1993 Porsche 968 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"A well designed drivers car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In truth, to date, nothing although recently one of the pop up headlights requires a whack to make it go down.
General comments?
I'm biased, I paid less than £9k and for the money there's little to touch it. It is very powerful, not just by way of revs, but also torque, it pulls hard and long from low revs and keeps going through all six gears. Its ability to drag you out of a corner will put a smile on your face. The chassis is stiff which translates into a very positive driving experience, feedback from the road is second to none and the power steering is expertly weighted for 'driving' The interior is well put together, but not very exciting although the sports seats as fitted are very supportive (snug) Mine has a Hayward and Scott S/S Exhaust fitted which sounds fantastic when you're in the mood, otherwise it's damn loud.
