I have been wondering a lot lately if there is an equivalent of a light weight sports car like a 914 made for today’s drivers. The 914 seems to have been focused on driving, rather than comfort: my 61 Falcon was no less comfortable or optioned. I know they have to pass safety and emissions. A toybaru?

Miata is probably as close as we get this side of the pond for a reasonable cost.
My fiesta ST gave me a very 914'y vibe with all the 70's colors available, punchy throttle and amazing balance. Toybaru is similar, geared towards more of a sports car than the Fiesta with a focus more on JDM nostalgia and driver feel than speed. The Alpha Romeo 4c spyder and Lotus Elise if were going to compare relative costs is probably as close as we can go with the Alpha close to what a modern interpretation would be due to its luxury, as the 914 wasnt a stripped down car like the lotus, it was a refined modern sports car of its time. |
