[Sunroof]

As a long time owner of a 944 (1985.5) and driving it until it reached 365,000 miles I can attest to its weaknesses and strengths. Yes, I replaced the radiator, cooling fans, infamous engine mounts, tons of seals and gaskets, suspension, sun roof components and even the AC/Heat dash control unit, etc., but I never had to touch the engine or tranny save for a head gasket replacement and fluid changes. That four cylinder engine with its counter rotating balance system to smooth out vibration (thanks Lancaster system and the Mitsubishi Sterion) for lending its technology, was a big factor in performance and longevity. It was the weaker components like the oil cooler (gasket failure), fluidized motor mounts, shaky torque tube, belts, front engine seals for the myriad of rollers onboard, warping radiator expansion tank, A-Arms, sunroof system, etc, that made it a pain in the butt!!! Once repaired though, it could go forever.......

I love the 944.
