    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not worth that much but you can't have this much rear-wheeled drive fun for less!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fuel usage in 1st-4th is quite high once you get into 5th very low. Loves both motorways and country roads. Service costs quite high

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You sit low down and there is a mass of information through the wheel and pedals, far more than modern cars.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nice and fast 0-50 in 5.4 seconds; top speed 140mph.

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    My uncle had it for 15 years my dad 5 and now I've started using it. Only one thing has ever gone wrong and that's when the alarm fell onto the brake pedal and this wasn't fitted by Porsche in the first place.
