By today's standards it's not really that fast, but the way it feels when doing it is like nothing made today. The best bit is that the harder you drive it - the better it gets. Mine's basic, with no extras - so no power steering or aircon or electric seats and windows. Not even a rear wiper, so basically there's nothing that can go wrong...
June 22, 2009what it lacked in 0-60 acceleration, porsche made up for it two fold in its superb handling. between being the easiest german car i've ever worked on, and very very stunning, aggressive styling, make this a car guys friend. drop the clutch and this 2.5 inline 4 will smoke the tires. i was also able to locate an after market stroker kit, which i believe would make it comparable to the 3 liter 4 cylinder that porsche put into the 1990 model.
August 17, 2008This car can be picked up for around 4-6 grand and is a blast. It handles great and even though it is old, it has a high quality engine in it and will last.

June 2, 2008Loved this car. It was in very good condition before the impact with a Golf standing still on the highway.
January 10, 2008Slow car but still fun to drive. Fantastic handling. God help you if you have to pay a shop for service. Do it yourself. Somehow this car has no rust and the paint still shines after 25 years. Not even a rusty bolt on the whole car.
July 31, 2009handled great, interior was luxurious, faster then most 4 and some 6 cylinders. wasn't the best looking car but also wasn't the ugliest either. i liked this car because it was comfortable to drive, both in seating and ride quality, and it saved gas compared with an 8 cylinder.
April 4, 2008great car, fun to drive around and jus cruise, takes turns amazing, quick acceleration and a decent top speed. iv taken it up to massachussetts on a few occasions and loved it. comfortable ride and great memories, specially with the sun top off. would not trade my baby for the world
October 10, 2008My car is a slightly modified version of the stock model, its got the turbo front bumper and a rear spoiler from the 968.. The build quility of the modifications could be better, but overall its ok.. The engine is still the stock 2,5 163 Bhp engine and it runs perfectly..
July 24, 2008not the fastest car in the world, but ill never find one that handles better
June 11, 2008The 944 is a well balanced anolog car that makes for an excellent entry into Porsche ownership.
