I have had seven 911's of the various varieties. Of them all the last two were my favorites, a '97 C4S coupe w/6 speed and my current '10 C4S with 6 speed. These cars feel so planted and attached to the road when you drive them aggressively that they are confidence inspiring. My older 911's, ranging from '73 to '83 always felt unsettled during hard driving. I was always aware the rear could step out suddenly on me. I have had 4 914's, three of them have been real Sixes. Since I have not really driven my current Six, it does not count yet. The first three all handled like they were go carts. I always felt like there was no turn that was to much of a challenge in these cars. I totally love the 914's and that is why I decided to buy and restore one to my liking this time.
IN summary, the 911 is a nice daily driver and commuter for my wife. The 914 is an absolute terrific driver and fun car and I intend to drive my Six regularly once it returns home. |
