ive got an '83 930 that ive enjoyed for 7 years, driven a friends '91 turbo which happens to be left hand drive, and is similar but different.... i like the raw 930, the car i saved up for since leaving school! no power steering, so heavy parking but more feel at speed, only 4 speed gearbox, but great fun leaving it in second gear right up to 90mph, not so much fun trying to stop the thing, i seem to remember the 1984 cars had a bigger servo, but still not great at stopping.. 83 was the last year before the heavy electric seats, so should be lighter than the t2 and more nimble. his car is no faster than mine, early cars seem to have less to go wrong, but feel more of an antique now ,depends what you want it for, squirting past slow traffic is fun but wont be easy with left hand drive, but if you want to do trackdays the coil springs and abs of the t2 would be better ,and a nice short gearlever, you can always throw the heavy seats out, and it would be better for european trips, if the cars are a similar price i think a t2 would be easier to adapt to after your 944. i keep thinking i could sell mine and move to a lhd t2 for the same money but too lazy to do it, maybe next year..what does your partner think? my girlfriend wont drive the 930 as the steerings too heavy (17 inch wheels and small momo wheel) but she wont drive my LHD C2 either!!!! oh and the colour-- the paints only put on a car to stop it rusting......
