Reading this forum for a while now and I see constant posts about questionable reliability with the 914. The last was in reguards to towing one behind a motorhome. Something like " I would not trust the 914 that far away from home". I am wondering what is breeding these feelings. I realize that if you have a severly modified motor, that this can be true. But, for our stock, or near stock 914s, reliability should not be an issue. Now granted, I have only owned mine for a couple of months now, but I have been a mechanic and VW/Porsche nut since, hell, since I knew what they were, and have never had issues with any car I properly maintained. I even took my 67 Type 3 squareback from here in Boise, to southern CA, accross through Arizona, New Mexico, northern TX, up through Colorado Wyoming and Montana, then back down to Boise. That was close to 5,000 miles in one trip, and other than two oil changes, I had no mechanical problems whatsoever.

The 914 should even be better than my TIII since it has a better motor. (My TIII had a TI based motor in it).

Just curious.
