I'm looking for something more fun as a daily beater...umm commuter.
I have a commute of about 100 miles round trip and my daily driver is starting to have transmission issues 04 mazda 6 wagon. I can go 1 of 2 ways 1) Late model Toyota or Honda...boring ride or spend the same $$ and 2) mid 80's 944 and maybe a late 90's jeep cherokee If I have to drive this much I may as well enjoy the ride. How reliable are the mid 80's 944? If I get a realitively low milage one that has been maintained. |

I have had a 944 and currently have a 968 that I use as a daily driver. The 968 seems to be cheaper to maintain mainly due to a half price clutch job compared to the 944 (4 hours labor instead of 15-20). I have had no major issues just standard stuff you would find on amy car. My 968 get appx 30mpg at 70mph. So no complaints there. I bought mine wiht 70k on the clock and I am up to 155k now. She still gets me where I want to go rain, shine, or snow.
