944 NA Auto

The main reason I want a 944 is because it is known for its handling. Speed and acceleraction (spelling. @.@) is nice and all, but it does get boring after some time, so handling is much more fun to throw the car down in to a corner. Anyway, will having an automatic 944 NA be any differant in handling compaired to the turbo and S2?

The automatic will be alot slower than the manual. Slower shifts and it only has 3 gears, harder to accelerate out of a corner. The suspension will be the same as other 8v n/a's though. Turbos and S2's have better suspension.

Yep, the auto's are quite a bit slower...

Hmmm... well I am mostly in to corning at high speeds, think paying 3 grand for a 87 944 with 120,000 on it is worth it, will I sitll have fun throwing it down in to the corner?

The price doesn't sound too bad as long as it is in good condition. The transmission is all driver preference. I LOVE shifting my own gears. Sure driving it around some would be fun, but I think the automatic would get boring. Which do you prefer?

I also like to shift my own gears, but I do like Auto's also cause when your tired, its nice to just be able to hit the gas peddle and go.

Sounds like a good fit for you then.
