In my younger days, I had viewed the porsche from afar. My arms just weren?t long enough. Meeting my future wife was the first step as she wanted one, then suddenly it became feasible. Gradually we were able to afford one, though initially the sensible side (toy vs essentials) overcame and the purchase was delayed. After a long hunt, we found the one we wanted, a BLACK 944S2 COUPE, FROM 1991, a healthy 8 years old when it joined our family. We have been driving this beast for two years now. It is used as a posing car ( now let?s be honest here ) at the weekends, or if we are going somewhere nice. Bags of cement are relegated to the back of the mondeo, our other ...

I owned a Porche 944 85 over the period over 1994-96. Even though the car was bought second hand I never experienced any mechanical problems whatsoever. Even when the car was tested in terms of speed and control the car lived up to its expectations. Control with respect to road grip and suspension was exceptional and is the second best in my opinion only to the 928 model! Minor difficulties arose with the sun roof with a little bit of leakage and the clutch is very light and took some time to get used too! plus the back seats were far too small! This is my dream car and I hope to own one again soon! In fact I have promised my eldest ...
