1984 Porsche 944 review from North America
"Exciting"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replace timing belt and all rollers.
Replace water pump.
General comments?
The 944 is sometimes referred to as "the poor mans Porsche", but for me, it is a wonderful and exciting car to own and operate.
The only problem I have with this car is, I cannot keep it under the speed limit.
It just wants to GO!!!
The handling is super, on highways or on country roads.
