Used Porsche Cars for Sale near Saanichton, BC

Great handling and braking. Acceleration was so-so. Great styling. Great fun to drive. I was thinking of possibly getting a sports car in 1977 and drove this to compare with the Datsun Z. Compared to the 924, the Z drove like a Buick!

Well - if you know where the 924 came from, you'll understand the summary. It was designed for VW (sister company of Audi & Porsche) and they turned it down. So Porsche kept it, along with the VW-quality interior, etc. Engine wasn't really big enough, but as long as you didn't TRY to race someone, no one would believe you that it was really an under-powered, good looking machine. I can't remember how many times guys would ask me "So is it pretty fast?" and I'd just look at them, shake my head and say (honestly) "No, not really." They'd always laught and say "Right!" LOL Mine was a bright, beautiful yellow. Sold that one to buy my condo. *sigh*

Not much to dislike, except maybe the Navigation input, somewhat tricky at first but once you do it, it's a cake walk. The exceptional pro to this vehicle is the Manual to Auto mode with the 5 spd Tiptronic transmission - fun down shifting to hear the revs and even funner up shifting to hear the wind racing by you.
