914

You know, I drive the 914 for the first time after I purchased the 986 and have been driving every day for about 4 weeks. I was expecting to feel like I was in some old awkward feeling/handling car. But actually, the 914 felt very similar to the 986, with perhaps a slight edge in handling because it was lighter.

I like both cars! Driving my 986 reminds me of the days when I drive my 914 as a daily driver. Same feeling. In those days I had no A/C and the reliability was not as great. The Boxster is a bit thicker (smaller on the inside than the 914) but I don't feel like I am driving a big fatty car. The feeling is right inside. Hopefully they keep this feeling in the newer Boxsters as their is the tendency to always go bigger. When I drive the 914 in traffic I always keep my hand near the horn, I always feel like I am smaller and perhaps not seen. Same feeling in the Boxster, but I feel a little safer becuase you have more mass around you.
