Economy
Value
Very good considering the performance.
Costs
Suprisingly ok to service as well as spares. Initially I expected to have to re-mortgage my house, but that wasn't the case

On the road
Driving
For the purchase value, it's not possible to beat such a driving expereince
Performance
Squealing 5,850 in 3rd and climbing as you power out of a slow bend says it all. Fantastic... still haven't had the bottle to put it on a track.

Living with it
Reliability
I had the relay switch go on my ignition which was messy, but otherwise it's still mint after 30,000m

Top drawer. However, whilst a newcomer to 911's may think they're buying a badge - you've no idea of the quality that comes with it.
Comfort
It's a 2+2. Extra space in the back seats it'd be perfect

Good, but then any car is at risk
