Why do I keep hearing that an Automatic Porsche 944 is bad?

Is it better to buy a manual transmission Porsche 944? I would prefer to buy an automatic but I've been hearing that more problems come with an automatic, is that true? And do you have any tips on what I should watch out for in a Porsche 944?





Thanks|||It's a dog...the 3-speed tyranny rev's too high on the hwy, and sap's too much power from the motor, so it will be significantly slower than a manual





Also, unless you have traction control(which 944's do not), it may be a real handful in snow or heavy rain.





944 is a GREAT car for the sunbelts...not so great in an area which has 4-real seasons. Consider also, the "newest" 944 is 21 years old...age of a car is as important as mileage when considering repair costs...the DME box alone is VERY expensive(like $1500-2000)|||automatics dont know what the hell to do when you're trying to go fast, then your transmission takes a crap after a while. get a manual so you control what gear you are in. automatics suck in my opinion even though i own 2
