We say Go for the 3.6 and the 911 Cabriolet will make you happyPerformance The 911 Cabriolet’s 3.6-litre petrols have serious acceleration and power, with torque where it's needed. 3.8-litre Carrera S has even more power, but may not be worth the extra cost over the excellent 3.6 petrols. A double-clutch PDK automatic gearbox is available.Emissions Almost 30mpg is possible with the straight 3.6. CO2 emissions of 230g/km are respectable considering the 911’s Cabriolet’s place on the market.Driving The 911 Cab offers as good a drive as the Coupe, but despite very good body control the suspension isn't quite as good and there’s a modicum of body flex noticeable during high-speed driving or over unsettled surfaces.Feel The 911’s soft top lets the noise in at high speeds, but it's not intolerable. With the roof down it can get quite buffet if you’re driving hard. Which you should be.Space Good space for two, but rear seats are next to useless – as is the 911 Cab’s boot at 105 litres.Equipment Climate control, alloys, leather on all models.Price Massive running costs; £70K minimum for a new 911 Cabriolet; rock-solid residuals.Quality Solidly built, good inside, should be reliable. The electronic fabric roof is well built and shouldn’t pose any problems.Safety Loads of active and passive safety kit. Six airbags as standard.Pros Great drive, even with entry-level engines, Open-top motoring at its best.Cons Not as good a drive as the coupeAlternatives Jaguar XK Convertible, Audi R8 Spyder
