Re: Porsche 914 vs. MR2

I can say unequivicably(sp) that unless it is a true weekend driver type of car you want the mr2.

You are even comparing full generations of automotive techology.


The boxer engine is a ohv v4. Its performance is thrilling in the first 30 feet but sad in reality. This is a design that goes back to the 50s although it has been updated to compete with whatever year you find the 914 in I cant remember when they ceased production.

Im fairly certain most years of the mr2 are efi, dohc, eventually even vvti, i mean light years ahead.

I want to tell you as a former volkswagon and porsche owner that both kinds of cars are not what you can consider reliable by any real definition of the word. They are made to require regular mechanical attention.
