Firstly, the 911 if probably the best Porsche car that they make. There are many variations on the 911, but all are using the foundation of a similar motor.
The Porsche 911's Flat-6 boxer configuration makes Porsche a GREAT car. Because the motor is a flat cylinder layout (rather then V configuration) the motor has a lower center of gravity and allows the 911 car to handle quite well. The motors have many years of development starting in the late 1960s straight through to today in 2008. There have been consistent improvements on this motor over the years to the point where it is really really strong.
Porsche has also been actively involved in motorsports racing for many years. This allows Porsche to consistently test, monitor, measure and build great race cars and bring the very best findings in configuration and production materials back to it's road-going consumer models.
Porsche has also consistently improved on it's chassis through each series of 911 development and so balance, strength and technology are constantly updated to be the most competitive and strong builds on the market.
Customer satisfaction with the Porsche 911 has always run very high, so the perception that Porsche is one of the best automobile brands is true.

Handling is generally regarded as the number one trait that makes Porsches great -- that's the ability to handle the curves with a minimum of body lean, good feedback to the driver, and plenty of traction at the asphalt.
Great power didn't used to be considered a Porsche trait, but some of the newer cars get as much Horse Power (HP) and torque or "twisting force" from their engines as much larger power plants in cars like Ferraris, Corvettes, and even the Viper.
The one piece of performance that almost everyone acknowledges is Porsche's nearly exclusive domain is brakes. If you go fast, you need to stop fast. Porsches are road course cars, not straight line "dragsters." Braking really matters when you have to turn, and Porsches definately excell here. Only Porsche and Lamborghini make the latest in braking technology -- ceramic composite brakes.
Porsche 911s are rear engine cars: the center of gravity of the engine/transaxle is BEHIND the rear wheels. This is inherently a difficult arrangement to make competitive, but Porsche has been so successful that a major car magazines proclaimed about the 911 that "Engineering beats Physics."
