New to the 914 Options

[Freedomsky]

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

Your question about the 914 being reliable for a daily driver: The answer is sometimes. It's a 40 year old car and the reliability of the one you buy will depend on how much money your spend on the car, and how well taken care of by the previous owner.

Being you're in college and budget is an issue, I would suggest that you look for a late model Honda or Subaru or equivalent, study real hard, graduate, get a job, then buy a 914 as a second car and have fun with it.

The 914 is a blast to own and a bitch to fix when something goes wrong especially if it is electrical, fuel injection, or rust related.
