1986 Porsche 944 review from North America
"Superior handling, great looking, reliable Quasi-Exotic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Aside from the basic clutch, water pump, timing belt replacement, NOT A DAMNED THING!
General comments?
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!
