The result is handling so magical that during the 944 s heyday, David E. Davis, Jr., called it the benchmark against which all other vehicles dynamics should be measured. In our June 1988 issue, we reported that the 944 Turbo S was consistently two seconds quicker around Willow Springs International Raceway than the 911 Turbo.

Water pumps and timing belts have a 60,000-mile life expectancy, and starter problems are common.
Repairs are very, very expensive.
