In all honesty, my 914 is not any more expensive to keep running than my 1988 Accord. However, 2002 seems to be my transmission year as the autobox in the Accord died ($2,100 OUCH!) and the 914 is screaming for new synchros on first and second. I've had no unplesent surprises from the 914 that were not directly tracable to mistakes by me. (For example, my not checking to make sure that the P.O. had done more than hand-tighten the spark plugs.) Then again, my 914 is far from a daily driver, more of a "rolling restoration", so I can't say how one would fare if I put 10-15 thousand miles on it every year.
