1986 Porsche 944 Reviews - Page 9 of 9

There's couple things, first two months I had no problem then I changed the front control arms and shocks, then for a long time nothing, and just recently timing belt snapped. I needed to rebuild the engine - very expensive, change the water pump and the alternator went, She ran for about a month, and now I'm in process of changing the flywheel and flex plate, and the steering rack is leaking now.

This puppy is a beautiful car, best handling I've ever experienced. But owning a Porsche, be prepared to get a second job. I paid $3000 for the car and stuffed about $8000 in repairs. But overall this is a very well built car. Horsepower not that great, but handling - aahhhhhh yeah

And girls love it, therefore I love it too.

I have had to replace the shocks and the struts, but they were bad when I bought the car.

I replaced the center console on the car.

The car is cheap on gas.

The seats are surprisingly comfortable.

The handling in the car is wonderful.

The acceleration is very good also.

Clutch.

Oil leak.

Power steering leak.

A/C, and a rear transaxle seal leak.

I bought this car as a toy to work on, but soon found out that anything that goes wrong is nothing I can fix.

I love the looks and the feel of the car, but I wish I could repaint it. Handling is awesome and power is okay. I know that it's not a beast on the road, but it will glide through the curves.

I love my car and even with $3,500 repair bills, it is still a pleasure to own.

Timing belt.

The rack and pinion start leaking during my first week of ownership! Very expensive.

The battery died.

This car is really fun to drive.

Surprisingly comfortable (on nice roads).

Even if it's 15 years old, people on the streets look at it just as they would do for a Ferrari! Nice looking!

The engine is a little short on power, not a car to race at the green light..

Amazing road handling.

Conclusion:

Those cars are real bargains if you treat them right. Otherwise you'll see that Porsche parts are expensive..

Alternator.

Clutch.

Water pump.

Radiator.

All in the first 8 months of ownership!

The car handles very well and has enough power to navigate freeway driving and hills.

Taller people may find this car uncomfortable.

Don't be fooled by the inexpensive price tag, this car, like any Porsche will cost you some bucks to keep her maintained. Your love for this car will keep you shelling out cash to keep it running. A very ideal weekend driver if you have to have one and you are on a budget.

Aside from the basic clutch, water pump, timing belt replacement, NOT A DAMNED THING!

If you're looking for a true "SLEEPER" car, this is it. I bought it for $5,500 and it was in mint condition. At its age it still generates positive comments and "Double-Takes" from the ladies. I was able to blow away my neighbors 2001 5 Series BMW on some winding roads so you figure it out. A few engine mods and you're set!
