The 924 is not my favourite nor the wheel, but even the 928 is getting more popular... Some cars I did nt like then... even more so now... I guess if the criteria is old... then....

More than one journalist has voted the 78-79 924S, which has the 944 2.5L motor and 911-based suspension (vs VW Jetta/Passat of the original) the best of all the transaxles cars due to its low weight and non-USA EPA strangled engine. A front engine/rear transaxle, 50/50 weight distribution is about as close as you get to a mid-engine car/handling.

I just about bought one last summer but the owner, who is a mechanic at one of the better local Porsche shops, wrecked it right before he finished his freshen up. (Not his fault)

Still got my eyes peeled for one in good shape. A lot of car for $8-$10K.

ps: Porsche went back to its roots with the 924, like they did with the 914 before it: raided the VW parts bin to make a car that was greater than the sum of its parts.
