what it lacked in 0-60 acceleration, porsche made up for it two fold in its superb handling. between being  the easiest german car i've ever worked on, and very very stunning, aggressive styling, make this a car guys friend.  drop the clutch and this 2.5 inline 4 will smoke the tires.  i was also able to locate an after market stroker kit, which i believe would make it comparable to the 3 liter 4 cylinder that porsche put into the 1990 model.

Pros — stylish, quick, aggressive, fun.
Cons — approx. 7.9-8.3 0-60

My car is a slightly modified version of the stock model, its got the turbo front bumper and a rear spoiler from the 968..
The build quility of the modifications could be better, but overall its ok..
The engine is still the stock 2,5 163 Bhp engine and it runs perfectly..

Pros — The attention it gets because of the special colour..
Cons — I've crashed it 2 times, so the rims are ruined..

The only problem i have is the quick loss of traction in turns at low speed.And its a maintance cost is realy high.Its a fun car to drive on the open roads not in town because the lack of power steering and its ride hight.If u are not a Porsche fan it is wise not to buy one

Pros — It has realy good road holding if u drive it right if not u wil experience a lot of traction los
Cons — The lack of power steering

not the fastest car in the world, but ill never find one that handles better

Pros — unbelievable handling, perfect 50-50 weight balance, very very well built.
Cons — a bit underpowered for my taste, but can hold its own against a mustang gt.

This car can be picked up for around 4-6 grand and is a blast. It handles great and even though it is old, it has a high quality engine in it and will last.

Pros — Attractive body, easy to drive, quality.
Cons — Expensive timing belt. Not an amazing amount of HP

I own the non turbo version so the acceleration is not what it could be.  The car is the best handling automobile that I 've had the pleasure of laying my hands on.  The trans is in the back to make for an almost perfect 50-50 weight distribution.  One problem, which I knew before I bought the car, is all the little things that go wrong with it.  Just make sure to keep it well kept or your going to blow a waterpump/timing belt and have to rebuild your engine.

Pros — The looks I get on the street
Handling
Cons — Little stuff breaking down

My cheap find - I bought the car for $350 (and it RAN FINE) :)

Pros — Handled like a dream.  Was probably the most solid car I've ever owned.  Engine needed little to no work and maintenance was almost non-existant.
Cons — Was falling apart a bit on the inside.  But I loved it all the same.

Drives Awesome, powerful engine even after 20 years of service. Big electrical headaches ... but still a Porsche that is great to smile at in the morning!!

Pros — 50-50 weight distribution and great handling. Lots of fan clubs and sources for upgrades and spare parts. The perfect fixer upper project.
Cons — Can be costly if you want everything to work right, 4 cylinders is shy in power relative to the 928 beast.

handled great, interior was luxurious, faster then most 4 and some 6 cylinders. wasn't the best looking car but also wasn't the ugliest either. i liked this car because it was comfortable to drive, both in seating and ride quality, and it saved gas compared with an 8 cylinder.

Pros — handling was superb
Cons — not that quick
