Porsche 968 Reviews - Page 2 of 3

Leaking valve cover gasket.

A real driver's car: great throttle response, direct steering, grippy seats, low slung driving position.

The 50/50 weight distribution gives fantastic balance through corners. Combined with the torquey engine, this makes for a very quick car across country.

Very rare on the road, really stands out.

Only downsides are a harsh ride and the cost of parts.

Alternator failed. Replaced it myself for £130.

Sunroof gears stripped. Replaced them myself for £4.

A few niggling trim problems, but nothing serious.

This car was voted best handling car in 1993 by Autocar magazine, and you can certainly see why. Although the outright performance is not that stunning (you have to keep the revs up to get the best out of it) the brakes and cornering are out of this world.

There is practically zero body roll, and the balance round tight roundabouts is superb.

It looks fantastic too. 10 years on it still looks modern, and being such a rare sight gets more attention than two-a-penny Boxsters or 911s.

If you're sensible, and steer well clear of rip-off main dealerships running costs are surprisingly reasonable. If you're at all DIY inclined the car is easy to work on. Although it's best to get it professionally serviced (service history is important when you come to sell) non-service items such as brakes and suspension are well within the abilities of a competent DIYer.

If you think you can't afford to run a Porsche, think again. Sell the Ford Mondeo, buy a 10 year old VW as a daily runner, and a 968CS for sunny weekends.

Nothing.

The Porsche 968 Sport is a fantastic car. Bigger, better, faster and more rare then a Boxster.

With a large boot (Big enough to fit two racing bicycle's) and two rear seats for two small cats it's an ideal coupe for a couple, who have no need to cart people around...

The handling and performance is superb, but the running costs a little high.

Rear window wiper not operational (when purchased)

Left head light goes up 7/8th of the way (when purchased)

It doesn't have the sound like a Ferrari has.

Everything else is vault solid.

This car is a 1993 968 coupe. It is a bright red with tan leather leather/carpets with black dash. A beautiful color combination (my favorite)

The car is rare as only 2417 coupes were imported to the US during its 4 year run.

The steering response and cornering ability is still one of the best around of all time. My previous 944 was just about as good.

The 3.0 liter 4 cylinder engine sounds just like a V8 on start up (very similar to my old 928S).

The body style really stands out and a lot of people tell me how nice the car looks. (in the neighborhood, at gas stations, in parking lots, and even on the road, ect.)

I would recommend anyone who is an enthusiast to buy one or a 944. They are terrific cars that bring a smile to your face when you drive or even wash them.

It is a true sports car so don't expect a supple ride, you will feel every crack on the pavement (but that's a good thing!)
