There are certain features that are synonymous with particular cars, such a BMW’s twin-kidney grille or the Ford Mustang’s tri-bar taillights. For most of the Porsche 911‘s life, round headlights have been one of its visual signatures. Our Pick of the Day comes from a very different point on the German sports car’s timeline. You can find this six-speed 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in San Diego. It comes with two keys, owner’s manual, spare tire, and more.

In 1999, the 996 generation of the 911 brought significant changes. Up front, its round headlights were replaced by units that many thought were shaped like fried eggs. The body’s wheelbase, length, and width grew, yet the 996 weighed less than its 993 predecessor.

At the rear, the engine remained a flat-six, but it received four-valve heads and water cooling to meet more stringent emissions requirements. On top of that, the 996 era spawned the first-ever GT3, an homologation model that offered higher performance than the basic 911 without the use of turbos and all-wheel drive.

This particular 911 Carrera Cabriolet is from the 2002 model year, when Porsche revised the front end by installing the 911 Turbo’s headlights and a larger, more powerful 3.6-liter engine with 320 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, among other updates. “Turbo Twist” wheels always look great on a 996, but the 18-inch Porsche Sport Classic IIs are an attractive change of pace.

And check out the color combo. Sleek and understated, Seal Grey Metallic pairs so well with the black soft top and the tan leather interior. Given that 996s are fairly modern sports cars, their cockpits typically have metallic or carbon fiber trim, yet this one has bright trim as well as glossy wood accents on the steering wheel, center stack, shifter, and e-brake handle. Another thing you don’t usually see on 996s? The kind of mileage that’s on this car: I’ve come across many 996s with 20-40,000 miles on them, which is great for a car that’s 20-plus years old, but whoever used to own this ’02 really babied it because it’s covered only 5,396 miles over nearly a quarter-century.

Driving may not be a feature of a car, but it should be synonymous with one, especially a Porsche 911. This low-mileage 2002 Porsche 911 Cabriolet needs to be driven. Buy it for $58,000 and start enjoying it.
