1984 Porsche 944 review from North America
"Do not buy this car, so another will be around for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch master and exhaust.
Interior overhead light and windshield visor clips...exploded, melted in the heat. My fault for not leaving the window cracked in the sumer. I don't think it gets as hot in Germany as it does here.
General comments?
Car handles like a cat in turns and at speed even in the rain.
It's a highway tourer and "twisty's" car.
It's not happy in the city and in stop and go.
Watch the coolant temp in the summer.
30mpg average.
I loved my Datsun 280Z too, it handled about as well.
