I dunno, I dailied a 944 for about 7 years and didn't feel like I was missing anything. Sealed beam headlights meant that I could use Cibie H4 reflectors with 60/100W bulbs on a relay harness, I gave up no visibility at night to any newer vehicles. It did have a power driver's seat and power windows and mirrors and "automatic" climate control (which always seemed to require fiddling) but that was pretty much it.
If I could get another one today I would. Only reason I let it go is it was slap wore out and I didn't think I had a full mechanical rebuild in me (literally everything from the water pump to the transaxle would have needed to be rebuilt or replaced for me to trust it long term, because of all the vibrations or noises.) At the time (~10-15 years ago) it was over 20 years old and the repairs would have cost more than the car was worth.
