1984 Porsche 944 Lux review from UK and Ireland
"Solid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical system for windows on passenger side; electric window lift on driver's side leaking power steering pipe; battery; side plate rubbing on brake disc rear n/s;
General comments?
1. Galvanised body doesn't rust - useful in wet UK climate with salt on roads in winter
2. Engine is rugged and underpowered/tuned so not stressed and 30-40mpg
3. Noisy - transmission is under your seat; seems to be a lot of wind and tyre noise
4. 'Clunky' switches; switchgear all over the place - illogical
5. Don't trust it driving fast round corners -no 'feel' for the limit -may just be me.
