 ... 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. ...more

Premium Review Porsche 944: porsche 944s2 (1173 words)
by - written on 18/06/02 (Very useful, 5900 readings)

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 ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review 1990 Porsche 944 S2 (238 words)

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 ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Porsche 944: An Excellent Drive (141 words)

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 ...  Read the complete review

One of the BEST cars I've owned. I've had Rover 220 Coupe Turbo, TVR Chimaera, Audi A4 V6, Mazda MR2, none of them can match the overall feeling of the 944 S2. Mine was a 92 J reg, one of the last one's to be built (with the revised 968 style rear spoiler). It is starting to get left behind by todays standards, Fiat 20V Turbo, Scubby Turbo, Mits Evo, M3 & M5, Audi TT - are all quicker than the old '44. But none of them (except the TT) provides you with the same pleasure. I owned mine for alomst 2 years (almost 20k) and it still felt loverly after this time. The handling is first rate, it needs some more grip (when being pushed hard) but it never ...  Read the complete review

1986 944 2.5litres 190,000miles Despite what the Porsche purists believe, it is a real Porsche. Rock solid mechanics, great looks and a real head turner even at 17years old. It can't keep up with todays modern machines in the 0-60 arena but it'll top out at 130+mph and still feel rock solid. What really makes it a fantastic drive though is the presence and feel that the car has on the road, it corners beautifully, the suspension being firm but not so stiff as to make it uncomfortable. Undoubtably one of the best handling cars of the 80's. For a budget of 4-6000 you can pick up a mid to late 80's, oval dash 2.5l that would have cost between 20 -25000 ...  Read the complete review
