1985 Porsche 944 1985 1/2 review from North America
"A great sports car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Stabilizing belt went out and I just replaced all of the belts and the water pump at the same time.
General comments?
This car is a real dream to drive. I have not drove a car that handles as well as my 944.
I have actually had people think that it is a brand new car. Most are suprised when I tell them it is an 85.
I get many complements on the car.
