4:30 or so. I literally never driven a manual, 18 years old, meet up with a seller of a 83' 944 at a Kroger. Bought a 944 and thought to myself after buying, no test drive before meeting, gave thousands to a guy I've never met, had a friend drive me to said Kroger thinking, I'm getting my new Porsche home... It was half way between seller and me, easily 20 miles. Again I've never driven a manual, being young and dumb, have never used a towing company, said this is coming home. I learned to drive a manual with a little hello from p.o/seller and got my 944 home about 45 minutes later in rush hour. Great memories, I love these cars, maybe I got lucky to learn a manual quickly before screwing up the clutch. Got a 944 turbo a few years later and have owned 8 Porsche's (4 were auto though, Cayenne's) . Can't wait to find a super clean 944 turbo or 968 to have in the future

As an American we are used to horsepower. With a 944 you have to keep the revs up. That is where the fun is. Find a curvy road and enjoy. It's not a line car. Each car has its purpose. I agree, it's not a power car but the mix of power and handling is a smile maker. I have owned all kinds of cars and this class is what I have grown to enjoy. That's for me, no aspersions to anyone.

I put like $2000 in repairs to it but it needed another 5k to be 100 percent but I ended up selling it and broke even once I went to college. I wish I could've have kept it though looking back.

I always said that ! Besides, almost every major car factory had a top model that looked like the 944(924) in the late 80's. That says a lot by itself. Nobody has ever copied a 911.. I'm also not afraid to say it - the 911 - (used to) look like if you hit a beetle a couple of times with a sledgehammer. Never liked it. Ugly, antique. Just a very wide around 70 model with the wing looks ok to me. It's different nowadays, though, and I always loved the flat 6.

@@Mike-jj7tb yeah it's funny my mom (76 yo) just ordered a 2021 gle suv Mercedes 450 black with black rims and I talked her into the dark tan interior. I know all blk everything would be cool but I think blk@tan, grn@tan and the old egg shell cream that Mercedes had back in the day all look classy with that rich tan interior.... I want an f type 6cyl manual 2016 to 2018 with the old British racing green and dark tan interior. I'll pay to have it wrapped in the green but you can't find any with the manual for a decent price unless they're loaded with miles and have 2 or 3 owners. It is a true drivers car. Like your 944 . Not going to blow the doors off anything but fun to drive. I test drove a 2016 and was hooked but the price tag was pretty steep back then and still is now.

I always thought like you about the 944’s until I drove a 86 1/2 Toyota Supra! Looked very similar BUT with an inline 6 overhead cam engine! I found a Supra turbo that had had her head bolts replaced and a solid copper head gasket installed. It was a 5 speed model! I’m kicking myself in the butt for ever letting it go.

I've got the same affliction. I even had a 911 first but I still have more of a soft spot for the 924/944 than the 911. When I was in my teens I lucked up on an early 924T with like 40k miles on it for next to nothing. It was gunmetal grey with black interior and the sunroof. However the check valve on the oil feed to the turbo was stuck so if I took a left turn too quickly it would dump oil into the turbo and fumigate the street, the houses, the people within a block of my car with thick black smoke. That little car handled like it was on rails and was surprisingly very quick. I may be mistaken but I'd always been told that at the time of release the 924 was the best handling (skidpad) production Porsche ever made. Can anyone confirm or refute that?

Ruins the whole point of the car that is the weight distribution, though. The original 924 Turbo with the tiny 4 cylinder had more than 400 horsepower in Le Mans, and it didn't explode in 24 hours. That was good power to weight and a perfectly balanced racecar.

944 and 924s were built by germans in Audi factory at Neckarsulm. 911s were built by italians in Stuttgart. We have had 2 white 944 '84 cars for twenty years, still smile at them. Wife's car stays on the drive all year, used regularly, mine is garaged and still has original cills. They need to be run regularly or the head gaskets fall to pieces.

I had a bright red 87' 944. I bought it when I was 23. I loved that car. Picked up a rack of chicks with it and people tried hating. Its probably because it was their chicks I was scooping up. All I had to say was "I have a Porsche" and folks would smirk and say things like "Did YOU buy that Porsche?!?" I'd laugh and respond "YES! Pocket change! GOML". Mean while, it had something like 140,000 miles and was missing a third pedal. The value of them were at a all time low back then but still in alright condition. I've had tons of cars but like you said, the Porsche 944 is a car I'd love to own again... but with a turbo or V8. 👍
