Top gear Porsche 944

[v6hot]

Typical shit top gear start by testing a car then screw it up by doing stupid things to put put the focus on themselfs and not the car.

[onpsxmember]

i love the pop up lights...

just think about a modern car that would come with them...

a big FU to all the small bullshit these days...

and the big rear window...awesome...

the new rear lights of the 911 are so tiny-.-

and they make todays car always longer and longer...

someday the 911 will be as long as a S-Class

Although I've 'upgraded' to a Cayman S, which is hassle free, my old 944S2 Cabrio is a better drivers car. If you can live with its over engineered, tedious faults, its a bargain.

[thinkpad411]

I never understood what "E-registered" meant. Any Britons want to chime in?

[lxplaya13]

I used to have a 944S2. It was an amazing car that was very easy to drive, not the mention the gas mileage wasn't half bad. The only problem was the maintenance was pricy and needed to be done often.

[celt67]

Thats a lot of car for the money.

[ReSliSt]

944 is just awesome and cheap as well nowadays, why drive anything else if you can drive this fantastic porsche ?

[threezerol944t]

For someone like Clarkson who normally doesnt like Porsches, I was pleased to hear him speak highly of my beloved 951's. The 951 is an outstanding sleeper. 951 with 400 to the wheels is nearly untouchable in most situations, with a proper driver.

[goingwithzed]

the original theme was pretty god awful

[maxkuznetsov123456]

[ebednov]

my first toy car at age 23. Low on power high on handling. Lots of little fixes but could be daily driver. LOVE.

[quagsiremango]

if i can't afford a Lamborghini diablo when i am 18 then i will buy this car

[BoseATI]

Good job on cutting out the best part nub

[p90fanatic]

I actually just got a 944 for my first car. It needs a paint job badly but hey, it's a Porsche all the same

[ijlembassy]

@p90fanatic me to lol first car and best

[Levinae8620v]

if it was a porsche theres no problem with the speed limits, gaz costs, etc etc etc you stupid Jeremy

[alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

The Porsche 944 Turbo is an amazing car. The S2 version is pretty good as well. I love its looks(with pop-up headlamps). I wish Porsche would make it again.

I love both the Porsche 928 and 944. Never really got on with the 911, although I respect the later models abilities.

[Ferrari73703]

@alphabetaxenonzzzcat, The only existing Porsche is the 911. 924s, 944s, even 918s are uncool.

[Vaicurious]

@Ferrari73703

Don't forget that high end cars in general are for balding old men suffering from mid life crisis's.

[claus964]

@Vaicurious ... or for people who just want a good ride. And knows about cars... :-)

[94hourstilAHIG]

@Vaicurious uh, right. ever consider that some people just enjoy driving? I think that's a very childish generalization.

[Lillie1986]

@alphabetaxenonzzzcat I work at a Ferrari dealership and I recently bought a 944 Turbo that I intended to convert into a racecar. It is amazingly quick this car, mine has a wastegate with a stronger spring, shipped and different sparkplugs for a total cost of around 500 dollars and it now has around 270 hp. It does feel as fast as a 400+ hp Ferrari though, and it barely costs anything. It is an EXTREMELY underrated car this.

[alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

@Lillie1986 As a 'driver's car' the Porsche 944 is right up there. It has superb balance(engine at the front and gearbox at the back help). The engines are really good as well. Granted that with the turbo, there is some turbo lag, but still it shifts.

[haydenlewisd]

@Lillie1986 I absolutely love my 944T I hit track days any chance I get. In my opinion the best "Drivers" Car out there.

[Lillie1986]

@haydenlewisd Me to, theres absolutely no downsides to that car. Its fast, handles superbly, easy to tune if you want to, semi easy to work on. Much cheaper both the car and parts than equal performing cars.

[c4tze]

@alphabetaxenonzzzcat they just were many years up their time when they came out. the 928 and the 944 are those cars i definately i want to own within the next few years and hey. at least theyre not as expensive as all the 911 and 993 models ;)

[BHassan786]

which idiot cut out he end?

@nckgasser mudafoker its the same vid you lame ass cocksucker

[Ferrari73703]

944s look great

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Looks horrid though :-(

[maikeru01]

944 is the best looking car porsche has ever made. well, except for that new 918 spyder.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@maikeru01 Keep taking the tablets my friend.

[maikeru01]

@MagicAyrtonforever to each his own but I hate modern Porsches. I honestly do not want one at all. They're fast and all but they look like vw bugs or something. Just boring, uninspired, and not very cool. For porsche money, almost anything else is better looking.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@maikeru01 I know what you mean.. I' getting a pro charged Nissan 370Z next, fed up with Porsche rip off prices too.

[claus964]

@MagicAyrtonforever Don´t get me wrong - but you will not pay for a quality car, but rather have a "...I wish a had the money for a real sportscar, but I don't " - with a family car logo on the steering wheel ;-)

Your Nissan will not last for 35 years - the Porsche will...

[claus964]

@maikeru01 Just to inform you. There is such a thing as "design icon" and "style". Plus, the Porsche was here before the beetle. So if anything, the beetle is a "Porsche Look Alike" ;-)

[maikeru01]

@claus964 still ugly

[germanbeerboy]

@maikeru01 Your ugly



[DrakorGaet]

@claus964 sorry, but no. Ferdinand Porsche was comissioned to build a car for the people. A so called Volkswagen. It was Hitlers idea that everybody should have a car. Anyways, Porsche then built what we know as the first beetle. After the war Ferdinand and his son Ferry founded a car company and used their surname as a brandname => Porsche. By the way, the beetle was the platform for the first Porsche 356 and it was Ferry who designed the first 911. Also, Ferdinand came from Vienna, Austria.

[bobbysworld98]
