The best thing about the 997 is the communicative steering imo.Having had the /1 and having had my fingers burnt badly due to bore scoring I wouldn't touch another,that's not to say it happens to everybody,just that I've been unlucky on both occasions with Porsche.I'm sure there are many happy owners out there though.

Like Robin has mentioned a light front end takes a little bit of acquaintance.
I didn't think the low down torque was that amazing and you do have to make full use of the revs to enjoy it.Personally I think Porsches' are an acquired taste,you either get on with them or you don't.

What doesn't help is the antique tech,reliability,servicing and general expense that contributes to it's downside,I'm far happier with the idea of having an up to date,more practical performance coupe like the M2 with a new warranty these days that constitutes some sort of sensible pricing structure.
