47926’s Porsche 944

The best four cylinder normally aspirated cat of it's time. This car is very enjouable and was used daily.

Here are some of my impressions with regards to driveability

You must keep in mind that the older cars should not be compared to the technology available today .

This S2 was a superb car. It was stock standard and was bought to commute 100 mile per day. This is the car that I must say is most enjoyable to use in city and open roads. The torque was just so nice and to pass cars was a dream. This car was quick of the mark and had a top speed of 149 MPH (240 KMH) and it got there quick. The car is a pleasure to drive, the sport seats, ride height, clearance and every thing else was just right It had a five speed gearbox and the shift was perfect the clutch pedal was soft and easy in traffic.

The 944 was good in this category. This car handled superb. I never took it to the track but on the road it was perfectly balanced even side winds did not make an impact.

The braking ability of this car was good no mater what the conditions this was due to the magnificent 4 pod calipers all round as well as the ABS..

The best and fastest work horse I have ever owned.!!!!!!!!!!
