1984 Porsche 944 consumer reviews

Very stout, reliable, fast. Beautiful. Sexy. Practical. Surprisingly roomy storage space. Economical.

Porasche 944's are rare and are great sports cars to own and drive. They drive like a dream, especially with the sun roof open in the winding roads of the coountry.

From the striking looks to the silky smooth inline 4 the 944 is one of the best cars in the world. it also happens to be an incredible bargain at the same time. Of course with any Porsche the maintenance is going to be expensive, however everything except the timing belt can be done at home in a matter of minutes. the owner's manual explains how to do things from oil changes to the brakes. And oh yeah, did i mention how it drives? The steering is sharp and gives tonnes of feedback. They don't call the 944 the best handling car in the world for nothing. The suspension soaks up every turn while the steering tells you to go faster. Its great! This is not however a dragster. it does the run in 8.3 witch is the same as an old Toyota Avalon. the sunroof is a great feature because you can remove the large panel over your head and have a nice open air car but with the rigidity and safety of a coupe. All over the web there are buyers guides but my advice is get and inspection done at a good Porsche mechanic before you buy it. If you pick a good one you will soon see why Porsche's motto in the eighties was "nothing even comes close" Happy motoring!
