I know what you're saying, but I own a 90hp 356, and love to drive it even though I have a 911 too. The 356 was my first car. Different car and different experience.

I'd imagine the 914 would be like comparing 356/911, though the 914 is more advanced in many ways then the 356... I've heard people say the steering response, 'road feel' is better in a 914 then about any Porsche out there? True? I figured with roughly 13,000 a year made of these things there'd be more of them out there - but I really don't see too many of them. I guess that's why this car caught my eye.

I'm tryin to arrange a chance to get back in there and have a better look at the car. If I can get pics, I'll post...
