Default First Post! New to me 2009 911!

Found this gem through Autotrader. 2nd owner only put roughly 7k miles in the 6 years he's had it. Very nice guy and it was a pleasure dealing with him.

So I just had the car serviced for the open recall regarding the high pressure fuel pumps and here are my thoughts thus far...

1st and 2nd gears are pretty notchy when the engine is cold but it goes away after a while.

The car pulls really hard after 4k rpm and it is amazing. The throttle response is night and day compared to my old Audi S4. Absolutely no lag whatsoever!

Still not use to the key ignition being on the left.

Really wish the car had bluetooth Audio streaming. Anyone have any suggestions for a good aftermarket one or do you guys just use the AUX cable with a phone holder?

Every once in a while I'll check my garage just to look at the car and check if its still there...

Congrats on your new purchase. Just bought a 2011 C2S which I pick up next Tuesday. Will post some pics then. Enjoy your beautiful 911!

Try not to compare it to an Audi sedan again and you'll be safe here. lol

Welcome!

Very nice. My 2009 c2s is so much faster than my F150, handles better also
Man, any thing above 3K rpm in second or third gear is just great.
I do find myself occasionally walking into the garage before I drive to work and saying "Hello, my pretty, ready for a drive." Argh! Enjoy!

I use lightening adapter to the aux-in and I'm pretty happy with that, still haven't picked a good phone holder for the iphone 6S but will get one eventually.

Cheers!

Congrats! From which Rusnak did you get it? I got mine in Thousand Oaks.

I bought the car private party but I work at Rusnak which explains the plates. I work at their Audi branch in Pasadena so I had it serviced right next door.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!
