1984 Porsche 944 review from North America
"A love-hate-love relationship"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odometer gauge non functioning - was stuck at 110412 miles.
Air conditioning does not blow cool air at uncertain miles.
Suspension (bushings) damaged at uncertain miles.
Non metal parts (i.e., visor clips, sun roof latches).
General comments?
This car, despite damage to the suspension, handles better than my 2001 MBZ s430 on corners at high speed.
Although a smaller engine displacement than my ex 1985 BMW 325e, it runs faster (can still go 110 mph) without problem.
Racing type seats, surprisingly more comfortable for my body type (67" and 75kg) than my 2001 Camry XLE.
Despite all the small repairs it needs due to wear and tear, it is well worth it.
