1986 Porsche 944 review from North America
"Expensive... but worth it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch.
Oil leak.
Power steering leak.
A/C, and a rear transaxle seal leak.
General comments?
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.
