There aren't many products that have been on sale since the 1960s that are still popular now. The story of Porsche's 911 really is one of remarkable success and longevity, though, and its secret seems to have been staying true to itself. Launched in 1963, with a shape and design that's still clearly recognisable as the ancestor of today's car, the 911 has been the ultimate two-door sports coupe ever since.
While the beautiful Coke-bottle design has grown its proportions over the years - to fit ever-larger humans - its essential beauty has remained, as has its seemingly illogical design; with the engine hanging out between the rear wheels. A combination of modern technology and stubborn determination has allowed the 911 to side-step this illogic and still be a brilliant, inspiring thing to drive, with possibly the best steering ever fitted to a car. Purists will argue that true greatness left the line when it finally succumbed to turbocharging its engine, but pretty much any 911 you can afford will make you very, very happy indeed.
The Carrera starts off at $277,800, while the range-topping, S/T is priced at $660,500.

You're in pretty safe territory with the Porsche, they're soundly engineered and well built. They give little trouble if they're properly serviced, although the cost of servicing can be high. It's a good idea to cosy up to a Porsche specialist for repairs and servicing to save a few bucks. Go for a car that might be a little older but in good condition rather than a later one that has been round the block a few times.
