If maintained and cared for, 944s are great cars. Problem is that most folks don't maintain them very well since they are cheap. Like any Porsche, there are design and mechanical quirks but overall they are pretty well built. The biggest let down is the durability of the interior.

They aren't fast by current standards, but 0-60 in 8 sec and 130mph top speed was very good 35 years ago. The early 80s were are bad period for cars; the 944 was special in it's time.

I enjoy mine still. Just need to finish my wheel bearings/brakes refresh so I can get it back on the road.
