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.
Have a 968 CS and this review is spot on.
Have owned a dozen 911s (still have a 996 Turbo X50) but the little 968 blows them all away on handling.
A true babe, and worth double what they currently sell for... see what has just won the UK POCGB Apax series yes a 968 CS.
Lovely cars. I see them almost like a poor mans GT3 RS. One day I will have one of these!
