There's absolutely nothing wrong with having the engine in the front - I've had 3, the last for the past 10 1/2 years, and love her! I remember my (then) local OPC commenting, we'd had a couple of weeks of hot weather (it was a year or three back) followed by showers on the Monday morning. The OPC had suddenly become very busy rescuing rear engined cars from various trees, crash barriers and hedges! I prefer any pirouetting (very limited these days!) to be on the dance floor, not a local roundabout! It's also good to have a car you can use for the supermarket trip rather than struggling to find room for a toothbrush and clean underwear if you want to go away for a night!

Alas in the upper eschelons of Porsche ownership the 924/944 is often misunderstood. I suspect it's got a lot to do with some badge snobbery and the inverse to that from being able to buy a £1k Porsche. It's for this reason that I always flash and wave at every Boxster/Cayman/997 driver so that they don't forget their heritage. [] Forums though - surely it's far easier to ignore some misplaced ranting and raving when in the comfort of your own home and not get dragged into some debate about what is "better" or "worse"? If a Cayman driver thinks a 944 is pointless in respect of the 964 then so what? As long as you like it then that's cool.

It seems the 944 section of this forum has the most posts by a long shot, 7900 or so, the next biggest being the Boxster at 3600. Says alot about these cars and just how popular they are. Edd

Being a 944 owner and a Lotus owner I find myself on a number of forums. Anyway, I know a cayman owner who got involved on a lotus site about other lotus owners appreciating and liking the 944 and wanting to buy one. In typical fashion a complete nonce who thinks porsches are only porsches if the engine is in the - rear except his is in the middle) starts to say that a 944 is a pointless waste of money when a 964 can be had for a few K more.
I said to him (being a proud owner of a 944 S2) that I didn't think much of the 964 and personally think it is the least interesting of the 911 variants (we're all allowed personal opinion after all aren't we?). He seems to think that I have said a great taboo and would not post my opinion on a porsche site.
So there you go...I don't like the 964...shoot me.
For the record I also told a load of lotus owners I think the evora looks rubbish too.
I like my porsches front engined...looking forward to more of them in the future!

If any car is pointless it has to be the cayman, well not so much pointless as a good old rip. Only at Porsche would you pay more for a coupe than the equivalent soft top. Yes the 924/44 was pointless; so pointless in fact that it saved Porsche from bankruptcy. That's how good them engine-in-the-back thingys are. Couldn't sell enough of them to stay afloat.

Nice one i might start doing that, i find if you look at owners of the new breed like Caymans and Boxsters they're just overpaid business types and toffee nosed supermums who think they're buying into some sort of exclusive 'i know my motors mate' club.ORIGINAL: James_G Alas in the upper eschelons of Porsche ownership the 924/944 is often misunderstood.

Guys please leave this stuff for Pistonheads []

For pity's sake can we not just bury this attitude for once and for all? It helps no-one. We all drive great cars - thats why we are here. There are some horrible owners of all of them - and I've met far too many for my liking, but don't tar all with the same brush - most on here are the nicest people you could meet.
Well said Mark.

Seconded. There are idiots in all cars, and some of my best friends drive Boxsters and Caymans. (Should that be Caymen? [8|])
