1992 Porsche 968 Coupe review from North America

Throttle body leaked onto Alternator which caused battery to go bad at 102,000 miles.

Small power steering fluid leak at 108,000 miles -- appears to be just a simple hose problem.

The vacuum hose next to the battery cam loose and caused all kinds of problems (especially with the air conditioner). Ironically, it took about 4 hours to diagnose, but only 15 seconds to fix.

Only fault, easy to start in Reverse instead of 1st gear (from neutral). Practice overcomes this. Or, putting it into 2nd then 1st.

The Porsche 968 is a powerful normally aspirated 3.0L 4 cylinder car. Especially impressive is the low end torque which peaks at 4,000 RPM.

Easy short throw shifting allows you to accelerate to 85 mph in 3rd gear. With 6 speeds, you can easily exceed 110 mph. Gear box is a close ratio and allows you to effortlessly shift for extra power or better fuel economy.

Typically average 17-21MPG with 90-92 Octane combination of local and highway and air conditioning.

Best air conditioning of any Porsche.

It handles great on the road even with worn tires and on wet roads. The front engine and rear trans-axle provide grip beyond any other car I've driven.

The brakes are typical Porsche, they stop fast run cool and have little fade.

The car is rare and gets a lot of looks and compliments.
