At what point in a car’s life should you stop judging it against new cars and instead start considering it a classic? That’s a contentious point but we reckon the early Nineties Porsche 911 now fits the ‘classic’ analysis. And better still, it’s well enough equipped and sufficiently user-friendly to drive every day. Think of that: classic Porsche shape, excellent performance, very good handling and still with the conveniences like climate control and cruise we now take for granted.
