The rest of the later model Porsches probably would never have been built if it wasn't for the 924 saving the day for the Company!
The 924S is, I think, a wonderful 'wolf in sheeps clothing' car, it has been the most fun as well as cheap car to own I have ever had. It is also fast, reliable, economical and has the capacity to carry much more 'stuff' than most sports cars.

Don't tell anyone cos I want to keep it a secret but the Turbo is even better.
It is a sweetheart of a car, which over time keeps surprising you. It becomes part of the furniture, it should be a classified as a true design classic. Its so good I dont want to sell mine, Im constantly justifing ways of running three cars even though there is only two of us in the house. My 911 is a fantastic old car, but i love my 924S it has become trully embeded in my everyday life. If anyone ask's me is it worth buying a 924 i will always say YES, YES and YES you will not regrete it. I also like its in the shadows of the 911 reputation, as when driving my 911 everyone and i mean everyone looks, points and gives an opinion on the car, however my 924S can get away slippping through the traffic un-noticed, with only me really knowing what jo-public is missing out on. Fantasitic, Fantastic, Fantastic.
Please PORSCHE Bring back the 924 the world needs cars like these.

I purchased my 924S for 'buttons' but had to spend a bit on it to get it to how I wanted it. It was my first Porsche and whilst a Boxster has come and gone and a 911 has joined the garage my trusty old 924S remains.
It is the longest I have ever owned a car and I doubt I will ever sell it whilst I have garage space.
The fact that it is cheap to insure on classic limited mileage and has a low market value means that I don't feel any pressure to sell it.
It is a great handling car, sounds great and I can fit two people in the back including a wheel chair (try that in a Boxster or 911!)
The 924 is one of the bargains of the sports car world and one of the most rewarding to drive and own. If you don't own one then BUY ONE NOW!

The looks.
Every morning as I draw the curtains, always brings a smile to my face!!!
As MJG says above, no one knows its a porsche so you can park it in the supermarket with confidence ( when I did that with a 911 I wasn't sure if I'd see it again or vandalised.
The mid range torque of the 924S is simply exhilarating showing a clean pair of heels to the competition who just can't figure it out.
Only wish it sounded like the flat six of trhe 911 or the low growl of the 928 V12 .

I like the 924 because it saved the company from financial ruin in the 1970's etc etc but also its the baby of the Porsche range and probably the most humble and under estimated little car. Thats why I like the 924.
