WHAT THE PRESS SAID

‘In roadholding, handling and ride, the 924 has few rivals and imparts great confidence to driver and passenger alike. Mechanical refinement is lacking at the top end of the engine’s range and the degree of road noise is a sad disappointment – one must remember that the car is not necessarily how Porsche would have designed and engineered it for themselves.’ Autocar, 924 road test, February 1977 ‘You're reminded of how tremendously stylish the Porsche 924 was. The fascia now looks plain, but back then its elegant simplicity stunned; Japanese sports cars were still trying to emulate it a decade later. The same applies to the driving feel of the 924. Now, it feels bumpy and noisy, but it was refined for its day, and while the gearchange is on the heavy side, it was an achievement to get it as precise as it was, given the remote linkage.’ 911 & Porscheworld, looking back at the 924, 912E and 914/6, September 2002
