Porsche 924 S FH 2+2 2d (1986/C) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Not worth that much but you can't have this much rear-wheeled drive fun for less!
Costs
Fuel usage in 1st-4th is quite high once you get into 5th very low. Loves both motorways and country roads. Service costs quite high

On the road
Driving
You sit low down and there is a mass of information through the wheel and pedals, far more than modern cars.
Performance
Nice and fast 0-50 in 5.4 seconds; top speed 140mph.

Living with it
Reliability
My uncle had it for 15 years my dad 5 and now I've started using it. Only one thing has ever gone wrong and that's when the alarm fell onto the brake pedal and this wasn't fitted by Porsche in the first place.
Image
Great being in a Porsche that isn't a 911! Popup headlight are cool too.
Comfort
Nice seats and ride is OK, but doesn't like bumps too much.

Alarm and steering lock but that's all.
