Advantages: Real Headturner

Disadvantages: Servicing is expensive

Overview
------------
I have just bought my 1st porsche - A 2.7 boxster manual. So far i am very pleased with it. I cant believe how cheap you can pick these up for now. My 2002 boxster with black leather cost just £8500! When decided what to buy i looked at a range of cars - namely the Audi TT, Porsche Boxster, Lotus Elise and Jaguar XK. After taking them all out for a drive i fell in love with the Porsche. It is so comfortable to drive for a sports car and the boot spaces in the front and back give enough room for a weekend bag and a couple of bags of shopping.

Road Handling
---------------------
Great - mid engine car and quite heavy so doesnt slide around like some sports cars.

Comfort
-----------
Great suspension and the seats are really comfortable - no comparison to the Lotus Elise which is unbelivably uncomfortable.

Fuel Consumption
-------------------------
Reasonable. Obviously you wont get the same miles to the gallon as a Saxo or Fiat Uno! But it isnt too bad for a 2.7l. The Road Tax has come as a little bit of a shock though!

Looks
--------
Supurb - Supercar looks at a Supermarket price. Facelift model is much the same as before. A timeless classic.

Overall
----------
Buy one that is around 4-5 years old and you cant go wrong. A really little head turner. Servicing is expensive but surely shes worth it!

Summary: Great car at an even better price!
