Porsche 944 Coupe Lux FH 2d (1988/E) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Great performance and image for little money.
Costs
Some parts are expensive, but more frequently used parts like brakes etc are reasonable. Best to use Porsche specialist independant garages for servicing.

Driving
One of the best fun drives I've owned - always puts a smile on your face when you get behind the wheel.
Performance
It's no 911 but quick enough to keep you on your toes and great handling.

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