What do think about the Porsche 964 body style and do they have any specific problems or quirks?

The 964 is my 2nd favourite body style from Porsche after the newest of the 911's.|||They were and are beautiful cars, with more integral bumpers than any 911 that went before them. However, collectors definitely prefer the next and last air-cooled car, the 993: still better bumpers, better aerodynamics with the first laid-back headlights, and more power from the same size engine.





The 964 and 993 are pretty similar otherwise. The original Teutonic (spartan) interior of the 911 continues in these cars; it was replaced (not entirely successfully in some opinions) in the 996. In truth, the newer cars are better cars. The latest body style, the 997, has improvements over the 996, including some "return to the 993" features that mollify those who hated the first water-cooled car, the 996.





In terms of mechanicals, newer is always better; the 964 is now three generations behind current technology. A good example: the standard 964 when introduced delivered 247 HP with 228 lb-ft of torque from the 3.6 litre engine; the new 997 Carrera with direct injection delivers 345 HP and 288 lb-ft from its 3.6 litre engine. The 997 Carrera S, with the larger 3.8 litre engine, delivers 385 HP and 310 lb-ft torque.|||They are beautiful! but the a/c has problems. its the same one on the late 944s. the evaporators tend to go bad. but they are SOOO fast!
