The 2008 Porsche 911 needs no explanation. It is the flagship of performance and heritage from Porsche. This base example comes with a rear mounted 3.6L 6 cylinder engine with 325 hp and 274 pound feet of torque. The 2008 Porsche 911 handles with brilliance. There simply isn’t a better handling car on Earth. The ride is always comfortable, and the wheels never seem to be anything except squarely and firmly planted on the pavement. There’s no practical way to come close to its grip limits on the street this car just begs to be driven on the track. This example came standard with a 6 speed manual transmission, others may have the 5 speed automatic tiptronic transmission. Of all the models the base offers the best MPG of the bunch at 18 city 26 highway. The storage compartment is in the front and holds a few gym bags, or a small carry on. The rear seats are large enough to accommodate a set of golf clubs or two should you move the passenger seat up.
