Fast car that does a little bit of everything well. Its fast in a line handles well and stops well. I think it looks great and with the right rims its an eye catcher. However its a Porsche so that means it needs regular maintenance. Its not the type of car you can let things go on

December 24, 2007The Porsche 944 Turbo is one of the best handling cars of the last 30 years. Named the Best Handling Road Car in America in 1986. In terms of performance, the 944 Turbo, also known as the 951, is bulletproof. Try 163 MPH in a 4-cylinder car, or punch it to 180+ with a few modifications. In terrms of reliability, you get what you pay for. If you buy a 951 for cheap which has been abused, you will get screwed in repair costs. The 951 is a fine example of 1980's auto design, with smooth but curvy lines, straight edges, and an agressive stance. Is the 951 fun to drive? Hell yes it is!
August 23, 2009great affordable sportscar. built in west germany, which stands for quality. not a single spot of rust even after 24 years. looks up to date too, and with 50/50 weight balance it is great fun to drive. and the best of all: its a porsche!
May 5, 2012One of the rare automatics imported in this year...Black with tan leather interior..seats have cloth inserts..added jvc kameleon cd player...adds a very nice touch to the already nice interior..Has removable sunroof with storage bag in rear with hold downs so it doesn't move around during hard driving...
May 8, 2010Crisp handling despite the 924S wheels that mine had, which led to quite a few interesting moments. I note with fondness watching a lamppost getting closer, but out of the side window as the car executed a mega slide. I miss those simple non TC days.
February 20, 2008It is just a lot of fun, and in Northern New York it stands out. This is my first Porsche. I have had MGB's Triumph, and a number of American car but I like this most of all so far. I am working my way up to a newer model. I have found decent mechanics who not too pricy which makes driving more pleasurable. I also belong to PCA (membership pending ). I am happy to belong to a group that I can share information with and ask questions of. Thank you.
