Knowing that back in the 70's when 914's were being sold and driven as daily drivers, I am sure there were those that drove them in the snow and ice during the winter months.

That being said ......is there anyone out there that used/drove the 914 in the Snow and snirt? Curious as to what they handled like and if they were a good winter car.

I have owned a few older beetles and Corvairs, these cars were very good in the snow and with a gas heater option you would never have to worry about being cold.

Never have had the opportunity to try a 914 in the snow, bur I bet it would be quite a rush....
