Porsche 944 Coupe 1982-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great performance and image for little money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Some parts are expensive, but more frequently used parts like brakes etc are reasonable. Best to use Porsche specialist independant garages for servicing.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    One of the best fun drives I've owned - always puts a smile on your face when you get behind the wheel.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's no 911 but quick enough to keep you on your toes and great handling.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Had a spell for 6 months where had one problem after another, but that was just down to age of the car and everything needed replacing at once. Generally good though.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Some say the 944 looks dated, but it depends what you like. I still think it looks awesome with a great presence, especially from the front.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Driver comfort is fairly good for a sports 2+2 - supportive seats.
