my co-worker has been nagging me to find a 944 over a 914....
i told him that the 914 is a much better handling car,
but he's saying that the 944, being 'newer' is more reliable and is 'more of a chick magnet'

i think he's wrong.... but i have nothing to back it up....

let's hear the pro's and the con's of each

I was driving a 944 a few years back and while sitting at a stop light idling, the timing belt broke with only 15k on it, everything done right etc. I made a phone call and sold the car right there on the street. Guy came and picked it up, gave me the cash. Haven't owned one since.

Poor, poor timing belt system design. They never really fixed it either, even with the 87' and later models.
