The 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (991.2) with the 7-speed manual is one of the best all-around sports cars on the used market. Its 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six produces 420 hp, delivering effortless, usable power from low RPMs and strong torque for both street and track driving.

The manual gearbox, paired with Porsche’s Sport Chrono package and rev-matching, makes it engaging without sacrificing comfort. With sport PASM, rear-axle steering, and precise handling, it feels planted, almost mid-engine, while still practical thanks to front and rear cargo space and usable rear seats.

This 4S combines turbo efficiency with traditional 911 dynamics, offering excellent fuel economy, a balanced torque curve, and customizable performance with aftermarket tuning. Its build quality, driver-focused interior, and 18-way adjustable seats make long drives comfortable. Options like sport exhaust, LED lights, and tasteful styling elevate the driving experience without excessive cost.

For enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, everyday-capable Porsche, the 991.2 Carrera 4S provides nearly GT-level performance at a fraction of the price, making it a rare, practical, and engaging all-rounder in today’s market.
