Left me with the impression that Porsche's evolved because owners needed durability.

Sounds like a real clunker! :-)
It's OK, the 914 suffered from poor ownership and a thin margin of profitability from the Porsche/VW venture. But... they are actually a pretty reliable car for the era. Compared to the Boxster, they do have more interior space. And, oddly enough, the 914 gets more attention than most modern Porsches. You just don't see them everyday. Mine is in very good condition, and people really like it at car shows, gas stations, etc.
