1983 Porsche 944 review from North America
"Semi-fast, great handling, reliable car for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt broke.
Had to replace valves because of that.
Had wiring problem with the tail lights.
Clutch master cylinder went bad.
General comments?
The ride is harsh.
But, it handles like a dream!
Could use a little more power.
After replacing wearable items, the car has been very reliable.
