1984 Porsche 924 Targa review from Finland
"I paid for an Audi, but got a Porsche!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof (Targa-roof) and rear hatch leaked water, but cleaning seals helped.
Some electrical problems with extra front-lights and sunroof's motor.
Doors jam easily during winter (due to freezing).
General comments?
Excellent to drive. Even if it lacks power (for a Porsche), it corners like a Porsche.
Low maintenance and reliable car.
Low spare-part's costs, even when compared to "normal" familycars, not to mention other Porsche's.
Cabin fits easily 2m tall persons (on front). Rear seats only for children at best.
Targa (sunroof) is a must at summer. You can even drive 120km/h (max.limit in Finland) without roof, with no wind in the cabin!
