• the workmanship wasn't very good
• driver's seat wasn't good; pasenger seat not adjustable
• shifting wasn't exact
• engine was too loud
• hard suspension
• 914: acceleration not good enaugh, compared with design and price
• 914-6: heavy impacts through the steering
• standard equipment wasn't state of the art
• cooling of the passengers cabin wasn't good enaugh

They pretty much nailed it!

Thank you. They missed the battery and fuel pump location.
And I did know that "Minuspunkte" means Cons. I lived in England for several years and I noticed many cars advertized with "Bluespot" as one of the accessories. Took some time for me to realize that the cars were fitted with Blaupunkt radios.
