Living with it
Reliability
After 42k miles, the valve spring broke which cost £6k, not really what I expected from Porsche.
Image
Full leather interior a must, with good sound system.
Comfort
A little cramped, but I'm 6'4", still plenty of head room, leather seats make for a comfortable ride.

Security and Service
Security
As expected.
Service
Very poor service from dealer, it had to go back several times after service (driver door dropped, hood not working). After writing to Porsche UK they really didn't care, little fish came to mind.
