I've always loved the 944. I could care less what journo's say, it's a perfectly balanced, rwd PORSCHE. Can't really go wrong there
It's styling is timeless too.. still looks damn good.
I'd say direct competition would be a FC RX-7.. they almost look exactly the same, and their engines are both mounted front-mid.. But I'd much rather go with the reliable 4 cylinder than the rotary..
Nice review, I know I'd enjoy owning a 944 just as much as you are!
