Not too bad. A few wrong facts, but generally decent

For a non-car magazine, that's a lot of detail.  Their take on it is whether a 914 is a good investment or not and there's not a word about the value of the driving experience.

Were we reading the same article?

Though his 914 isn't going to appreciate for decades, he should have had enough fun driving it by then to consider his money well spent.

Yes. Since that's the only line of the article that mentions the enjoyment of driving the cars while all the rest of it deals with technical matters and their cost. I'd say he didn't give enough attention to the adrenaline.
