I have been buying bits of 964 sales literature and reviews from folks on eBay. I will be checking with the magazines that still exist to gain permission to publish on this site but in the meantime I hope nobody will mind me replicating them here for your enjoyment.
Firstly, Some Recent Reviews.

Carrera 4: First Reviews from 1989.
These four reviews were reprinted and packaged by Porsche Cars North America in a sales brochure reflecting how the Carrera 4 was received by motoring journalists. The reviews were the result of a Porsche Carrera 4 test drive jolly in Nice, France in November 1988. Overwhelmingly positive!

I am extremely grateful to Ruairidh Ross who scanned and emailed me the following reviews. Thank Ruairidh for all your effort. I have reformatted the reviews in Adobe Acrobat. You will need Adobe's reader to view them. They are around 1Mb each so I suggest you right click on the images and download them to your hard drive first.
Oh, and check our Ruairidh's stunning 964 Cabriolet on the Wallpaper page.
