Consumer Reports says Porsche 911 Performs Best

Consumer Reports has tested the vehicles that it has purchased. What they have found was that the Porsche 911 took earned the right to be called one of the best vehicles there is in the market. In fact, it topped the list of vehicles Consumer Reports’ list of high performance sports vehicles and cars.

David Champion is the senior director of the Auto Test Center of Consumer Reports. He summed up the Porsche 911 by saying, “The 911 wowed us enough with its acceleration, handling, and braking for us to rate it our top sports car. The 911 is also easy to drive, but its much less expensive Boxster sibling performed almost as well.”

The automotive magazine tested the Porsche 911 in all its Porsche car parts glory against other high class and high performance vehicles like the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the Dodge Viper. Aside from these two, the Porsche 911 competed eleven other performance vehicles that are currently available in the market. The vehicles went through a series of tests so as to see who performed best and who topped all others as a luxury sports car.

You certainly would not believe the suggested retail prices of these vehicles. The least expensive is the Lotus Elise that can be purchased for $46,000 while the most expensive tested car was a Mercedes Benz SL550 that could cost you $105,000.

All these vehicles go through tests that give Consumer Reports data on who should be declared the best among the pack. The vehicles were driven on public roads. They also were driven through the Consumer Report test track located in Connecticut. Performance was also based on high speed maneuvering as well as braking and cornering at high speeds.

In Birmingham Barber Motorsports Park is the exclusive site of the Porsche Driving Experience. This is a high performance driver education program, designed to enhance the driving skills of automotive enthusiasts by focusing on control, safety, situational awareness, and smoothness. If your looking at the Porsche 911 or for that matter any high performance vehicle you should contact the Porsche Driving Experience at 888-204-7474.
