I've heard some looking down on 718s, but that's about it.

I tend to find that's the other way round tbh.

Nice to see a healthy conversation about a topic that most agree on in some way or another. I see some regions are more friendly than others. As far as 986 hate I think any "entry" level car in a what most consider a prestige marque will always be looked down on no matter what. I enjoy my 986 even if its no 991 Turbo although I won't lie I really want a Carrera someday

Like I said Tongue in cheek. It's probably only me who believe that the Gen1 Boxsters were the 'best' Boxsters

No, when your right, you're right. Go with it. Long live the Fried Eggs and Amber Side Markers.

This really is a funny thread. The 914 is only just peering over the edge of acceptance after nearly 50 years! You're just gonna have to have some patience cause the rear axle boys are ahead of us, it might be a while. But then acceptance is NOT why I drive mine.
