There were two main reasons I bought the 944 as a daily driver.
1. It needed bringing back from the dead - so the price was very attractive.
2. It was very DIY-able.
Prior to that I had a more modern car but it was a nightmare to do anything except check and change the oil. I consider myself mechanically competent, it's part of my job after all, but I have found that newer cars are an absolute pain to work on. I don't even have the excuse of 'fat hands' and still find the access to most of the engines is atrocious. Even the simplest job requires taking half the car to pieces.
