Had a VW Scirocco for the last 17 years, and the 914 almost a year now. I don't know how I lived without it. The mid engine is like cheating when it comes to handling. You're going to love it! First part I had to fix was the door handles. Felt right at home instantly.

It's an addiction, and there is no cure.
Enjoy.

check out the member vendors section of this site...between all of them you could almost build a 914 from scratch, and most of what they make is better than what the factory produced.
