1977 Porsche 924 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Following the site required specifics, this car is a lot of fun! Although it has only 95 or so horsepower, it goes like a bat out of hell! Handling is almost like a dream as it has a 49/51 balance ratio and seems to be glued to the pavement. As for its build quality it has a few setbacks. The uni-body construction is a great start however, it needs to have many of its connection points re-connected with rubber grommets in order to minimize the various squeeks and groans that I have heard the car make while driving. It also needs a complete reworking of the shift gate apparatus as it is too prone to wearing out after about 100,000 or so kms. The appearance of the car is most certainly pleasing to the eye especially if there is a fairing package and a "Whale Tail" on the rear deck. Sure, it may not be the most powerful car that Porsche has built, but do you have a Porsche? Fuel miliage is pretty good for a well maintained 924 such as mine although I have yet to do the calculations for ltrs./100kms. Regular maintainence is most certainly more frequent for an exotic, even one that is low on the scale as a 924, but still worth the right of ownership.Mar 28, 2010
