Does anybody else have a soft spot for the Porsche 944?

I'm thinking of getting a 944 turbo in two or three years time if the insurance isn't too horrendous :ph34r:

THey are ok.

Was going to get one a couple of years ago... then I "discovered" the mk3 supra.. but ended up with a soarer :lol:

That one looks very tidy!!

forgive me if i'm wrong but isn't the 944 when they placed the engine in the front? :o

I saw one today, looked nice, retro cool style

sounded pretty menacing too! :thumbsup:

They dont look bad but the thing is there are so many better jap cars in the same price range.

Also i hear they are very expensive to repair and repair is the word that will be cropping up a lot. ;)

Love 944's .. my old man used to own a 924, sold it for a 924 Turbo .. and then had a 944 ..

But I know that my MR2 is quicker, more reliable and had the engine in the right place .. oh well, one dream shattered.

A while back there was an S4 in PVW that was running about 470bhp...

Audis are serious cars. I certainly wouln't mind one.

I'm convinced, however that the German car fraternity rate the Vr6 a bit too much.

Nah. It was good for Mazda that the RX-7 looked like a Porsche, but not so fortunate for Porsche.

Besides, I believe porsches should have rear engines, a shallow hood, tapered rear , and large round headlights. It's one of those timeless shapes like a Mini, a Jeep, or a (imagine that) VW bug. Notice that even an early 70's Porsche 911 doesn't look terribly dated.
