1986 PORSCHE 911
This model year
What the record shows
The 1986 Porsche 911 is a minicompact car, and the 21st model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1966 to 2026.
The EPA rated two configurations: engines from 3.2-litre six-cylinder to 3.3-litre six-cylinder, rear-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 17 to 18 mpg depending on which one you have.
No complaints, recalls, investigations or service bulletins are on the federal record for this model year.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
