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?

No brainer on this. Boxster. Ask anyone that has owned both.
Modern with all the good stuff. Heavier but more HP. Bob B |

But, haven't driven one, so I should reconsider. Like the 914 they are affordable, which is good. One thing that is hard to remember, even for me is how simple cars could be back then. And of course I miss some of that such as a wing window and the ability to let air flow the car without turning on a fan and a solenoid. Or the ability to actually find a button by feel rather than looking down by the shifter for a touch screen. I like the lightness of a Lotus, but haven't tried one of them either. |
