G50 cars you pretty much don't even have to think about shifting, they act like most modern cars. BUT, are you willing to pay $10k for that? After driving a G50 car and a 915 car, I decided that it wasn't worth the extra money. I bought a car with a recent 915 refresh and called it good. If I could go back and do it again, I might wait for a 1986 car, just for the ventilation improvements made on that model year, and the fact the seat rails are lower. The fact is that you can get more car, or a better car for less money, if you open your search to the 915 cars.

Totally agree with these comments. I've had a couple of 915 cars, and all were great. They do generally feel "older". I wanted to find a G50 purely because I'd had 915s and wanted to try the much-hyped G50 to see for myself. I do like the G50 and don't mind the more modern shift feel (I have a '69 912, which has more than enough vintage feel to keep me happy!) and love the car, but would happily buy another 915 car.
