1984 Porsche 944 - A mixed bag.
The Porsche 944 is a fun little car. I liked that it was a four-cylinder and got pretty good gas mileage. It had plenty of pep. The sunroof added a nice touch to it in the summer. The rear tail of the car made it look cheap with the rubber on it. The front bumper also had rubber. But, it's not as bad as the back of the car. It just distracts from the overall appearance of the car. Otherwise, it's pretty good looking. I get a lot of "HELLLLLLLLLLO's" in it.
Story
One fun memory I had with this car is hooking up the special Porsche sign above the license plate. I mounted it and wired it in. After that, I tested it out at night, and it looked great. The car gets a lot of attention from random strangers and gives you opportunities for some exciting conversations!
Pros
Good gas mileage. Fairly good-looking car. Sturdy construction. Comfortable interior. Many parts of the car can be upgraded. Good value.
Cons
No room for anything. It only has two doors. It's only a four-cylinder. Rubber exterior on bumper and tail feels cheap. It's not very good in the snow.
1994 Porsche 944 - Disappointed
Porsche Boxster is a beautiful car appearance wise. It's a one-of-a-kind driving experience, hugs the road, and handles extremely well. Gas economy is not bad for a sports car. Storage space is better than expected with both front and rear storage. Gives the driver a great driving buzz experience. Down sides are the cost of any and all maintenance. It's low to the ground, which many people will not like. As it's so low to the ground, you feel any road surface unevenness. And some years have a serious problem with the engine bearings which render the car undriveable. Needing thousands of dollars in repair bills.
Story
Driving with the top down feeling the wind and being at one with the road. Taking long drives. Admiring waves and horn signals from other motorists.
Pros
Appearance. Speed. Handling. Great driving experience. Dream sports car. Interior noise level is low. Storage is adequate.
Cons
Cost of any and all maintenance. Certain years have a serious problem with the engine bearings which render the car undriveable. Cost. Suspension is a rough. Two seater.
1991 Porsche 944 - Sports car.
The Porsche-944 is mainly known as sports car. It is manufactured between 1982 to 1991. It has a front engine, rear wheel drive mid level model based.
Story
One day the A/C doesn't work, which makes driving in Florida miserable in August. Mine has also been a constant battle with the lights. I've been chasing ghosts in the electrical system for years.
Pros
They're very well built and reliable. Very low mileage.
Cons
High price. 944s are not temperamental. Not automatic. The door looks very ugly.
