The Porsche 914 is a beloved classic sports car known for its exceptional handling, lightweight design, and engaging driving experience.

As most folks would agree the car was fun to drive and cornered flat. OTOH I was rear ended not once, not twice BUT THREE TIMES during four years of ownership...............but I will say its one of a few cars that I later sold for essentially what i paid for it. (The others were a Corvette and an RX-7)

Handles like a Dream, and most fun to work on! This thing eats corners for breakfast. The engine can be pulled in about an hour, and lots of aftermarket parts and upgrades are available (has a great enthusiast's support network). But, it's a money pit as far as maintenance goes. The engine parts are standard VW (unless you have the Porsche 6-cyl.), so that stuff is cheap, but everything else is vintage porsche!

Pros: Good looks, great cornering, good braking, easy to fix, good handling. Good suspension and balance. Cons: Underpowered to be a Porsche. Too flexible chassis, Rust is a 4 letter word for it. Some cheap VW terminations, as wheels and engine.
