Porsche 959

Advantages: the coolest 4x4 ever!!
Disadvantages: everything is an optional extra!

...a wonderful peice of kit! although it maybe pricey its worth every penny, when you hit the sports button in my words it goes from cayenne to turbo carrea! it sounds like a nascar when you put your foot down a little, produces an orgasmic sound! the handling of this car is wonderful (on the road) but do be worned my recent testing had prooven this car to be a let down when it comes to snow and offroading! on the other side... when they say the starting price is £75,000 they really mean it! porsche provides everything...as an optional extra!, even floor mats at £90 for a set! You dont even get wheels as standard! i would highly recomend the bose surround sound system for a music lover!... Read review

The text below describes the features, weaknesses, and benefits of the 944 model variations. First a bit of history. The Porsche 944 was introduced in 1983 based largely on the earlier 924 model. However the 944 included many changes and upgrades compared to the earlier model, the most obvious visual clue being the flared wheel arches to cover the wider track of the new model, the air dam and the rear spolier.
