1990 Porsche 944 S2 review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic. Wish I could afford a newer Porsche"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little hassle with this car.
The electric tailgate release mechanism was a little temperamental. It used to seize up in winter.
The drainage holes in the rear spoiler got blocked. The water built up then leaked into the car. This was cured by periodic clearing of debris from the spoiler!
I think I had the brake pads changed and the window wiper blades renewed.
General comments?
This car is fast. The torque, acceleration and handling are better than in any car I have owned previously or since.
The interior is rather spartan and gloomy compared to more modern vehicles. This you can live with.
The galvanized bodywork is a god-send in Britain, where the gritting of roads with salt plays havoc with cars of inferior construction.
