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?

Ideally a "modern" 914 is mid-engine with an open top... so Lotus Elise, Alfa 4C, MR2 spyder. As for Porsche, the bargain equivalent is a 986 Boxster.
Miata is a close second if only because it has been around so long and is such a versatile platform, despite not being mid-engined. Race car. Street car. AX/DE car. Grocery getter etc. Cheap to buy and maintain. Strong aftermarket support etc. |
