Porsche 944
Description: 2+2 seat 3 door sports Newest Review: ... between 20 -25000 at the time. Cheap to run and find parts for through independant Porsche specialists and suppliers (250 ... more  ... approx for a 12000 mile service). I purchased mine at 170,000 miles and put it on a limited mileage classic insurance policy. What a waste of time, I couldn't get out of the thing (even though I was running 2 other cars at the time) and clocked up my alotted 6000m in 5 months. I now insure through Direct Line who are extremely competitive. If 0-60 times are what stir you then look for a Turbo. The only downside, if there is one, is that it's a bit small, but then if you want a big car, buy an estate. ...moreMore Porsche card

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 ...

Please, can I have it back... I wish I'd never sold it. Since selling my 944 I've owned a 1996 Golf VR6 (lovely but a little dull) and a 1999 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo (don't star me - seem my opinion). Neither can compare with the poise, looks, quality or handling of the Porsche. The 944 (especially the S2) is a stunningly attractive car. It remains reasonably practical for a Porsche with a large boot and 2 'seats' in the back. There is also a large removeable sunroof for those lovely long drives in the country. Surprisingly, they're not that expensive to run. I paid £14k for mine (privately) and sold it a year and 15k miles later ...

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 ...
