TR6, TR7 or MG midget or Mazda Miata are actually all too small for me. I have been in all, and I had trouble moving or where to put my legs, after a ride, I could not wait to get out and dreaded going back in. 914, on the other hand is very spacious and fun to drive. I had a GF who had a 914, we took that 914 out from SF to Mentecca Waterworld under the California sun, 2 hrs+ each way, fun fun fun.
We all know someone or yourself who had a Fiat Spyder in the garage which one of these days they will eventually be fixed and restored and take it out for a spin, that day never came for all of them. I seen them and almost bought one to restore. Fantasy is fantasy.
VW, reliable or not is a cheap brand of cheap cars. They will run run and run, but they were cheap cars and will be cheap cars, designed and made to be such. In the Porsche owners' world, a Porsche with a VW heart will be avoided by all for decades to come. Why pay top price to be a second class citizen?
