My 914 when I start tracking it again this season should hang with the faster Miatas. ( finally )
It takes 200 hp and slicks to hang with a 120hp Miata on 205/50/15 street tires...

I think this comment pretty much sum up the argument for me.
As for the comment saying the dual trunks of the 914 outperform the Miata in the cargo category..who cares unless you are packing for a cross-country trip. In that case, the relaxed cruise of the longer-geared 914 would have to be balanced against air conditioning and heat that both work.
At 6'3", (or I used to be), I am a press fit into an early Miata. Having said that, the driving dynamics of the vehicle are such that it makes you feel remarkably 'in contact' with the four corners of the car as soon as the wheels start turning.
Given a choice between an MX5 and a 914 the older car wouldn't get a second thought from me.
