Yea the 1.7 914 isn't big on performance and it suffers from the usual problems - the shifter is complete crap/sloppy, it's ugly, it's not very comfortable and the heater doesn't work. Actually pretty much nothing works. But the engine runs well and the suspension and brakes are good. One of these days maybe.

Gas mileage is great - I drove it all the way from New Mexico to here on I think three tanks of gas - I'll check my receipts. And that's with Webers. If you find one with the injection in good shape (good luck with that) you'll definitely get even better mileage.
