I am torn between which car to buy on my £35k budget. I have narrowed the list down to the following:

Porsche Boxster S 3.2 (2nd hand)
Porsche Cayman S 3.4 (2nd hand)
Porsche 911 (higher mileage to copensate cost)
Honda S2000 2.0 VTEC GT (2008 New)

Test driving the Honda this week. Reviews claim the back end has a tendancy to swing out... ! The excessive rev's supposedly make it a pain to drive !!!

Can't distinguish between the Porsche, think both are great. Would prefer a low mileage 911, but its over the budget.


Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Interesting that you're comparing the Honda 2000 to the 911 and Boxter. Nevertheless, I would recommend the Boxster for you budget.

 

The S2000 was not a comparison. It fell into the pool of cars that I amkeen on having eliminated the likes of Audi, Lotus and Mercedes in the past two weeks!

The main advantage for me having a Honda is to curbthe grief from jealous neighbours etc I should be able to have a Honda on the drive without neighbours gossiping and some jealoous arsehole scratching it. My only fear with a Porsche is this may unfortunatly happen. I live in a suburb area, but the village is full of status anxious bastards ..!!! My R32 has the tiny door flushes stolen ! How oathetic is that. What was the point?

Test driving the Honda today. May turn out that I absolutly hate the drive. Heard its a nightmare to drive in bad weather. Not sure if this applies to the modified 2008 version of the Honda.

 

What are parents for? Just bit the pride bullet!

Father will put an extra £30k towards a Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S with 3600 miles on it. Just had an insurance quote. Its like having a horse kick you up the **** ! Quite a steep quote compared to my usual R32 cover. Best not let my sister find out! She drives a 1998 VW Polo !

Never test drove the Honda S2000 today, satnav send me in circles ! Destiny I say.

POrsche test drive was suprising. Quite an easy car to control ("touch wood". Love the torque.
