I've loved these cars ever since I have seen my first one in person. Part of me really wants one, but I have a few questions before I get my hopes too high. I feel you all would be the perfect people to ask! My ideal scenario would be to use it as a daily driver, so I was curious how reliable they tend to be, or how easy/affordable they are to fix (I'm in college now so cost is a factor)? For those of you who drive them often, how's the gas mileage? And then at six foot three, can I even fit inside?
Thanks guys in advance! And if you want tell me what about the 914 you love and why I should drive one |

I love 914's. I'm glad you love 914's.
If you can do the work yourself, you can afford to drive one. However, they can tend to be higher maintenance. Do you have a garage to work on it? It all depends on your situation....when I was in college, I was poor as dirt. Maybe a 914 is not in your cards until after college and you have steady income. I get 28MPG on my 74 2.0L. I'm only 5'10" so I can't speak for the taller folks. Oh and.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
