I bought my oldest son a 71 914 for his first car with the stipulation that he pay me back when he got a job. He was involved in a bunch of school activities at the time and a straight A student.

My thoughts were/are that it had great handling and brakes which are important for avoiding an accident, It only fits two so he couldn't load it up with a bunch of friends and do stupid things. They take a hit very well if he was in an accident. It doesn't have enough power to go out drag racing. I can literally beat him across a 5 lane intersection on my bicycle.
