Porsche 914
The 914 has gone down in history as one of the worst vehicles ever made by the German automaker. This budget-friendly mid-engine sports car was developed by Porsche and Volkswagen to serve as the entry-level Porsche. It went on sale in 1969 and was discontinued just 7 years later. Despite its quirky exterior design and a Targa roof, the 914 failed to sell. The sports car was awfully underpowered, its boxer engine barely made 100 horsepower! While the 914 was agile at tight turns, its terrible acceleration was far from appealing. The 914 has gone down in history as one of the worst vehicles ever made by the German automaker.

The article is dubious at best, even beyond the comments about our beloved 914. The M1, Dino, and Miata all end up on the list of worst sports cars ever? Not to mention a whole host of other cars I’d probably own. I mean who can say no to a Mustang II???

Not to mention a whole host of other cars I’d probably own. I mean who can say no to a Mustang II??? Dino 246 hovering at mid $400's to $500k (chairs + flares option) M1's at approx $500k...and 54 pro cars homologated for I'ntl. race use / IMSA on these shores Miata...Come on man ! leave the little guy alone; Mazdas can take a punishment and still carve canyons, on a cheap upgrade list !
