1985 Porsche 944 review from North America

Previous owner didn't really take care of this car, the interior is a mess, a cinder block fell onto the car but luckily it hit the windshield and that absorbed the impact and the top end of the hood took very minor damage as a result. Rest of the body was surprising in very good condition for a car of this age, I don't think I found any rust actually. Engine in good condition.

Dash is cracked.

Sunroof motor malfunctioning.

Haven't discovered what's wrong but power transfer at first gear is very poor and limiting how much I can enjoy this car.

Hood and trunk lift don't do any lifting.

Needs a battery box. Didn't have one when I got it.

Hand break is in a rather annoying spot.

I haven't really done much on this car yet, I'm only 23 so I don't have that much income for costly repairs which I expect this car will need. However, all should be taken care of by end of the summer. :)

Lots of room for driver and passenger, back seats aren't for anyone over 4 feet tall. Was much more comfortable to drive than the Miata since I'm a pretty big guy.

Definitely a head turner, people won't tell you that your car is heterosexually challenged like my '89 Miata. Everything on this car looks good, I planned on getting new rims but the stock one still look amazing and is making the decision harder.

Handles very well for such a heavy car. Very stable at all speeds.

Car can be expensive to maintain if you just bring it to a dealer, a lot of minor problems are DIY and will save you a bundle, this car is definitely worth it however.
