Porsche 944

[ant_oneill]

Anyone driven one? What are they like to drive/own?

Reliability issues are really worrying me, but I'll have a few grand to spare if I trade in my 172 Cup against one, so that won't be too bad.

Opinions?

Fast - imho I didn't like it, my bro had one, took it out for a spin and the car always wanted to "go" you couldn't relax (but you might like a car like that...)
944s can't be driven slow hehe...

they're not unreliable cars, but if things do go wrong it really isn't cheap

make sure you get an S2, both versions of the 944 are looking dated now, but the S2 is considerably less so

Not driven a 944, but my dads 968 is a great car to drive, and they are very similar

I'd buy a TVR S3 or TVR Wedge, much more fun, and the older ones are less expensive to work on etc, and there British!! Not always a good thing I know! But the wedges are good fun with Rover V8'S under the bonnet I think.

The tubro ones are supposed to be alright. The non-turbo 944 only have about 160bhp and heavy as. 172 quicker than N/A 2.5 944. Turbo however about 250bhp i think would be a different story
