In this video, JayEmm on Cars reviews a stunning Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet, freshly restored and resprayed in Peridot green. The host explores the S2 convertible’s quirks, including its basic development, frameless windows, and slightly tricky clutch. Despite some scuttle shake and modest electronics, the car proves surprisingly capable, enjoyable, and rewarding to drive, offering enough sporty performance without being overwhelming.
He praises the convertible’s open-air experience, appreciating how it enhances the pleasure of driving through scenic roads. Storage is limited compared with the coupe, and rear seats are largely impractical, likely included for insurance purposes. Still, the car balances charm, pace, and character, making it a compelling choice as a potential classic. Prices for well-kept examples fall within JayEmm’s budget, around £12–13k, offering accessible fun without excessive cost.
While he’s tempted to buy, he acknowledges the challenge of sticking to one model, noting he might be distracted by other Porsches like coupes or 968s, which are more expensive. Ultimately, he concludes the 944 S2 Cabriolet is delightful—quirky, fun, and relatively understated—perfect for someone who wants an engaging classic without breaking the bank.
