Pretty interesting stuff... What are your opinions on the 944?

They may be slightly biased

seems to be pretty accurate, but the guy might be somewhat retarded if he can't reach the e-brake without opening the door. there is plenty of room for that. along with his complaint about switches that can't be found, you know where they are, feel around a bit...

that said, i have to contest his point about late cars being better...they are heavier and more expensive parts-wise to maintain than early cars...the only 'improvement' is the dash, but that brings many problems with it the early dash didnt have...

good enough article for a first-time buyer though

I like how he compares the acceleration in the 944 NA with the Subaru WRX. WTF do you expect?

Haha yeah I agreed with a lot of what he said but he was kinda harsh on the interior. I love the look of an analog clock in the car

V2Rocket

it is fairly comparable to a bugeye/next gen Impreza, if not a WRX...

I beg to differ.

He Seems Very Nit-Picky on the interior , I means come onnnnn just drive the thingggg lol jesus.

The Bitch is whining about no cupholders.

I dig the analog VDO Quartz-Zeit clock. The "Made in Germany" mark on the edge of the bezel is a nice touch too.

He's right, it doesn't keep time for **** though after nearly 30 years. I probably just need lubricate the internals.

on my 924S, the analog clock was incredibly accurate. just sayin.

the article is agreeable in a lot of points and a little to harsh in others. he's comparing more modern cars to the 944 and that's just not fair to the 944. in it's day, the 944 was a well built, quick, reliable, and great looking sports car! i get compliments on mine all the time and driving it is a joy. i could compare it to my 05 RX-8 but it wouldn't be fair to the car. i could compare it to my 85 RX-7 and there would be many ups and few downs. the build quality is still excellent if you ask me. no car is perfect but the 944 is a true enthusiast's dream.
