1984 Porsche 944 review from South Africa
"Best handling car of the 1980's"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine mounts needed replacing. Water pump had to be replaced. Rear brake pads had to be replaced.
General comments?
Stable at high speed, a definite head turner. Can cruise at 140km/h all day long. The faster you go around a corner the more the car grips.
