"The best car for £3K you can buy"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power Steering Pump went after a week, had it replaced under warranty.

Driver Electric mirror broken by some lout kicking it

Creak from Suspension, just needed greasing

Power Steering Belt was loose

Slight wear in drivers seat.

Electric Ariel stopped working.

General comments?

Not as quick a some hot hatches of today, but hey its not a shopping cart in drag like hot hatches

Handling out of this world

1st gear a little short

Vibration at idle a little annoying

924 style dash looked down upon by newer 944 owners, but I think its more sportier than the oval dash model anyway

Never skimp on a 944 its not worth it, always fit the best if possible.

Your vibration at idle is most likely due to a worn engine mount, a relatively inexpensive repair ($100-200).
