activa Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Woweeee! How did I miss this debate first time around! For the record, I like the 944 and would like to suggest that those buying them recognise a well built performance bargain when they see one and one of a relatively classic shape when looking at its counterparts of the time.

Agoogy Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Thank you gents ... sat in an office posting to the threads that interest/enrage you can sometimes feel quite alone in your opinion...it always nice to be proved right! check out www.mendrax.com for some great images n the 951 gallery section... for proof, if more proof were needed that the 944 still has what it takes..

RichTT Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Ok my 2 cents worth. I own a Porsche 993 turbo and a 2002 BMW 330ci sport,but I did own a 944 turbo(black/black leather)and a 944 before that. When I was driving my 944 turbo,I Went to test drive a Porsche 996.It was just like a quicker version of my BMW, a bit souless/boring really(not in my opinion what a Porsche is about)though It made my mind up to get a 993 turbo for definite. I Got back in my 944 turbo and within a couple of seconds, a smile was back on my face-great cars;I was very sad to see it go,but wanted a 993 turbo and needed a family car as well,so it had to go. Got £500 more than I advertised it for as well-had to beat off the buyers!! For the money 944's are pretty much unbeatable. But everyone to their own. As for lotus, all I know is a friend of mine had an esprit and after a few months sold it, bought a 911 3.2 and has had it ever since I think. In my opinion 944's are more of a Porsche than modern 911's, and hence better cars,whether they are better than a Lotus Elise,I'll hold back a driving opinion as I haven't driven one,but a car made from a plastic kit, with a rover engine seems more like a kit car than a lotus to me. Anyway the main thing is Enjoy your cars,not matter what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
