Couldn't disagree more.
I drive a '72 1.7 150 miles a week and LOVE it!!
Would buy another in a heart beat.
Just because it isn't the "best" 914 doesn't mean it isn't an awesome car.
Kinda like dating the ugliest Victoria secrets swimsuit model.

Even my '73 2.0 was fairly gutless by modern standards. Now, a '73/'74 with a 911 engine is another story. Though it may never look as good as a 911, what a riot to drive.
