question, what are the top 5 year cars to own and why? thoughts

RKD in OKC

All of them.

Marine Blue

Any year GTS....because they are rare and have great hips.

86.5 - Lighter, older body style but more powerful engine.

90 GT - Almost as good as the GTS

Adamant1971

87, electrically similar to the S3 but with the S4 goodies and styling.

MjRocket

+1 on the 87

MainePorsche

+1 on 87.
Patriarch of the later models.
And, I like it analog.

Marine Blue

You guys are biased. Having sold my 87 and 90 I'm no longer biased. If I were in the market those are the years I would focus on.

91 GT BETTER than the GTS.

MjRocket

I will say the 89 is superb as well.

MainePorsche

Many years ago I had an 86.5 and thought (and think) very well of it.

Early 87, squirter engine, adjustable, folding wing, antenna in window, no digital, no airbag, built before the bean counters took over!

The right answer for you depends on your priorities, mine are different than above.

My 35KMI 1981 OB is comparatively simple, was inexpensive, has a 16V (non-interference engine) and is a comfortable daily driver. Less to break down, yet lots of fun. Unpretentious.

Rob Edwards

'78, 85Euro S, 88CS, 89GT, 95GTS. All 5-speeds.

78
85 Euro S
86.5
89 GT
95 GTS

I'd put the 91 GT or S4 next.

All 5-speed, except 91 S4 (if I had to do it all over...)

Tazzieman

The '81 with "81+'86 hybrid engine
