Doug DeMuro gives the 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo a solidly positive 68/100 rating, praising its exceptional reliability and performance—the manual transmission is so refined he enjoys it even in traffic, and the 3.9-4.1 second 0-60 time with over 400 hp and AWD delivers genuinely modern car performance. The livability scores nearly as high at 85/100, with DeMuro noting he's used the car nonstop in traffic over 2,000 miles despite its compact interior, and the thoughtful inclusion of factory child seat tether points adds practical family usability. The significant caveat is value, which scores a flat 0/100—at $250,000, DeMuro argues you could buy a Lamborghini Murciélago or Mercedes SLR for less money with more thrills, and the cabin tech feels dated with oddly-positioned window switches and confusing controls. This car is for collectors and analog-driving purists who prize the last air-cooled 911's classic character and genuine performance over contemporary amenities and bang-for-buck pricing.
