1987 Porsche 944 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers of the 1987 Porsche 944 express a lot of enthusiasm for its handling, performance, and distinct style. Many appreciate the 50/50 weight distribution and how it tackles corners, making it enjoyable for spirited driving. Owners frequently mention that while it's not the fastest car available, it compensates with excellent agility and a fun driving experience. However, some owners noted issues with maintenance costs and the need for occasional repairs, particularly with oil leaks and parts replacements."
Great handling, good acceleration. Ive had no problems sicne owning it. Burns a little bit of oil due to the turbo. Its really fun to drive. I love how it looks from the front not too mch from the back.
June 22, 2009I own a 1987 Porsche 944 turbo. Otherwise known as a Porsche 951. The car was designed to be a well balanced sports car. Not heavy on power, nor on weight. Thanks to it's 50/50 weight balance and great torque curve, the car can cut through turns like a cart on rails, with enough power to soak up the straights in seconds.
February 26, 2009The engine is a design that is one half of the Porsche 928 engine. A balance shaft was added to steady the engine. This is a very unique design for its time. It is difficult to find many of this model left. There is a plastic shim that the valve chain rides over, that needs to be replaced with regular maintenance. Many people forget to do this. This is a #2-#3 rated Classic car.

February 7, 2011Great car. I miss this one a lot! Not a lot of room inside, but it feels like a drivers car. Everything about it said "DRIVE ME!" The car looks great with a very distinctive style. Nothing on the road drive like a Porsche.
July 16, 2009Awsome car! Most fun you can have with you pants firmly attached in 1987 and now! Will buy purchasing shortly. Great acceleration and excellent gas mileage. Maintenance can be a bit pricey. All in all very fun car to drive and be seen driving. Would recommend to anyone as long as you find one in good condition.
July 22, 2008This is a turbo model with a chip, which isn't anything extensive but I feel like you get the kick you want without getting too ridiculous and away from the original car. Its great, i love it.
May 7, 2008The overall appearance of the 944 seemed to be in the same category as the Dodge Daytona or Chrysler Conquest TSi of the 80's. These zippy little hatchbacks have been brought back to life in various forms. Everything from stock/turbo engines to LS1 V-8s have made these formidable track monsters. Once deemed the poor man's Porsche, it's not uncommon to see one leave a higher priced model in the dust.
January 9, 2015This sweet heart of a car has spawned so many manufacturers to copy it's styling you'll run out of fingers and toes counting how many. I bought mine sight unseen due to it's rare color combination and low miles. If you like to twist a wrench and have a place to tinker, this is the car for you. Easy and uncomplicated to maintain, you won't need a mechanics license to keep it on the road.
February 17, 2012it handles great. when i stop at an intersection all eyes are on the porsche. it starts everytime even in below zero temps. parts are costly but very seldom needs repairs. never breaks down. they built them solid. customizing is fun
