He said in the review that he car was £48k which a base model is but that one was at least 60K with the options it had. Wonder if the standard car will review as well without PDK active suspension etc etc etc.

It's very nice but I've been told the old ones are unreliable, are the new ones any better?

The main problem I can see with owning a modern Porsche these days is that they are everywhere, no longer an exclusive kind of car to own.

There's nobs in both ... best bet is to have one of each - "a car for all seasons", to barsteward -ize Bolt's play ...

Cheers,
Robin

P.S. Why is barsteward not allowed - perfectly sensible word - P.C. gone mad :-)

There are some versions which are a little more exclusive:

There are approx 230 Spyders in the UK so they are a little bit rarer than the norm.

How things have changed, the 80s Porsche driver compared to Ape now wanting to get behind the wheel of one. I want to see him going to work in braces.

Have to admit that is a nice car and I would certainly consider having one but I still have trouble telling if it is coming or going (fnar fnar)
