1986 Porsche 944 review from North America
"The number 1 example of pure driving pleasure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The A/C alternator switch that tells the fan when to come on broke at 126,000 miles.
Need to replace right windshield bracket.
General comments?
I drive up a part of highway 9 every day to get to my house, and every time, the car amazes me with its incredable handling ability. I wasted a 2001 Audi A4 in the curves the other day.
Very comfortable interior; almost no cabin noise.
For a 4 cylinder, 131 mph just always seems to impress.
Every one at my school refers to me as "the kid with the Porsche". I never get tired of giving rides :)
