1986 Porsche 944 review from North America
"A fast good looking car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The hood struts needed to be replaced along with the struts on the hatch.
The interior light assembly came apart.
The transmission started to slip in second gear,I am in the process of replacing the transmission.
General comments?
As parts are expensive and some are hard to find, I still enjoy my 944.It is fast and holds the curves as I live in the country and drive to the city for work.
