high-performance units prove very enduring.

Amen.
