Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.

1. 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet

Editors' rating: 8.6

The good: The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet drives like a dream, handles corners with near perfection, and offers efficient power from its flat six-cylinder engine. The upgraded Bose audio system produces excellent sound.

The bad: Cabin electronics are generally subpar, with a mediocre navigation system and few available audio sources for the stereo. It doesn't come with Bluetooth; instead it requires you to insert a SIM card into the car.

The bottom line: With its fantastic performance, the 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet works best as a track car or a weekend cruiser on mountain roads with the top down. Its mediocre cabin electronics reduce its comfort and convenience for everyday driving.
