The Porsche 944 Turbo: When Beige Isn't Boring | E2E Ep14

[@caseytailfly]

Love the 944. This looks like a great example! Definitely one of the most memorable and cool “regular” cars from the 80s that you would actually see on the road in real life.

[@caseytailfly]

Have to admit that having your wine stolen from your 944 is maybe the most “Porsche” problem ever. 😂

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Very true 🤣🤣

[@afeudale]

Amazing! 944 is one of the best overall Porsche's of all time! Looks great, handles like a dream, practical with 4 seats and a huge boot - and unlike 911's, a home mechanic can actually work on the engine if needed.

[@thomass3769]

Wish I could give 1000 thumbs up for this. Great video and automobile!

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daveanspach9401]

Great video and really cool shots of the car. Can’t beat the 951 love these days! Quick note, there is indeed a rear hatch release button in the driver’s side footwell. No need to only use the key!

[@Everyday2Exotic]

We are so glad you liked the video! Thank you so much for watching, we are honored to have you along for the 944. And wow, we checked all over and couldn't find the rear hatch switch so it must be a real hidden one. We will have to check it again!

[@daveanspach9401]

Considering the beautiful shape your car is in, I’m sure you have an owners manual. Page 56 has the details including a picture of the button. 😊 You have several vehicles in your amazing collection which are also on a list of my own - if I had the space. 😂. Will enjoy watching your other videos. Super-cool that you both take the time to make them for us fellow nerds. Thank you!

I've always love the styling of this Porsche and feel it's overlooked a lot. Looks really good in that gold too. The all brown vinyl is a bit of a knock against it though lol.

[@Everyday2Exotic]

But what about that sexy brown carpeting? 🤣🤣

[@greatheightsu]

@@Everyday2Exotic those can stay, I like the lettering 🔥

[@oldrrocr]

Hey! thanks for this! Particularly like the quality of your production (including those risky drone shots!) I tend to break Porsches too easily, so have been an owner of the "nearest JDM clone" of this for several years. Pretty much the same experience, except without the "Porsche tax". That is a pristine car... please keep the vids coming!

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Thanks for watching! So far, no drones have been hurt in the making of these videos.

[@testsubject6676]

I find it particularly enjoyable when you're describing the "personality" of a car, what it "likes" and accommodates and so on. It sort of makes it its own person along side you guys. Also, well done with the Car Clash segment. I actually found myself getting invested and wondering which car would end up on top.

[@Kobomotive]

And the Oscar for the most cinematic opening sequence for a car review goes to…

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Isn’t it a fantastic shot?? Joel outdid himself.

[@dclipper8052]

Woe to the 944 that encounters a C4, thinking it's only good in a straight line.

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Good thing we're not racing!

[@bobyokey]

These videos are great. Such a wonderful variety of cars, and they're like a period road test in many ways. I had a couple of 944s when they were secondhand cars rather than classics, and this brought back so many memories of the cars' details. Film quality is brilliant. Well done, and thanks for sharing!

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Did any of your 944's have glorious brown carpeting? Ha! Thanks for watching and thank you for the kind words!

[@bobyokey]

@@Everyday2Exotic My next one will! No, the first was an early 2.5 litre with the square dash in a beautiful midnight blue, and the second was one of the first of the oval dash models in black. Both had black interiors. But, I've gone over to the dark side now and the current toy is an old Ferrari. If I can find a good, early 944 again, I'll snap it up!

[@ahaugland1]

@@bobyokey Out of curiosity, what variety of old Ferrari? There are certainly a few in the collection as well, but more to the very old end... I do think few people realized how great a car the 944 actually was. If it had been put out by anyone other than Porsche, it probably would have gained a more significant following, but it is hard to compete with the likes of the 911 pushing what you clearly know was a fantastic car into obscurity.

[@bobyokey]

@@ahaugland1 I agree with your scoring of the 944. One of its great strengths is its sheer practicality, which somehow makes it a little less special than it might otherwise be. It's just such a great all-round car. I'm enjoying a 400i at the moment. I've always liked the 2+2 layout, and I guess the 944 influenced my taste. You're right about front-engined Porsches being obscured by the 911, but there are small pockets of fanatics who appreciate them. Over here in the UK, a racing series for the 924 was one of the best supported grassroots championships in the 1990's and early 2000's. They've probably all been crashed by now, but it was fun while it lasted!

[@PenguTT44-sh2oe]

Am i the only american who thinks baige is actually a great looking color for a car

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Probably not, based on the amount of beige cars on the road these days.

[@ianalderton6683]

a lady asked me to help jump start her boyfriends car at the petrol station- an Opel- she asked: why does he have so much (924) and you so little ? : ) PS, the 968 is probably one of the best cars ever made- I already moved onto a 911 . . . .

[@ahaugland1]

An 8 cylinder front engined Porsche is definitely a car we may add to he collection at some point in time! They are also getting exceptionally rare to see on the road or find in good condition...

[@ianalderton6683]

@@ahaugland1 not a 928- look at 968s they are wonderful : )

[@Andrew-lmnfooo]

Thanks for nicely done , well edited video . I like your way of doing it, its really enjoyable and educative . It seems like its a fairly new channel and yet it is quite professional . Looking forward to see new videos . ( just subscribed )👍

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Thank you! We really wanted to showcase the cars in a way that we enjoyed. Glad you enjoyed it too!

[@erikerin2016]

Another great video. (Was some of the music choices a bit 1980-ish??? If so, nicely done!) Love 944's...My first Porsche was an 83' back in the 90's and really wish I had held onto it. Own an 86' 911 now which I love to death....but, the 944 still holds my heart. Thanks for reviewing your 944. Really nice to see these getting used and still out there. Keep up the great work! Erik

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Thanks Erik! We all love a little 80’s vibe right? The 911 is so iconic too. Love them all!

[@dinoallbaugh891]

Good review thanks!!

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Thanks for watching!

[@NR-vw2rd]

Classy video and wow in gorgeous shape. I would love to go to Oregon and drive my 944 with you and others in the area. A 944 club drive?

[@carlfoleen9086]

With the proper bracing, open doors *could* act as a fairly effective speed brake. With the notable exception of contacting other vehicles when drployed.😅

[@Everyday2Exotic]

Fair point. If we had hardware to open them to a horizontal position, we may be able to get airborne as well 🤣

[@Mikee5star]

For a nice car of this type and class, buy an original, the Mitsubishi Starion.

[@Everyday2Exotic]

To be able to play CD’s or cassettes… it’s too hard to choose!

[@Mikee5star]

@@Everyday2Exotic It's a knockoff of a Japanese GT car. 924s were getting smoked by Celica's.

[@NR-vw2rd]

I have both a 1988 Conquest TSi (turbo) and 1990 944S2, both red, and they are quite similar in looks but very different drives. I’m a wide fender lover.

[@J.H.HOLLIDAY]

its a 951 PORSCHE
