I've had three 914s over the years and have logged probably in the neighborhood of 80,000 miles in one.
They are very fun to drive when they are running.
I have to say they are not all they are cracked up to be. The cost per mile for a 914 has got to be many times that of the miata. You have to really be into 914s to really like them.
Kinda like a boat, the two best days for a 914 owner ...........
But having said that, I can drive a 914 without anyone questioning my manhood.
sorry, couldn't help that part.
