Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet: which year should you buy?

We scored the 2012 to 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet year by year. None has a matured-enough record to earn an outright “Buy” yet, so treat this as a map of relative risk and lean on a professional inspection.

Every model year, scored

Same math for every year (how we score). A neutral Unproven or Too New stamp means too few owner reports are on file to affirm the year, not that it’s clean.

The fine print: each year’s verdict is computed from public NHTSA complaint and recall records for the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet as a model, not for any individual car. A well-kept example of a weaker year can outlast a neglected strong one. Informational only, so always get a professional pre-purchase inspection.
