-It felt wheezy unless in boost
-Unpredictable nature of when boost hit
-I had it made out in my mind to be more than it was or possibly could be if that makes sense
-When comparing it to the 993 it plain sucked to drive, 993 is more substantial and solid feeling (that may of been the two particular examples)

You hit pretty close to home with...."That turbo motor and the four speed makes it a really different beast. "

I guess I'm getting old and soft lol..........:ah:
Some of the same reasons others point too. Add to that it loving to oversteer if you don't know what your doing. The 5 speed in the 89s supposedly help with keeping it on boost. The only thing that might be better then a 993 is a 993 Turbo.
