"As you'll quickly discover, the answer to humdrum motoring is not the high performance car.
The really effective remedy is something even more exciting, The Porsche performance car.
Here, after all, is a machine of a supercar status that actually makes sense in everyday use. It is a breed of car that excels whether purring down the high street or powering down the autobahn.
As a perfect example, consider the Porsche 944. In a major AA survey it emerged as the most desired car in Britain.
Its attractions include an extremely potent, high torque engine; computerised fuel injection; a race-proven Transaxle driveline; internally-ventilated disc brakes; driver-sensitive power steering; and for good measure, 2+2 accommodation for surprisingly generous proportions.
But it's what it does, not what it has, that creates the greatest impression of all.
This 2.5 litre 4-cylinder 944 will perform as smoothly as a 6-cylinder, handle as only a Weissach-developed car can, and whisk you from 0 to 60 in 7.2 seconds.
With huge reserves of power and road handling, it reacts instantly to every driver command.
Yet as a suitably impressed Autocar remarked, the 944 will return 27 mpg "even when driven hard."*

Specifics relating to my 944 for sale:

This is an easy to drive car which qualifies for classic car insurance costing around £170 per year, so it's economical to run. For the weekend mechanic with the right information, you can work on this car yourself reducing costs further. Fuel economy is good and it performs especially well on the open motorways - it's been driven to the coast and back for weekend trips. Starts every time and no issues. I can direct you how you can get up to speed to work on the car yourself, including very useful reliable online resources.
I'm reluctantly selling due to relocation abroad and would prefer to keep her until after her 30th birthday in 2016. This is a clean, honest and trustworthy example of a pre-classic for around £3,737.
Thanks for looking and give me a call for a chat about the 944.
Have a great day,
Vijay
